Miro launches Intelligent Canvas to improve team collaboration
Miro reveals the Intelligent Canvas, aiming to improve the way teams innovate and bring products to market.
Miro, a popular visual workspace for innovation and product teams, has launched the Intelligent Canvas. Miro's new intelligent canvas integrates AI-powered features that enhance collaboration by offering real-time suggestions, automated task management, and smart content organization. For users, it presents a streamlined interface with intuitive tools that adapt to their workflow, making it visually engaging and easy to navigate.
The Intelligent Canvas offers a new approach for Miro’s more than 70 million users and 230,000 organizations, enabling them to manage the entire innovation lifecycle from discovery to delivery.
Miro is an online collaborative whiteboard platform designed to help teams work together visually. It offers a variety of tools that allow marketers to brainstorm, plan, and execute their campaigns more efficiently. By enabling real-time collaboration, Miro helps marketers map out their strategies, organize ideas, and create visual presentations that can be easily shared and edited by team members regardless of their location.
Jeff Chow, Miro's CPTO, explains, "True innovation requires cross-functional teams to focus on solving hard, complex problems. Innovation often stalls due to the manual work needed across various apps and tools. Miro’s Intelligent Canvas supports business processes beyond brainstorming, combining AI, composable workflows, and an intuitive, interactive experience to enhance team productivity. Our canvas is a central place for critical decisions, speeding up the market introduction of new products and services."
Sandrine Veillet, WebMD's VP of global product, adds, "The ability to easily translate insights and decisions from our discovery activities to delivery tasks directly in Miro will help us increase our speed by breaking down silos between Miro and other tools and keeping us aligned on sprint priorities."
Miro’s Intelligent Canvas offers several unique advantages:
- AI Integration:
- AI sidekicks: AI-powered agents like the Product Leader, Agile Coach, and Product Marketer offer domain expertise and diverse perspectives.
- Create with AI: AI in the core toolbar helps create docs, user stories, and diagrams based on the work on the canvas.
- AI shortcuts: Easily move from unstructured to structured work with AI prompts for product briefs, user stories, and more.
- Enhanced User Experience:
- Diagramming mode: Adapts to tasks with only necessary tools for advanced diagrams and deep work.
- Spaces: Collaborative home for teamwork, organizing Miro boards and third-party documents into accessible team spaces and projects.
- Composable Workflows:
- Intelligent widgets: Interactive components like dot voting, polling, people, estimates, and counters to connect and speed up workflows.
- Intelligent templates: AI, interactivity, and integrations in templates for sprint planning, roadmapping, retrospectives, product planning, and more.
"The heart of Miro has always been an infinite canvas," says Chow. "We’re excited to introduce Miro’s Intelligent Canvas, fundamentally changing how teams discover, design, and deliver at scale."
Miro, a popular online collaboration tool, faces competition from several other platforms. Trello offers a simple, card-based system for project management, incorporating AI to automate repetitive tasks and provide smart suggestions. Asana provides a structured approach to tracking projects and workflows, using AI to enhance project insights and predictive analytics for better decision-making.
Lastly, Microsoft Teams integrates with Office 365, offering communication and collaboration tools within a familiar ecosystem, while leveraging AI to provide real-time language translation, meeting transcripts, and intelligent meeting recaps. Each of these competitors presents unique features that can suit different team dynamics and project requirements.
