AI Innovation Workspace Miro Announces New Features to Bridge the Gap Between AI and Organizations

※This document is a summarized translation of a press release announced by the US headquarters on May 19, 2026 (US time).

Miro®, the AI innovation workspace (Headquarters: California, USA; Japan subsidiary: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Executive President: Yasutaka Mukaiyama), has announced new innovations in its AI platform. This further strengthens its position as a collaboration foundation where people, context, and agents converge, supporting the resolution of complex challenges, advanced decision-making, and faster, more appropriate product development.

In this announcement, Miro revealed significant upgrades to its agentic AI tools, such as Sidekicks and Flows, along with new Connectors. These will bridge the gap between individual AI productivity improvements and organizational transformation that companies currently face.

Although AI is radically changing the pace of work, many companies are often unable to reap its benefits. In many organizations, there is a gap between what individuals can achieve with AI and what the company can leverage as a whole. The reason for this is fragmented collaboration. Teams are transitioning from a single traditional work mode to three modes: "human-to-human," "human-to-agent," and "agent-to-agent," but these operate in mutually invisible silos. Within these silos, AI amplifies misalignments rather than correcting them, and the gap only becomes apparent at the stage when various tasks are integrated.

To bridge this gap, Miro has set a clear vision that teams need a shared space to collaborate based on agent outputs and drive work forward. While continuing to invest in human-to-human collaboration—trust, judgment, and shared understanding—which is the foundation of outstanding results, all collaboration modes will be integrated onto a single screen: the Miro canvas.

Miro's CEO and Founder, Andrey Khusid, stated: "Currently, productivity gains from AI are isolated within private chat windows; while individual work accelerates, it does not spread across the entire organization. Therefore, if all forms of collaboration are fused into a single canvas, individual speed becomes company speed, and individual insights turn into a shared organizational understanding. A collection of 10x talent previously looking in different directions will be reborn as a 10x company moving in the same direction. To maintain competitiveness, every organization needs to make this shift. We aim to realize this."

Wayne Kurtzman, Research Vice President of Collaboration & Communities at IDC, said: "AI unleashes greater power by supporting and enhancing teamwork. Leaders must proactively adopt tools and technologies that increase team creativity, agility, and innovation. As work evolves to become more agent-driven, the ability of AI to seamlessly connect to operations alongside teams will become essential in tackling larger challenges."

Matt Cloke, CTO of Endava, remarked: "Accelerating work with AI in a siloed environment only creates a sense of speed without direction, and this is exactly the problem. What I realized through Miro is the importance of aggregating context on a canvas where anyone can view and build upon it. Context is often thought of as static elements like documents and images, but any element, such as sticky notes, tables, workflows, and even pop-up interactions, can serve as visual context. Having this context visible to everyone and interconnected—that is the key to unlocking the power of AI. The true value lies in how this can be analyzed and connected to other AI elements."

The main updates to the Miro AI platform announced today are as follows:

Teams and AI Agents Collaborate on the Canvas

While agents are becoming a core element of work execution, conventional agents have been unable to participate in the shared canvas where teams think, plan, and coordinate. As a result, agents remained operating outside of business processes and were not incorporated into the actual workflow. With this update, Miro's canvas...
