Causal
Causal is a spatial workspace and infinite AI canvas for planning visual projects by connecting notes, files, and links in a single view.
Causal provides an infinite canvas workspace for planning visual projects, storing notes, images, files, and links in one location. The system uses an AI agent that reads the entire board to understand connections between thoughts and helps organize ideas. Users create structure by grouping items into collections, nesting canvases within other canvases, or parking unplaced files in a tray. It serves creatives who need to plan before executing, allowing for visual arrangement that mimics conceptual thinking. The platform supports direct uploads for PDFs, documents, markdown, spreadsheets, images, and video, offering fullscreen previews for most formats.
