Agile Planning & Advanced Canvas Capabilities
High-leverage diagramming and backlog management enhancements.
Draw directed and labeled connection lines between arbitrary nodes across different branches (e.g., Frontend → API, Service A → Kafka → Service B, dependency links).
Select multiple nodes or an entire branch and batch-create Jira issues in a single preview table with pre-filled summaries, issue types, and parent hierarchies.
Attach formatted notes, URLs, API specs, and references directly to idea nodes without cluttering the canvas.
Upload diagrams, architecture blueprints, or email thread snapshots to serve as a dimmed backdrop layer for visual mapping on top.
Export entire hierarchical graphs to CSV for spreadsheet reporting in Excel / Google Sheets.
Add custom metadata chips, sprint tags, and visual priority badges to individual nodes.
Multi-User Collaboration & Granular Permissions
Real-time live war-room presence and role-based sharing controls.
Live co-editing with presence indicators, shared cursors, and node-level discussion threads for team refinement sessions.
Invite specific users or groups to private/project mind maps with granular Viewer (read-only) or Editor roles.
AI Intelligence & Developer Integrations
Contextual AI summaries and agentic workflows connecting codebases to canvases.
Chat with your mind map to ask questions, extract action items, and generate executive summaries with a Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) privacy-first backend.
Expose Forge KVS mind map tools via MCP so IDE AI agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Antigravity) can read, generate, and update mind maps directly from codebases.
Platform Expansion & Ecosystem Integrations
