If you work in a product team, you’ve likely faced this challenge: How can we move faster from idea to product? How can we test and align on concepts before work gets locked into roadmaps or design queues?
Too often, early-stage ideas get stuck in static documents or buried in conversations. Designers are stretched thin, and non-designers often don’t have the tools or confidence to bring concepts to life. That slows innovation, creates misalignment, and leads to rework down the line.
At Miro, we believe prototyping shouldn’t wait for handoff — it should start with the idea.
Meet Miro Prototyping (beta)
Miro Prototyping (beta) brings the speed of sketching, the clarity of interactivity, and the power of collaboration into a single, shared space. With AI-powered flows and drag-and-drop components, anyone on the team can turn rough ideas into interactive prototypes — right inside your Miro board. Perfect for early exploration, quick feedback, and collaborative iteration.
No design files needed. No momentum lost.
Miro Prototyping (beta) isn’t about replacing your design tools — it’s about democratizing the ability to visualize and test ideas early, so teams can:
- Product managers: Test ideas fast — without waiting in the design queue. Build interactive mockups from scratch or screenshots, get real feedback, and iterate early.
- Designers: Stay focused on high-impact work. Let teammates explore early concepts independently — so by the time they reach you, they’re more concrete and aligned. Or explore multiple approaches and concepts yourself in no time.
- Developers: Understand user flows sooner. See how things should work before you build, leading to better estimates and smoother handoffs.
Iterate without barriers
Working on an existing product? You shouldn’t need design files or a designer’s time to suggest small improvements. You can now test and share changes in minutes without access to original design files, showing changes rather than describing them.
- Start from what you have: Upload a screenshot, place interactive elements on top, and show changes visually.
- Apply real-world inspiration: Use Import Style from Image to pull colors and styles from any reference — and instantly see your product in a new light.
- Explore one screen at a time: Use the Canvas as your AI prompt to suggest alternatives for key moments — whether it’s a flow tweak or a visual refresh.
Zero to one concepts — fast
When you’re starting from scratch, speed matters. You can now turn written ideas into interactive concepts — instantly, so you can create new product concepts with just the right fidelity to communicate vision while remaining flexible enough to evolve.
- Start from your ideas: Select your sticky notes from a brainstorm, a PRD, or describe your idea in a prompt to generate a multi-screen prototype in minutes — ready for discussion or feedback.
- Iterate with AI: Try different layouts, tweak content, and explore variations with Create with AI 2.0.
- Fine tune from there: Edit screens with an intuitive drag-and-drop UI library and add any extra steps as your idea becomes clearer.
Build together in workshops
Early ideas are better when shaped by the team and easier to understand alongside the context that shaped them. It’s now easier to build prototypes together — directly from workshops or design sprints. Now diverse team members can contribute meaningfully during productive sessions or sprints to create aligned, actionable concepts.
- Turn ideas into action: Drop in sticky notes, images, or notes from the session and instantly start prototyping with the team — no setup needed.
- Leave the meeting aligned: End with a shared prototype, not a long to-do list. Everyone sees where things are going — and why.
Start prototyping where ideas begin
Whether you’re leading a sprint, proposing a new feature, or running a discovery session, Miro Prototyping (beta) helps you bridge the gap between conversation and creation.
- Validate concepts faster: Get feedback on interactive experiences already in the early discovery phase
- Reduce design bottlenecks: Enable anyone to create and iterate on early-stage concepts
- Improve team alignment: Build shared understanding before committing to development
- Expanded ideation: Generate more ideas to curate and validate earlier in process
- Make better decisions: Test and refine ideas based on concrete interactions, not abstract descriptions
Your ideas are ready to move. Now they can.
Miro Prototyping is free during beta for users on Free, Starter, Business, and Education plans. Enterprise company admins can request early access here.
