Introduction
Kanvas is the operational nervous system for modern businesses and AI agents.
Just like a biological nervous system coordinates signals between the brain and the body, Kanvas coordinates data, workflows, systems, and actions across an organization.
AI models provide intelligence. Agents provide decision-making. Kanvas provides the operational infrastructure that allows those decisions to execute in the real world.
Without a nervous system, intelligence cannot act.
The Modern AI Stack

| Business Systems | Execution of real-world actions |
What Kanvas Provides
Kanvas gives you the core operational primitives every business needs — pre-built, production-ready, accessible through a single GraphQL API:
Entities
Users, companies, customers, products, orders, leads — your system of record
Relationships
Company → Customers → Orders → Products — navigate the operational graph
Events
order.created, lead.received, inventory.updated — things that happen
Workflows
Automated operational processes triggered by events or agent decisions
Actions
Structured operations that change system state safely
Integrations
Connections to CRMs, ERPs, payment providers, messaging, and more
Memory
Historical data, workflow state, activity logs, business context
Custom Fields
Extend any entity with domain-specific data without schema changes
Cloud-Hosted, No Setup
Kanvas is a cloud API. No servers to manage, no databases to design. Sign up, get your keys, and start building. Everything is accessed through a single GraphQL endpoint using either your super admin key (X-Kanvas-Key) or app key (X-Kanvas-App).
Multi-Tenant by Default
Every application gets its own isolated data space, scoped by company and branch. Users can belong to multiple companies. Data is always isolated between tenants.
