Storyboarding and video pre-production tool for creative teams with animatics and client review

boords.com ↗

Boords adds @mentions for saved assets and lets users pick the image model.

◆Current state
Boords grew from a storyboard tool into a pre-production workspace this summer with the Script Editor and the Asset Library. September and October added @mentions that pull saved characters, locations and products into prompts, a choice of image model per plan, dark mode after ten years, bulk PDF download and export to Google Slides.
◆Where it's heading
Recent releases make the Asset Library the backbone of AI generation, so characters and products stay consistent across frames. The October releases turned to output and delivery, with Slides export and bulk PDFs.
◆Prediction
Expect more work connecting the Asset Library to generation and export; the next model or plan change is unclear from the feed.

    Export to Google Slides

    Storyboards now export as an editable .pptx with images, titles and notes that imports into Google Slides in one step, replacing a ZIP of PNGs placed by hand.

    Dark Mode

    Dark mode arrives after ten years, following device settings with a per-browser choice and leaving frames untouched. Share links follow the viewer's own theme.

    September 2026: asset @mentions and a choice of image model

    The September roundup brings @mentions for up to four saved assets in prompts, a choice between Nano Banana 2 and two GPT Image 2.5 models, optional 90-day password rotation for Agency teams, and the style picker in the Agent composer. It ties generation more closely to the Asset Library.

    @Mentions for Assets

    Named assets in the library can now be referenced with @ in image prompts, so Boords pulls them in without re-uploading. It is the first link between the Asset Library and generation for keeping characters consistent.

    Asset Library

    ⚡ SPARK

    The Asset Library gives teams a shared, organized image database — populated by upload or by the AI Playground — that persists across projects. This is the infrastructure for visual consistency across a production company's work, and it extends Boords' competitive position from 'storyboarding tool' to 'visual production asset manager.'
