AI co-editor, built in — powered by Claude
Describe a diagram and get a real, editable board in seconds. Then drag, draw and present it with your team — while AI-Noddle edits right alongside you.

a quick tour
✦ AI co-editor
Type what you want in the AI bar. AI-Noddle edits the real board — adds shapes, reroutes arrows, animates flows — and any change rolls back in one click.
Text or Mermaid → board ✦
Describe a flow or paste Mermaid. You get editable shapes, not a picture.
Sketch → board ✦
Upload a whiteboard photo and get clean, movable shapes back.
Rollback & Ask mode ✦
Undo any AI edit as one step, or switch to Ask for advice without touching the board.
Library
Drag from ten packs of ready pieces — flowcharts, wireframes, mobile screens and 100+ AWS, Azure and Google Cloud icons. Arrows snap on, route themselves and animate the flow.
100+ cloud icons
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud services, grouped into clear categories.
Smart arrows
Side-aware orthogonal routing with segments you can drag and keep.
My library
Save any selection once and reuse it on every board.
Templates
Architecture, flowcharts, kanban, roadmaps, wireframes, org charts, ERDs and retros. Every one is fully editable — and AI-Noddle can adapt it to your project.
Import draw.io
.drawio files come in with their pages, groups and labels.
Multi-page boards
Page tabs keep a whole project on one board.
Version history
Every save is a snapshot you can restore for the whole room.
Try it on a real board
Live together
Live cursors and presence, comment pins with @mentions, and per-person undo that never rewinds a teammate’s work.
Comments & @mentions
Pin a thread to a shape, an arrow or a spot. Mentions land in an inbox.
Private by default
Invite by email as viewer or editor, or turn on a share link.
Teams & SSO
Shared team spaces, roles and Google / any OIDC sign-in on Team.
Pen · laser · present
Circle what matters with a pen or highlighter, then turn pages into slides and point with a laser — straight from the board.
Pen & highlighter
Pressure-style ink that scales with the shapes it marks.
Laser pointer
Press K while presenting; the trail fades on its own.
Animated exports
Flowing edges bake into a seamless looping GIF.
Share & embed
Board links show a preview card when pasted into Slack or Microsoft Teams. Embed live boards in Notion, Confluence or any page via iframe or embed link — or hand out private embed links that expire.
Slack, Teams & webhooks
Send board activity to Slack, Microsoft Teams or any webhook — paste your own webhook URL.
Export anything
SVG, PNG, GIF, Mermaid, Board JSON or a PNG deck.
Cloud drive sync — coming soon
Keep boards in the cloud drive your team already uses.
For AI agents
A scoped API token is an agent’s identity. Agents edit boards via MCP (stdio + Streamable HTTP) or the public REST API — they list, create and edit boards under their own name, right there in presence.
$ claude mcp add --transport http noddle \
https://board.noddle.dev/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer noddle_••••"
› Draw our checkout flow on a new board and
leave a comment on the riskiest step.
✦ noddle · create_board “Checkout flow”
✦ noddle · update_board 9 shapes, 8 arrows
✦ noddle · add_comment on “Payment retry”MCP — stdio + Streamable HTTP
Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop and any MCP client.
Public API v1
REST endpoints with an OpenAPI reference.
Scoped, revocable tokens
Read, write, comment or AI — grant only what an agent needs.
Type a sentence, paste Mermaid, pick one of 60 templates or upload a sketch.
Drag Library pieces, let arrows route themselves, mark it up — with your team live.
Send one link, embed the live board, or present the pages as slides.
Integrations
Let Claude draw on your boards, ping Slack when they change, sign in with your company account, and script everything else over a real API.
Your AI agent works on boards as itself — lists and reads them, drafts new diagrams, updates shapes and arrows, browses versions and leaves comments. One line for Claude Code; any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP connects the same way.
$ claude mcp add --transport http noddle https://board.noddle.dev/mcp
--header "Authorization: Bearer noddle_…"

✦ credits pay for AI only: a text→board draft is 3 ✦, an AI edit 2 ✦, a sketch→board 5 ✦. Drawing, collaboration, import and export are always free. Prices in USD.
The whole drawing engine ships as noddle draw (MIT): open a link, draw, share — no account. Noddle Board is the hosted workspace around it: your boards, your team, AI credits, and someone else running the servers.

AI actions are metered in ✦ credits: a text→board draft costs 3 ✦, a co-editor edit 2 ✦ and a sketch→board conversion 5 ✦ at the default thinking effort (higher effort costs more and says so before you send). Drawing, collaboration, import and export never use credits, and a failed AI call is refunded.
Yes. Downgrading keeps every board you made — you fall back to Free limits for new work. Boards export as SVG, Mermaid or Board JSON on every plan, so your work is never locked in.
Only what you hand to an AI feature — the prompt, Mermaid or image you submit, or the board you ask AI-Noddle to edit. Normal editing and collaboration never call a model, and AI output is sanitized before it is stored or shown. Don’t paste confidential or personal data into AI prompts.
Yes. Create a scoped API token, connect the Noddle MCP server (or call the REST API) and agents can read, create and edit boards as themselves. They appear in presence under their own name, so you always know who drew what.
draw.io is a powerful manual editor; Excalidraw is a lovely sketchy canvas. Noddle Board combines a real diagram engine — smart arrows, cloud stencils, multi-page boards, version history — with an AI that edits the board in the room with you. It imports your draw.io files, so trying it costs nothing.
The editor is open source (MIT) as noddle-dev/noddle-draw: one docker compose up gives you the full anonymous board with bring-your-own-key AI. Accounts, teams, SSO and included ✦ credits are the hosted layer at board.noddle.dev.
Describe it, drop a sketch or pick a template — then make it right, together. Pick your door:

Made by
Noddle Board is built by a crew of five, with an AI as a co-editor. No growth team, no dark patterns — just the whiteboard we wanted to exist, shipped with honest changelogs. If something’s missing, tell us and watch it ship.
