Whether you are managing a brainstorming session or a detailed project roadmap, your agent acts as a real-time visual assistant, keeping your assets organized and your team aligned.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 10 tools from BoardMix through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries BoardMix, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
