What It Is
The Sketcher is part of our suite of sidekicks called "AI Teammate Personas." It is an AI collaborator designed to transform abstract ideas into visual representations that speak louder than words. This Sidekick creates mind maps, story diagrams, and hand-drawn black-and-white sketches inspired by Design Sprint storytelling techniques, helping teams visualize concepts quickly and intuitively.
