Miro's Innovative AI Platform Enhancements
Miro focuses on unlocking AI potential by unveiling a series of enhancements to its AI platform at the Canvas 26 event. This event took place on 19th May in San Francisco, aiming to bridge the divide between individual AI productivity and broader organisational transformation.
Key upgrades to Miro’s AI tools include the introduction of Sidekicks and Flows. New Connectors now integrate with existing tools like Slack, Atlassian, and GitHub. These enhancements are designed to unify various collaboration modes on one platform, known as ‘the canvas’.
“AI leverage is locked inside private chat windows, accelerating individuals, but never reaching the organisation,” said Andrey Khusid, CEO and Founder of Miro. “When every collaboration mode converges on one surface, individual speed becomes company speed.”
Agentic AI Tools and New Connectors
Miro’s updates include making its canvas AI-readable and writable by third-party agents. Expanded formats such as Mermaid diagrams, Markdown, and HTML widgets are now supported. The new Connectors facilitate seamless integration with popular tools, ensuring that decisions and insights are retained and actionable across platforms.
“AI is more powerful when it supports and augments teamwork,” commented Wayne Kurtzman, Research Vice President at IDC. “Leaders must seek out tools that enhance their teams’ creativity and innovation.”
The Canvas 26 event highlighted Miro’s commitment to fostering AI-powered collaboration. It featured speakers like Tomer Cohen and Joe Dunleavy. Miro’s platform is currently used by over 100 million people worldwide, aiming to transform how teams plan and execute projects.
AI is reshaping the pace of work. However, many teams are not realizing the benefits. In numerous organisations, a gap has emerged between individual capabilities and what companies can harness. Collaboration has fractured into three modes: human to human, human to agent, and agent to agent. These operate in silos, often invisible to each other, leading to misalignment.
Miro envisions bridging this gap by providing a shared space for teams to collaborate around agentic output and advance work collectively. This includes investing in human-to-human collaboration, which remains the foundation of effective teamwork.
“Accelerating work with AI in a silo creates speed without direction – and that’s a problem,” said Matt Cloke, CTO at Endava. “Miro emphasises the importance of keeping context on the canvas, where everyone can see and build on it.”
