SAN FRANCISCO - Tuesday, 19. May 2026
At
Canvas 26, Miro establishes its AI platform as the connective layer of
the modern AI ecosystem — bringing together teams, agents, and the tools
they already work in to turn individual AI productivity into
organization-wide transformation
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Miro®, the AI
Innovation Workspace for teams, has announced new innovations across
its AI platform, reinforcing its position as the collaboration layer
where people, context, and agents from every function converge to solve
hard problems, make better decisions, and build the right thing faster.
Major upgrades to Miro’s agentic AI tools — including Sidekicks and
Flows — alongside new Connectors, help customers close the gap between
individual AI productivity and organization-wide transformation.
AI
is reshaping the pace of work, but often teams are not realising the
benefits. In many organizations, a gap has emerged between what
individuals can now do and what companies can harness. The reason?
Collaboration has fractured. Teams have moved from one mode of working
to three — human to human, human to agent, and agent to agent — but
these are running in silos, invisible to each other. Within those silos,
AI amplifies misalignment rather than correcting it, and the gaps only
show up when the work comes together.
Miro's vision to bridge
this gap is clear: Organizations need a shared space for teams to
collaborate around agentic output and move work forward. Miro is
unifying all collaboration modes on one surface — the canvas. That
includes continuing to invest in the human-to-human collaboration that
remains the foundation of great work, because trust, judgment, and
shared understanding between people are what drive real progress and
breakthrough innovation.
"AI leverage is locked inside private
chat windows — accelerating individuals, but never reaching the
organization,” said Andrey Khusid, CEO and Founder at Miro. “When every
collaboration mode converges on one surface, individual speed becomes
company speed, and individual clarity becomes shared clarity. A
collection of 10x people pulling in different directions transforms to
become a 10x company pulling in the same direction. Every organization
will need to make that shift to stay competitive. That's the outcome
we're building toward."
“AI is more powerful when it supports and
augments teamwork,” said Wayne Kurtzman, Research Vice President,
Collaboration and Communities, at IDC. “Leaders must seek out the tools
and technologies that enhance their teams’ creativity, agility, and
innovation. As work becomes more agentic, AI’s ability to connect to
work, alongside teams, becomes critical to tackling bigger challenges.”
“Accelerating
work with AI in a silo creates speed without direction - and that's a
problem,” said Matt Cloke, at CTO Endava. “What Miro brought to life for
me was the importance of keeping context on the canvas, where everyone
can see and build on it. People think about context as static things —
documents, images — but everything can be visual context: a sticky note,
a table, a workflow, even a pop-up interaction. Having that context
accessible and connected is what makes AI powerful. How you parse it
through and onwards to other elements of AI — that's where the real
value is.”
Key updates to the Miro AI platform announced today include:
Teams can work with agents on the canvas
Agents
are becoming a core part of how work gets done, but they've had no way
to participate in the shared canvas where teams think, plan, and align.
That leaves them working around a process rather than inside it. Miro's
canvas is now AI-readable and writeable by third-party agents, with:
Expanded MCP support spanning tool and board creation, frames, comments, shapes, and code blocks.
New
agent-friendly formats: Mermaid diagrams, Markdown, and HTML widgets so
agents can contribute to the canvas in a language they speak natively.
Connectors
link Miro's Sidekicks and Flows to the tools teams already use, with
Connectors for Slack, Atlassian, Granola, GitHub, and more.
Most
decisions are made in Miro. Now they travel further. Connectors read
from and write back to the systems where work executes — no lost
context, no recreated effort, no broken chain from insight to action.
Miro
as a native connector within ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot, so
that work happening between individuals and AI tools can surface on a
shared canvas where the whole team can see, react, and build on it
together.
Sidekicks evolves from AI assistant into agentic thought partner
Most
AI tools are reactive. They respond to a prompt, return an answer, and
stop. That works fine for simple tasks — but the complex, ambiguous,
evolving work that actually slows teams down doesn't fit neatly into a
single instruction. Sidekicks is evolving into a truly agentic thought
partner: one that understands what you're trying to achieve and knows
how to solve it.
Tackle complex work: Describe your goal in your
own words. Sidekicks now understand intent, break ambiguous problems
into solvable steps, and ask intelligent clarifying questions.
Canvas
generation: Sidekicks and Flows can now generate full board content
from a single prompt, including documents, diagrams, Kanbans, sticky
notes, and frames, so teams arrive at a meaningful collaborative
starting point in minutes instead of hours.
Context and Memory:
Miro builds a persistent understanding of how you work, what you're
focused on, and what's already in motion — pulling in the right context
automatically and picking up where you left off.
Voice: Interact
with Sidekicks in two-way voice chat. Speak naturally, change direction,
and let ideas flow without crafting the perfect prompt.
Flows can connect systems for repeatable work
Every
team has recurring work — standups, sprint reviews, kickoffs — but no
shared place to run it. Instead, someone manually pulls data, updates
tools, and chases approvals every single time.
Flows now extend
beyond the canvas through Connectors, enabling automated workflows that
call tools both inside Miro and across connected systems, including
pulling in meeting transcripts, creating tasks in project trackers, and
surfacing the latest Kanban views, combined with human-in-the-loop
approval steps, make Flows the shared infrastructure for how teams run
their repeatable work together.
Achieve better alignment and build the right thing with Miro Prototypes
The
gap between an idea and something the whole team can react to is where
projects go wrong — decisions made too late, with too much already built
to change course. Updates to Miro Prototypes turn the context a team
already has into real options everyone can react to, and align in the
right direction.
Code to Prototype: Miro Prototypes now pulls
context from Claude Code and other tools directly onto the canvas, so
existing work becomes the starting point for team alignment and
decisions.
Evolve design: Evolve existing product designs into
fully connected, editable multi-screen flows by importing screenshots or
Figma files and iterating with AI - all without starting from scratch.
Style
prototypes: Instantly apply a brand's look and feel to AI-generated
prototypes by extracting a theme from a URL or selecting from Brand
Center, so designs are on-brand from the very first generation.
Variants: Generate multiple prototype variants at once so your team can compare directions and make more informed decisions.
Seamless
handoff: Export your finalized prototype directly to your coding agent
or Figma, preserving all context for a seamless handoff from idea to
build.
