Welcome to Gavana
Gavana is a visual AI canvas for people and agents. Create text, image, and sticky-note ideas; connect them; then review or make work on the board. Browse the guides below or use search to find an answer quickly.
For people and agents
Bring Gavana into the conversation
One set of docs for the visual workspace and the automation contract. Start by inspecting a canvas; Gavana only writes or starts provider-backed work when you explicitly ask it to.
Inspect with an agent
Connect the hosted read-only MCP to let an agent list, read, preview, and open canvases without changing anything.
Start read-only Create with careMake durable canvas work
Read the safety contract, then connect a client or the CLI when you intend to save a node, create a Recipe, or run an approved generation.

Revision-safe writes, idempotent retries, signed webhooks, and a documented endpoint for every operation.
