Teams today are expected to work effectively while spread across offices, home workspaces, states, countries, and timezones, so simplifying and streamlining your communication and collaboration is vital to productivity. There are entire app marketplaces full of tools to help your team collaborate effectively, but attempting to stitch together these disparate tools causes needless friction and vastly complicates the everyday productivity of your team.
Vibe makes collaboration truly seamless on the Vibe Smart Whiteboard and Vibe Canvas , by integrating your favorite work apps onto one intuitive digital workspace. In this blog, we introduce the latest updates and key feature releases that are helping fuel your work-abilities, including AI-powered smart text and smart shapes, templates for brainstorming huddles, and security updates.
Vibe Canvas Features

Smart shape and quick duplicate
