Official site link, not an affiliate link. We do not have an approved referral link for Miro.
Miro helps you capture meetings and notes by starting with an online whiteboard where teams and AI brainstorm, map processes, run workshops and plan projects. It is best for teams, consultants and educators who plan, diagram and run workshops together. People also use it to make documents and slides. A free plan is available.
What it does
- Infinite canvas with 7,000+ templates
- Docs, Tables, Timelines, Kanban and Slides on the board
- AI for diagrams, tables and summaries on monthly credits
- Timer, voting and private mode for workshops
- MCP connection for Claude, Cursor and Copilot, plus 250+ integrations
Editorial note
Miro is an online whiteboard, which it now calls the Intelligent Canvas. Teams brainstorm with sticky notes, map processes and diagrams, run workshops with timers and voting, and turn results into Docs, Tables, Slides and Kanban boards. AI generates diagrams and summaries, and MCP connects boards to tools like Claude and Cursor.
Who it’s for
- Product and design teams mapping ideas and user journeys
- Consultants and facilitators running workshops
- Remote teams planning projects visually
- Not ideal for: people who need pixel-precise interface design; a design tool fits better.
Key use cases
- Meetings & notes
- Slides & docs
What you can do with it
Miro gives teams an infinite shared canvas. You start from one of 7,000+ templates or a blank board, add notes, shapes and diagrams, and collaborate live or async. Structured formats such as Docs, Tables, Timelines, Kanban and Slides sit on the canvas. AI features generate diagrams, tables and summaries, and MCP lets AI tools read and write board content. Miro reports 250+ integrations including Microsoft, Slack, Google and Adobe.
