Miro Platform Guide

What is Miro?

Miro is the visual collaboration platform for every team. With an infinite canvas, 100M+ users across 250K+ organizations use Miro for brainstorming, planning, design, and cross-functional collaboration.

In 2025, Miro became the "AI Innovation Workspace" - an AI-first platform where teams work together with AI on one shared canvas.

Platform Capabilities

• Infinite Canvas - Unlimited workspace that scales from quick sketches to enterprise documentation
• Real-time Collaboration - Cursor tracking, video chat, comments, voting, timers
• 300+ Templates - Pre-built frameworks for common workflows
• 160+ Integrations - Connects to Jira, Figma, Slack, Teams, and more

What's on a Miro Board?

Miro boards contain diverse content types for different purposes:

Type	Purpose
Sticky Notes	Quick brainstorming, idea capture
Cards	Structured work items with metadata
Frames	Containers to organize sections
Shapes	Flowchart symbols, UML, AWS/Azure icons
Tables	Structured data, matrices
Documents	Long-form rich text content
Wireframes	UI mockups and prototypes
Mind Maps	Hierarchical brainstorming

See Content Types for detailed descriptions and business value.

Miro AI

Miro is an AI-first platform with several AI capabilities:

• Flows - Visual AI workflows that automate multi-step processes
• Sidekicks - Conversational AI agents with task expertise
• AI Diagram Generation - Create diagrams from natural language
• Model Selection - Enterprise customers choose from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini

See AI Capabilities for details.

Design-to-Code with Miro

Miro Specs converts team context (user stories, wireframes, architecture) into technical specifications that AI coding tools can consume:

• Capture PRDs, wireframes, and technical diagrams
• Send specs to GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Lovable
• External AI agents read board context via MCP integration

See Design-to-Code for workflows.

Enterprise Use Cases

Common patterns for enterprise Miro adoption:

1. Design Handoff - Wireframes to code via AI tools
2. Sprint Planning - Visual planning with Jira/Linear sync
3. Architecture Documentation - Living technical diagrams
4. Workshop Facilitation - Remote workshops on canvas
5. Knowledge Base - Visual and written documentation hub

See Enterprise Use Cases for implementation patterns.

MCP Tools

For Miro MCP tool documentation (how to read/write to boards programmatically), see the miro plugin's skill (miro-mcp) which is installed separately. The MCP tools enable:

• Creating diagrams, documents, and tables
• Reading board content and extracting documentation
• Syncing external data to Miro tables
• Browsing and filtering board items
