Agencies lose hours chasing files and repeating kick-off emails.

What if we handled onboarding for them?

Teams of 2–10. Several new clients a month. No dedicated account manager.

  • A one-off onboarding audit

  • A done-for-you client portal

  • Monthly onboarding support

Ask what the last messy handoff cost.

How do we test demand before building?

Prove demand for the service before investing in software.

Example animation with simulated collaborator cursors. The team explores a client onboarding service for design agencies. AI adds a suggestion to deliver the service manually first, followed by a plan to interview five founders and test a paid pilot. This is a scripted demonstration, not a live AI request. The animation loops: each new card appears with a thinking constellation before its title and text generate word by word. Pause the animation using the pause control. An unconnected image card shows a playful orange cat riding a blue pencil skateboard.

Frequently asked questions

Questions
about Noteboard.ai

What is Noteboard.ai?

Noteboard.ai is a visual workspace for AI brainstorming, mind mapping, and moodboards. Capture notes and references, choose the context for an AI request, and review suggestions before adding them to your board.

Can I turn a PDF, webpage, or video into a mind map?

Yes. Upload a PDF, paste an article or webpage URL, or bring a video upload or direct downloadable video-file link. Review the extracted text or transcript, choose your focus, and generate an editable mind map. Keep page references, source links, or timestamps beside the ideas so you can return to the original material. Video conversion uses spoken content; YouTube and other watch-page links are not supported.

Can I make a moodboard in Noteboard.ai?

Yes. Upload, drop, or paste images onto your board, then use Fit and Crop to frame each reference. Add named color swatches, group related cards, and use alignment and spacing tools to bring your composition together.

What files and links can I add to a board?

Drop, paste, or upload images, video, audio, PDFs, spreadsheets, and other files. Preview media and PDFs on the canvas, view an XLSX sheet, and embed websites or YouTube and Vimeo links. Add notes beside your references and connect the material to the ideas it inspires.

Can I export my mind maps and moodboards?

Export a whole board or selected cards as a PNG image or a single-page PDF. Saved images, swatches, notes, and connections keep their layout. Embedded websites, PDFs, video, and audio appear as labeled references in the export.

Can I turn a voice note into a mind map?

Yes. Record a voice note or upload an audio file, then review and edit the transcript. AI organizes your thoughts into connected, editable notes on a new board. Your reviewed transcript stays on the board as a reference.

Do I have to use AI?

No. You can write notes, connect thoughts, arrange images, and build color palettes without AI. When you want another perspective on a written idea, the AI tools can help you expand, challenge, research, combine, or develop it.

How do I keep a brainstorming session focused?

Choose selected notes, their connected ideas, or the active board. Review the included notes, project goal, and applicable constraints before submitting your request. Park tangents to leave them out of ordinary board AI context.

Does AI change my ideas automatically?

AI results arrive as suggestions for you to review. Edit them, keep them, or dismiss them. A suggestion only becomes part of your board when you decide to keep it.
