Why do I need an AI use-case canvas?
To make an AI idea assessable and actionable: the canvas captures value, data, risks and components so that business, IT and compliance work from the same basis.
Does the canvas detect technologies automatically?
Yes. From your description the canvas detects components and vendors and classifies them — this later feeds the architecture generator.
Can I document multiple use cases?
Yes. With a Pro account you manage and compare any number of canvases; for free you fill in one canvas completely.
