My Quick Love Note to Miro
If your team still bounces between Notion, Figma, Slack threads and endless Zoom—stop. Miro in 2026 is the one infinite canvas where ideas actually turn into action fast. Miro AI (Flows, Sidekicks) automates the boring parts, templates kickstart everything, and collab feels magical. Free tier is generous; paid unlocks serious power. My remote team cut planning time in half—highly addictive.
The Day Miro Stole My Heart (True Story)
Picture this: Last sprint planning was chaos—sticky notes in Miro, but then we jumped to Figma for wireframes, Notion for PRD, Jira for tasks. Everyone frustrated. Then we went all-in on Miro AI workflows. One board. Ideas → clustered notes → auto mind map → generated PRD doc → prototype sketches. Mind. Blown. We've been living there since.
This review is from real daily use in 2026: product brainstorms, retros, user journey maps, async updates. Tested free vs paid, AI credits in action, and how it plays with our Jira/Slack setup. Spoiler: it's become our command center.

The Features That Make Me Go "Whoa"
My Daily Favorites
- Miro AI Workflows (Flows & Sidekicks): Build custom AI agents—auto-generate PRDs, cluster feedback, create prototypes from prompts. Sidekicks act like expert teammates.
- Infinite Canvas + Smart Tools: Drag-drop anything; AI clusters stickies, summarizes, generates mind maps/tables/docs.
- 6,000+ Templates & Formats: Jumpstart with AI-powered ones—retros, user journeys, sprint plans, PRDs.
- Integrations Galore: 250+ (Jira two-way sync, Slack, Zoom, Google)—no more tab hell.
- Interactive Meetings: Timer, voting, private mode, Talktracks (video walkthroughs), estimation poker.
- Enterprise Extras: SSO, SCIM, data residency, AI governance controls.
Real Talk: Speed, Smarts & Surprises
In practice, Miro AI nails 80-90% of repetitive stuff—clustering messy notes is scarily good, Flows save literal days on deliverables. Canvas performance is buttery even with 100+ objects. AI credits refresh monthly (10-100 depending on plan); we rarely hit limits on Business. Surprises: async video Talktracks changed our remote game—no more missed context.
