What is Boords?
Boords now owns the full script-to-storyboard workflow — and that changes what it competes with.
Boords has expanded from a storyboard creation tool into a pre-production pipeline platform. Scripts now live inside Boords — written, reviewed, approved, and converted to storyboards without leaving the app. The Asset Library adds a shared image and AI-generated character database that teams can build and reuse across projects. These two additions in a single month represent a category shift, not a feature release.
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.

Boords
7.5DESIGN
Boords now owns the full script-to-storyboard workflow — and that changes what it competes with.
◆ Current state
Boords has expanded from a storyboard creation tool into a pre-production pipeline platform. Scripts now live inside Boords — written, reviewed, approved, and converted to storyboards without leaving the app. The Asset Library adds a shared image and AI-generated character database that teams can build and reuse across projects. These two additions in a single month represent a category shift, not a feature release.
◆ Where it's heading
Boords is closing in on a full pre-production studio: script → storyboard → client review, all in one tool. The retention story — keeping video production teams inside Boords rather than splitting across Google Docs, Frame.io, and Dropbox — is getting stronger with each release. The next gap is the transition out of Boords and into production tools.
◆ Prediction
Animatic or rough-cut timeline export from storyboards is the likely next release — the pipeline now goes from script in to reviewed storyboard out; closing the loop to rough-cut delivery would complete the pre-production surface and give Boords a clear handoff point to editors.
Pitch
2.5DESIGN
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.
