What is Boords?
Boords is a storyboarding app with an AI storyboard and image generator that turns scripts into frames and animatics. It is used by agencies, production companies, animation studios and in-house video teams to plan commercials, explainers and films before production.
Boords combines the parts of pre-production that usually live in separate files: a script editor, a storyboard grid, an AI image generator for frames, an animatic tool with timing and audio, and a client review link for comments and approvals. The AI generator creates frames in a consistent style from your script or shot descriptions, so a first board can be ready in minutes instead of days. Teams use it for pitches, client sign-off, shot lists and handing clear plans to crews.
