Pick Builderii if…
- Whiteboards should turn into diagrams and plans
- You want AI to draft and tidy
- Your team isn’t all on Microsoft 365
- You want prototypes and user tests too
Microsoft Whiteboard alternative
A whiteboard where ideas turn into plans.
Microsoft Whiteboard is a fine place to sketch during a Teams call. Builderii is for when the sketch needs to become something: a flowchart, an org chart, a mind map, a set of screens, with AI doing the first draft.
Works in your browser · No card · Free to start

Questions
Good questions.
Is Builderii a free Microsoft Whiteboard alternative?
Yes, to start. Builderii’s Free plan has every feature and 200 AI jobs a month per person, for up to 2 boards with up to 50 components on each. Pro takes those limits off for $10 a month billed yearly, or $12 month to month.
Can I use Builderii in a Teams meeting?
Yes: share your screen with the board, or post the board’s link in the meeting chat. There’s no Teams app integration.
Can I bring my Microsoft Whiteboard boards?
There’s no import. Export a board as an image and drop it on a Builderii board, or give the AI bar a picture of a diagram to rebuild it as an editable flowchart.
Do people need an account?
To draw and edit, a free account, with Google or an email address. To watch, none: anyone with a board’s share link can view it and see edits live, as a named guest with their own cursor.
