It started with a slide deck.
Gapswork: developing a client’s problem-solving method into a manuscript and an AI-powered whiteboard.
The starting point
The client had a presentation deck explaining their method. My first job was to help develop it into a manuscript. That meant working beyond what fit on a slide: examining the ideas, developing the explanations, and finding a sequence a reader could follow.
The client felt the manuscript gave them room to explore their method in greater depth.
Making it interactive
I then designed and built an AI-powered whiteboard intended for learning the method and using it in facilitation sessions. I created custom Gaps diagrams, designed the interface, and built a backend for user accounts.
I led the art direction, design, and development, using AI coding agents to implement the application. My work included structuring their instructions, inspecting the output, testing the interactions, and revising what didn’t work.
What changed
A presentation became a manuscript and a working application. The whiteboard includes custom diagrams, user accounts, and AI interactions supplied with context about the method.
The method belongs to the client. I helped develop the ways people could read it, explore it, and work with it. The manuscript and application continue to develop.
