Whimsical
Visual workspace for flowcharts, mind maps, and wireframes with AI that generates diagrams from text.
About
Whimsical is a visual collaboration workspace for flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, sticky notes, and documents. Its AI can draft a diagram, mind map, or wireframe from a text prompt, and users can then refine it by hand on an infinite canvas. Everything stays in one place, so boards double as living documentation.
Recent additions include real-time multiplayer editing, an official MCP server that lets AI agents read and build in Whimsical workspaces, and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. The free tier includes 3 team boards, with viewers free on every plan.
