Where to Start with the Tools

Springboards has 12 tools we call boards. Each one is designed to support a different stage of the strategy, creative, or media process.

It might seem like a lot at first. But don’t stress. The platform is intuitive, and you only need to start with one or two boards to start getting gold.

Curious to go deeper? Our full collection of board guides is ready when you are.

Not sure where to begin? Many new users find these boards the easiest way to get a feel for how Springboards works:

  • Insight Digger – Find unexpected angles and juicy insights
  • The Validator – Stress test your thinking with stats and sentiment
  • Creative Brief – Move from insight to direction without the blank page freeze

And while they’re not part of the 12 boards, these two tools are great companions:

  • Brand Profile – Define your brand’s voice, role and vibe so every board stays aligned
  • Riffbot – Your AI sparring partner for riffing, refining, and unsticking ideas

Pro Tips for the Road

  • Use the toggle in the top left to switch between Focus Mode (for heads-down solo work) and Canvas Mode (for collaborating with your team).
