Miro Flows are visual, on-canvas AI workflows that connect steps like synthesis, screen generation and prioritisation. Sidekicks add context-aware assistance—summaries, next steps and content tweaks—so teams create clickable prototypes faster and keep collaboration in one place.

Why this matters now

Prototyping often stalls on handoffs and manual clean-up. Flows keep work on the canvas—passing structured output between steps—while Sidekicks analyse board content to suggest next actions, validate details, or generate copy, so teams stay in momentum.

Key points

• Enhanced collaboration: Multi-step Flows live where the team already works, so everyone can see, run, and adjust them on the board.

• Efficiency boost: Chain steps (e.g., synth notes → create screens → prioritise) to automate repetitive prototyping tasks.

• On-canvas guidance: Sidekicks provide context-aware help—summaries, next steps, content tweaks—based on what’s on your board.

• From ideas to clicks: Pair Flows/Sidekicks with Miro Prototypes to generate and link screens into clickable flows for feedback.

How it works

• Flows (Beta): Build AI workflows by chaining “Formats”; each step uses canvas context and passes structured output to the next (e.g., sprint planning, writing briefs, customer-data insights). Available on Free, Starter, Business, and Enterprise plans during Beta.

• Sidekicks (Beta): AI agents that act like teammates—ideal for open-ended or exploratory work. Available on major plans; browser/desktop to start.

• AI Workflows: Miro is weaving AI into every interaction, bringing Flows + Sidekicks together in an AI-first workspace.

Practical steps

1. Research ➜ insights (Flow): Select sticky notes/screenshots from discovery, run a Flow to cluster, label themes, and output a prioritised Table and brief in a Doc.

2. Ideation ➜ first screens (Sidekick + Prototypes): Ask a Sidekick to draft screen outlines from themes on the board, then use Miro Prototypes to generate initial screens and connect hotspots.

3. Storyboard ➜ clickable prototype (Flow): Use a Flow to move top ideas into a storyboard Doc, then auto-create a clickable multi-screen flow for stakeholder review.

4. Review ➜ iteration (Sidekick): Summarise feedback on the board, ask Sidekick for proposed fixes, and apply changes directly to components and copy.

FAQs

What are Miro Flows?
Flows are multi-step AI workflows you run on a board. Each step uses canvas context and passes structured output to the next.

How do Sidekicks assist in prototyping?
Sidekicks act as AI teammates—they read your board to suggest next steps, validate details and refine content in real time.

Can Flows be used for team projects?
Yes. Flows are designed for shared boards so teams can co-create, run, and edit workflows together without leaving Miro.

How do I get clickable prototypes?
Use Miro Prototypes (paid add-on) to generate screens from canvas context and connect them into interactive user flows for feedback.

Summary

Miro’s Flows and Sidekicks turn prototyping into a streamlined, on-canvas loop—from research to clickable prototypes—while keeping teams aligned and moving fast. If you want help designing Flows for your sprint or discovery process, talk to Generation Digital.
