Miro is one of the platforms that I think has been really creative about how it’s incorporating AI. I created a dependency mapping on a Miro board to help think through a new software system. The idea was to visualize direct and indirect dependencies, and refine the connections between them.
The AI features helped summarize and cluster the information, making it easier to understand and work with. I’m also impressed with Miro AI’s ability to auto-generate images from text. This has a lot of value for software and product teams that need to do dynamic brainstorming and idea development.
