> Visual programming and multimodal AI workflow canvas by tldraw

computer is an experimental infinite-canvas application from tldraw that turns diagrams into executable programs. It uses multimodal language models as a runtime, letting you connect text, images, speech, logic blocks, and buttons to process and transform data directly on the whiteboard.

## What it is for

- Prototype multimodal AI pipelines by wiring prompts, media inputs, and logic blocks together
- Build interactive visual toys and story or asset generators using branching flows
- Experiment with natural language computing without writing traditional code

## Features

- Infinite canvas interface powered by the tldraw SDK
- Multimodal LLM runtime for executing component instructions
- Draggable building blocks including text, image, camera, speech, file, and web inputs
- Interactive UI controls such as buttons, toggles, ranges, switches, and dialogs
- Control flow support for branching conditions, timers, intervals, and loops
- Pre-built starter templates like Story Generator, Sorting Machine, and Email Factory

## Pricing

Free to use in the browser

## Why it was saved

- [@techbible.ai, 22 December 2024](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DD4tFVEAlmJ/): It lets you chain instructions, text prompts, image generators, speech synthesis, conditional logic, and website builders into executable node graphs entirely on an infinite whiteboard.
