Storyboarding and video pre-production tool for creative teams with animatics and client review

boords.com ↗

AI storyboarding tool builds out collaboration and image-generation depth.

◆Current state
Boords is a storyboarding tool for creative teams that has been advancing on two fronts at once: real-time collaboration (presence, notifications, review flows) and an AI image generator (canvas sketching, reframing, revisions). The recent cadence is steady and product-focused.
◆Where it's heading
Boords is maturing from a drawing canvas into a shared production workspace, where every generated frame is versioned and review happens in-app rather than over email. The AI image tools are becoming a first-class part of the frame editor.
◆Prediction
Expect continued tightening of the review-and-approval loop and more controllable AI image generation, since both threads are getting near-weekly attention.

    Send for Review

    Send for Review emails a storyboard link to a client directly from the presentation view, collapsing the copy-link-paste-email routine into one step. Part of pulling the review loop in-app.

    Camera Reframe

    Camera Reframe regenerates a frame from a different viewpoint via angle/height/distance presets, without redrawing from scratch. Extends the AI generator with directorial control.
