Miro
A collaborative whiteboard for team workshops: sticky notes, journey maps, affinity diagrams, impact and effort matrices. Its AI clusters workshop contributions automatically, summarises themes and suggests directions from the research laid out on the board. Every AI call spends credits, reset monthly with no rollover. An MCP server opens boards to an assistant like Claude, with a daily call cap that depends on the plan. AI features rely on Anthropic and OpenAI, listed as subprocessors.
