Overview

Allternit-Canvas is the platform’s artifact computer. It is a split-pane surface that renders rich artifacts (documents, slides, sheets, code, images, video, audio, diagrams) alongside the conversation or workflow that produced them. The canvas is not just a viewer: it hosts specialized renderers per content type and supports Mixture of Agents (MoA) creative workflows.
