Miro
Miro is a collaborative online whiteboard whose AI turns brainstorms, diagrams and workshops into plans, using board content as context.
About this tool
Miro is a shared online canvas where teams run brainstorms, workshops, design sprints, diagrams and planning sessions. Because so much of a team’s thinking already lives on its boards, Miro positions that content as context for AI: sticky notes, frames and diagrams become material the AI can build on.
Miro AI can help structure a challenge, ask clarifying questions and produce a plan. Sidekicks are AI helpers that know how to use Miro’s formats, such as timelines, kanbans and diagrams, while Flows chain steps together to turn collaboration into outputs. AI playbooks cover use cases such as turning planning workshops into objectives and dashboards.
