A visual context layer

Visual context for
AI workflows.

Point, mark, and speak. Canvas Prompt carries your mark, your words, the object, and the moment—so your AI gets the context it needs. Works alongside AI terminals, CLI tools, and agents. Start with Codex.

Make AI work where your thinking happens.

A spatial surface for marks, references, spoken feedback, and the next decision.

“Move this up a little.”

this → “Make AI work…”

Recommended integration: Codex

Start with Codex.

Canvas Prompt saves local context that AI terminals, CLI tools, and agents can inspect through an adapter. Codex is the first public integration with a complete install and “send to main conversation” loop.

# Add the Canvas Prompt marketplace
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/dlxeva/canvas-prompt

# Install Canvas Prompt
codex plugin add canvas-prompt@canvas-prompt

Codex: complete public integration · Other AI hosts: open canvas + adapter + real install validation. Open a new Codex task after installing or updating to load the plugin.

The immediate use

Feedback should not have to leave the work.

Visual feedback often becomes a screenshot, a long explanation, and a guess about which “this” you meant. The canvas can retain the reference itself.

01 / THE HANDOFF

Screenshot → chat

Mark a place. Move to a conversation. Reconstruct the location, object, and instruction in text.

“the title near the top…”
02 / THE CANVAS

Mark → speak → continue

Circle the object and say what you want to change. The reference stays tied to the surface while your AI gets the context it needs.

“move this up a little”
Two ways in

See the interaction.
Then the wider idea.

Start with the concrete moment: point, speak, and keep the reference. Then see why a full working path can matter too.

Point. Speak. Continue.

The same canvas, more room

A correction is where most people start.
Some work needs the whole path.

When the question itself is still forming, the marks, hesitations, rejected routes, and spoken reasons are part of what the next AI needs.

A session replay

Watch a judgment take shape.

The replay reconstructs a 76-second session: alternatives are placed, one is rejected, and a final direction is marked on the canvas.

The Prompt Package

The output is not a summary.
It’s evidence.

Canvas Prompt organizes the working material of a session into context another AI workflow can inspect and continue from.

semantic_eventsWhat you concluded—and when.
object_states.rejectedWhat you crossed out remains on record.
evidence_refsEvery claim links back to an observable moment.
Thinking sovereignty

You define the question.
You decide what stays.

Canvas Prompt keeps the working material of your judgment available to the AI that joins next. The question, the paths worth keeping, and the final call remain yours.

01You frame the question.
02You keep or reject the paths.
03You make the call.
Design partners

Bring one real question.

We are looking for deep AI collaborators: people who already work with AI and still reach for a sketch, a whiteboard, or a rough diagram when the work is not clear yet. Bring one live problem. One session. One export.
