New to Miro AI? The fastest wins come from features that work right on the canvas, where your team already collaborates. Below are five easy tips you can try today—no advanced setup required.

Tip 1: Start with AI-accelerated templates and Blueprints

Kick off in minutes using templates that now ship with Sidekicks and Flows built in. These AI-accelerated templates jump-start common boards (e.g., brainstorming, planning), so you don’t have to wire up AI steps from scratch. If you have AI Canvas access, you’ll see automation and guidance available as soon as you open a compatible template.

Try this: open a relevant template, run the suggested AI steps, and compare before/after time to first outcome.

Tip 2: Use Sticky Notes AI to cluster, summarise, and clean up

When a brainstorm ends, the real work begins. Select your stickies and use Miro AI → Cluster to group by keywords or sentiment. Then run Miro AI → Document → Summary to turn messy ideas into a digestible brief—all without leaving the board. It’s perfect for retro themes, research notes, or ideation round-ups.

Bonus: If you’ve photographed physical stickies, use Sticky Capture to convert them into editable notes before clustering.

Tip 3: Turn stickies into Docs (and more) with Create with AI

Stop copy-pasting into external tools. With Create with AI, select a group of stickies and generate a Doc (e.g., a meeting summary or prototype outline) in one step. You can also cluster by sentiment or keyword from the same context menu—great for moving from raw ideas to shareable artefacts in minutes.

Try this: After ideation, convert the top clusters into a single summary Doc and share for review directly on the board.

Tip 4: Follow prompting basics for clearer outputs

Better prompts produce better outputs. Miro’s official prompting guide recommends being explicit about context, audience, format, and constraints. When working with any Miro AI feature, add a sentence that states the goal, the input selection, and the desired output structure (bullet list, table, or Doc).

Starter pattern: “Summarise the selected stickies for a product review meeting. Audience: engineering managers. Output: a Doc with three sections—Themes, Risks, Decisions—each with 3–5 bullets.”

Tip 5: Ask AI for quick insights from your work

Use Ask AI to query your backlog, feedback, or board content in natural language—handy when you need fast prioritisation signals or pattern spotting. Keep your source data tidy for best results, then use Ask AI to surface trends and candidate priorities in seconds.

Extra: Explore AI templates in Miroverse

If you prefer starting from community examples, browse AI & Transformation templates in Miroverse for boards that already encode AI-friendly structure. They’re ideal for workshops, strategy, and discovery activities.

Quick Setup Checklist (first week)

  1. Pick one AI-accelerated template and run its guided steps.

  2. Run a short brainstorm and use Cluster + Summary on the stickies.

  3. Convert the output into a Doc with Create with AI and share it.

  4. Apply the prompting guide to refine your next AI action.

  5. Try Ask AI on a backlog or research board to find quick wins.
