Summary
Miro AI Assist adds generative tools directly onto your board so you can turn text prompts into sticky notes, diagrams, summaries, and structured layouts without switching apps. It speeds up early brainstorming and organizing work, letting teams move from a blank canvas to a workable draft in minutes.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open your board and find AI Assist
Open the board you want to work on, or start fresh by following the steps to create a board. Look for the AI Assist icon (a sparkle symbol) in the left-side toolbar or the floating toolbar that appears when you select an object.
Step 2
Choose an AI action
Click the AI Assist icon to open a menu of actions, including generating sticky notes from a topic, creating diagrams, summarizing clusters of notes, or building a mind map outline. Pick the action that matches what you're trying to produce on the board.
Step 3
Write a clear prompt
In the prompt field, describe your goal in plain language — for example, 'brainstorm onboarding pain points' or 'turn these notes into a flowchart.' The more specific your prompt, the more usable the generated output will be.
Step 4
Generate and review the output
Click Generate and wait a few seconds for AI Assist to populate the board with stickies, shapes, or text. Review each item for accuracy, since AI-generated content is a starting draft, not a final answer.
Step 5
Edit and rearrange elements
Drag stickies or shapes into logical groups, delete anything irrelevant, and rewrite text as needed. If the output looks like a good fit for a structured diagram, you can convert it further using the steps in how to create a flowchart.
Step 6
Organize results into frames
Select related AI-generated items and group them into a frame so they're easy to present or move as a unit. This also makes it simpler to reuse the output later in a presentation or retrospective session.
Step 7
Share the board with your team
Once you're happy with the AI-assisted layout, share the board so others can react, comment, or build on it. Follow the process in share a board to send a link or invite specific collaborators.
Why this matters
You're staring at an empty board with a tight deadline and no time to hand-draw a diagram or type out dozens of stickies. Using AI Assist lets you generate a starting structure instantly, so your team can jump straight into refining ideas together instead of building from scratch.
Frequently asked questions
Is Miro AI Assist available on the free plan?
Miro offers a limited number of AI Assist actions on free accounts each month. Once you reach the limit, you can continue working manually or upgrade for expanded usage.
Can I undo an AI-generated change?
Yes. Use the standard undo shortcut (Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z) right after generating content to remove it, or manually delete individual items you don't want to keep.
Does AI Assist work well for team brainstorming?
Yes, it's especially useful for kicking off group sessions since it can instantly populate stickies or a mind map that collaborators can then edit together in real time.
Can I use AI Assist output as a template for future boards?
Yes. Once you've refined an AI-generated layout, save the board as a template so your team can reuse the structure for similar projects later.
