How consultants capture workshop output — fast and on-brand.
Short answer
Consultants traditionally photograph workshop boards and spend hours manually writing up the output. BoardSnap is an iOS app that automates the write-up: snap any whiteboard or flip chart, and BoardSnap AI returns a clean summary plus action items in about ten seconds. Each project can be brand-tuned to sound like the client's company, not a generic AI.
A full-day client workshop generates an enormous amount of visual output: value stream maps on butcher paper, customer journey boards covered in sticky notes, priority matrices with dozens of items, org redesign sketches that span two whiteboards. At the end of the day, the consultant is standing in front of all of it, phone in hand, photographing frantically before the venue staff erases it.
That used to be where the real work started: turning those photos into a client deliverable. A skilled associate might spend two to four hours converting a single workshop's whiteboard photos into a structured write-up.
The BoardSnap workshop workflow
Consultants who use BoardSnap at the end of each workshop board snap in real time — between exercises, not just at the day's end.
- Create a Project for the client engagement. Paste the client's website URL once; BoardSnap AI calibrates its summaries to sound like the client's industry, terminology, and priorities.
- Throughout the workshop, snap each board as it fills up. VisionKit auto-corrects perspective even in conference room lighting with glare.
- BoardSnap AI returns a summary plus tri-state action items (open / in-progress / done) with subtasks for each board.
- At day's end, the client deliverable is already 80% drafted inside the project.
- Pin the key decisions and constraints. Every follow-up AI chat in the project remembers them — useful for writing the formal deliverable document the next morning.
What about digital workshop tools?
Miro and FigJam are excellent for remote or hybrid workshops, but most high-stakes in-person consulting engagements still use physical boards. Clients engage differently with a wall of stickies than a Miro board. BoardSnap bridges the physical and digital without forcing a change in workshop method.
Brand-aware summaries are the differentiator here. A consulting firm running a workshop at a healthcare client gets summaries that reflect healthcare language. Running one at a fintech startup gets a different voice. One URL paste per project, and it's calibrated.

Frequently asked
Can I run multiple client workshops in the same BoardSnap account?
Yes. BoardSnap Pro supports unlimited projects, so each client engagement gets its own project with its own brand tuning, pinned context, and board history. Free tier is capped at one project and 30 boards.
What happens to sticky notes on a whiteboard — does BoardSnap read them?
Yes. BoardSnap AI reads the entire visual field, including sticky notes, printed templates, and handwritten annotations. Dense sticky note grids may yield a less granular summary than clean handwritten boards, but the key themes and action items come through.
