Our take
Pick Napkin if operators and educators who already have the words and need a diagram, not a photo. Pick tldraw AI if react developers who want an agent on a whiteboard and will paste their own API key. Skip Napkin if people who want a prompt-to-image studio (getimg.ai) or a full slide deck generator (Gamma). Skip tldraw AI if people who want a hosted chat seat (ChatGPT) or a repo Agent (Cursor).
