What is Axure RP?

Axure wires its cloud canvas into the AI coding loop with an alpha MCP server

Axure has grown from its RP prototyping desktop app into Axure Cloud, a collaborative canvas with whiteboards and documents (out of beta in late 2025). Recent releases build out that cloud surface — libraries, custom templates, PDF export, tablet support — and have begun wiring in AI: document AI chat, and now an alpha MCP server that exposes whiteboard and document context to coding agents.

What is Pitch?

Pitch turns AI-native — from 25+ slide actions to a full deck-building Agent — while adding enterprise controls.

Pitch is a presentation platform that has moved decisively toward AI-assisted deck creation. Over the past year it layered in 25+ AI slide actions, built-in AI image generation, and now Pitch Agent — a chat-driven agent that generates on-brand, editable decks from real templates. In parallel it is hardening for larger teams with teamspaces and SCIM provisioning.

Axure wires its cloud canvas into the AI coding loop with an alpha MCP server

◆ Current state

Axure has grown from its RP prototyping desktop app into Axure Cloud, a collaborative canvas with whiteboards and documents (out of beta in late 2025). Recent releases build out that cloud surface — libraries, custom templates, PDF export, tablet support — and have begun wiring in AI: document AI chat, and now an alpha MCP server that exposes whiteboard and document context to coding agents.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is turning Axure Cloud into a full collaborative design-and-docs workspace and connecting it to the AI toolchain. Libraries and templates standardize team assets; the MCP alpha and document AI chat point Axure at the design-to-code and agentic workflow. A meaningful share of the cadence is still stabilization and polish on the young cloud canvas.

◆ Prediction

Expect Axure to harden the MCP integration toward general availability and expand AI in documents and whiteboards, while rounding out cloud-canvas basics like custom colors, libraries, and export. The pull is toward being a context provider for AI coding tools, not only a prototyping app.

Pitch turns AI-native — from 25+ slide actions to a full deck-building Agent — while adding enterprise controls.

◆ Current state

Pitch is a presentation platform that has moved decisively toward AI-assisted deck creation. Over the past year it layered in 25+ AI slide actions, built-in AI image generation, and now Pitch Agent — a chat-driven agent that generates on-brand, editable decks from real templates. In parallel it is hardening for larger teams with teamspaces and SCIM provisioning.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is clear: automate deck creation end to end — the Agent generates, refines via chat, and acts as a creative partner — while making Pitch safe for enterprise rollout via segmented teamspaces, SCIM, and expiring links. Editor quality-of-life work continues underneath, but the headline bets are agentic generation and team-scale administration.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued investment in Pitch Agent — deeper chat refinement and brand fidelity — alongside more enterprise controls following teamspaces and SCIM.
