Thanks so much for this thoughtful question and for highlighting both the value and friction you’re seeing. Miro AI is designed to speed up the “messy middle” of brainstorming on big boards — generating ideas from prompts, expanding rough thoughts into sticky notes, automatically clustering related stickies into themes, and quickly summarizing large walls of input so teams can move faster to decisions and next steps. We see many teams using these AI capabilities right alongside Jira, Slack, and other integrations on the same canvas, so they can ideate, triage, and turn ideas into work items without leaving the board. To keep large, active boards both organized and performant while using AI, we recommend a few practices that our product is optimized for: working within clearly labeled frames for each topic or workshop segment, keeping very heavy assets (large PDFs, ultra high-res images, dense pen drawings) to a minimum, and splitting truly huge initiatives into several linked boards (for example: “Brainstorm,” “Prioritization,” “Roadmap”) rather than one “everything” board. This structure makes it easier to navigate with the board map and search, and it helps panning/zooming stay smooth even as you add AI-generated content. You’re also right that the richness of the AI feature set and templates can feel like a lot at first. Core Miro AI capabilities are available across all plans, and we’re continuing to simplify entry points (for example through intelligent templates) and to expand the library so it’s easier to start with the right pattern instead of a blank board. In parallel, we’re actively investing in performance improvements for large boards — recent updates have already made panning and zooming significantly faster on big canvases, with more optimization work in progress. Feedback like yours is exactly what guides those investments, so thank you for raising it. If you’re open to it, we’d love to learn more about your specific brainstorming setup so we can share tailored best practices and feed it into our roadmap.
