One Canvas, Zero Tab Switching: Miro

While I was browsing through the vast internet in search of brainstorming workspaces, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Miro - a discovery that changed my every research session onwards.

Miro is an infinite canvas workspace designed for real time collaboration on researching, planning, and execution, by intricately combining tools such as diagrams, docs, timelines, whiteboards, etc. in one place. The workflow support it provides allows me to utilise multiple functions without having to use different tools such as google docs and google sheets, smoothening the flow of the process when researching.

Unlike other tools, Miro includes hundreds and thousands of pre-built templates and frameworks, allowing people to start projects at faster speeds. For team projects, Miro works with than 250 apps like Slack, Zoom Microsoft Teams, Jira and Asana, allowing connection directly to tasks, problems and messages, alongside with an AI chat bot to help create diagrams, group sticky notes to summarize information and offer ideas to make starting and understanding faster.

Regarding the price, Miro has a free plan that allows up to 3 editable boards and unlimited viewers, with access to many templates and the ability to try AI features. The paid subscription starts at 8HKD a month. It grants access to unlimited templates, private boards, blueprints, customisable fonts and more tokens for the AI feature.

People should use Miro when they want a space that would be easy to edit and works for both creative thinking and clear steps, making it extra convenient for teams that work in different places. It also makes the meeting’s communication easier each time and keeps ideas, plans and tasks all in one place. This makes working clearer and easier to do again and focused on results.
