Answer

Using BoardSnap for design reviews.

Short answer

Yes. Design reviews that use a whiteboard — for critique, sketching alternatives, or mapping feedback — are a natural fit for BoardSnap. Snap the board at the end and get a structured summary of the feedback and action items in about ten seconds.

Design reviews come in two flavors: the kind that happen in Figma comments, and the kind that happen in a room. The room version — where the designer presents work and the team writes feedback on a whiteboard, sketches alternative directions, or diagrams a flow that isn't working — produces valuable whiteboard content that typically evaporates after the meeting.

The design review workflow with BoardSnap

  1. Run the review as normal. The team sketches feedback, marks up the flow, notes the open questions on the whiteboard.
  2. At the close of the review, snap the board with BoardSnap. One tap — VisionKit handles the angle.
  3. BoardSnap AI reads the feedback points, sketches, and annotations and returns a summary with action items. Open items become the to-do list for the next design iteration.
  4. The summary goes into the design project's notes — Notion, Linear, Figma comments, whatever the team uses.

Brand-aware summaries mean the recap sounds like your product vocabulary, not a generic AI transcript. Paste the product URL into the BoardSnap project once and the language calibrates.

Pinned context is useful here: pin the design principles or the user persona. When you ask the AI "Which of these feedback points conflicts with our stated principles?" — it answers with that context in mind.

What BoardSnap doesn't do: It doesn't annotate your Figma file or integrate directly into your design tool. The output is a text summary and action item list that you bring into your design workflow. For teams who capture design feedback in Linear or Notion, that's the right handoff format.

Frequently asked

Can I use BoardSnap to capture Figma screens printed and annotated on paper?

Yes. BoardSnap reads printed mockups with handwritten annotations as well as whiteboards. The perspective correction and AI reading work on any flat surface with written content.
