Miro® is launching the Innovation Workspace, an AI-powered platform that offers a flexible solution for teams to move from idea to outcome more quickly.
Miro’s Innovation Workspace fills a critical need: an end-to-end solution that facilitates the entire innovation process, from discovery (brainstorming and research) to definition (roadmapping and prototyping) to delivery (execution).
The Innovation Workspace is the company’s most significant product launch since 2012.
While other productivity applications prioritise a document-first or task-first approach, Miro remains committed to a canvas-first approach.
The canvas is unique because it’s an inclusive and collaborative environment that supports seamless transitions between unstructured work (like ideation) and structured work (like diagramming, documentation, task tracking, and prototyping).
It can also support multiple media formats – from text to image, to video to audio – and any file type, including those from the most popular productivity suites.
According to Miro co-founder and CEO Andrey Khusid, a common challenge among most organisations is that work happens across too many tools, there are gaps in communication which leads to many unnecessary loops, and there’s a significant lag time in decision making.
“These are all friction points in collaboration that, ultimately, stunt a team’s innovation potential and velocity,” said Khusid,.
“The Innovation Workspace is the first platform designed specifically to help teams rapidly navigate the twists and turns between the phases of the process, and embrace creativity as a necessary and valuable part of innovation.” he said.
“Over the past 13 years, we’ve innovated and led the market, from introducing a digital whiteboard solution, to establishing the visual collaboration category, and now – the Innovation Workspace,” said Jeff Chow, Miro CPTO
“Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our core belief that the canvas is king. That’s because the canvas gives teams an infinite, flexible space to innovate without constraints,” Chow said.
“A canvas-first approach connects teams and their work in all formats, including messaging, task tracking, documentation, virtual meetings, and data retrieval,”
“It’s a space to easily move from a set of ideas to a tangible output. Miro is where work gets done, instead of just focusing on the progress of work.” he said.
Miro customer Red Hat has been partnering with the company since 2020. It’s groundbreaking new AI capabilities will boost productivity and accelerate the transformation of ideas into actionable outcomes throughout our process from discovery to delivery.
“With the Innovation Workspace features, we’ll be able to reveal new opportunities and build more engaging experiences, plus up-level interactions with our clients and teams across multiple organisations,” said Jan Mark Holzer, Senior Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat.
The Innovation Workspace redefines the innovation process by guiding teams to:
- Support transitions from unstructured work to more structured formats, helping teams move seamlessly and iteratively between the phases of discovery, definition, and delivery.
- Accelerate the transitions, integrating into a teams’ workflows so that the time to turn ideas into tangible outcomes is reduced.
New features for composable workflows help create deep workflow-driven experiences on the canvas, include
- Canvas SDK
- Customisable widgets
- AI Action shortcuts
Security remains a top priority in Miro’s Innovation Workspace. Customers can rely on Miro’s industry best practices to secure innovation content on the canvas, and may enhance it even further with Miro Enterprise Guard, which automatically identifies, classifies, and protects sensitive and confidential content in Miro.
The Innovation Workspace now includes built-in data discovery, Jira and code blocks data discovery, customer keyword discovery and IP detection, and OCR data discovery.
