In under a year, Napkin AI has drawn over five million users by radically simplifying how people communicate complex ideas. Founded by Pramod Sharma and Jerome Scholler, the tool transforms raw text and data into editable, design-forward visuals—flow charts, infographics, and diagrams—with no design experience required.
What sets Napkin apart isn’t just its functionality, but its philosophy. Rooted in the belief that creativity thrives through play, the platform offers an interface that’s intentionally intuitive and delightfully frictionless. “If they don’t intuitively get it, they won’t play,” says Sharma, echoing Napkin’s commitment to accessible design.
Napkin is designed with a global audience in mind. Sixty percent of its users are non-English speakers, with growing adoption in South Korea, Japan and beyond. This multilingual fluency makes it a rare productivity tool: one that prioritises inclusivity, clarity, and creative empowerment over corporate convention.
In an era where communication often overwhelms rather than connects, Napkin offers a new visual language—one built for speed, collaboration, and storytelling. Its rise marks a shift in how design and technology can work together to level the playing field and inspire new forms of expression across borders.
