The Spatial Harness: Bringing Agents to the Canvas

Official Schedule Context

What if chat is the wrong interface for managing agents? What if we're holding ourselves back by

squeezing our thoughts and the way we work to into a one-dimensional, single-threaded interface? At

a high level, this talk aims to present the work we've done at tldraw to build a spatial harness, or

a way to allow agents to work on a canvas and collaborate with users and each other natively. This

work represents important steps towards building better agent + canvas experiences, a product

category we've seen explode in the recent months (Paper, Replit Agent 4, Google Stitch, etc). It's

also not something I've really seen talked about elsewhere. See: - Multi-agent collaboration on the

canvas (fairies.tldraw.com) - We've also recently brought code mode

(https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode-mcp/) to the tldraw desktop app and MCP app.
