Flows enable you to chain Formats on the canvas to build AI-powered workflows. Each Format acts as input for the next, turning complex, multi-step processes, like sprint planning, writing briefs, or leveraging customer data, into automated Flows.
To learn which Formats support Flows, see Supported Formats.
This article explains how to use Flows. For general information about Flows, see Flows overview.
💡 Get readymade Flows templates in the Template picker.
Create a Flow
The following procedure uses basic Flows UX elements. To ensure you can start creating Flows faster, see Flows UX elements.
Follow these steps:
- Add a supported Format or Instruction Block to the canvas.
- (Optional) To use content as input for the Format you just created, connect any existing Format or Instruction Block on the canvas to your new Format.
- Above the Format, click the three-dots (...) to open the More menu. Then select Start a flow.
A prompt box appears above your Format. -
In the prompt box, describe what you want to generate. For example, in a Doc you can generate a Product Requirements Document (PRD). You can generate from scratch, or use output from another Format or Instruction Block you have connected.
💡 The prompt box enables you to select a large-language model (LLM), knowledge provider, or web search. In the top-right, click the default model to open the models menu.
- (Optional) To create a new input, on the left click the diamond Miro AI connector.
The Create new input menu opens. - (Optional) To create new output, on the right click the diamond AI connector.
The Create new output menu opens. - To complete your Flow, repeat steps 1-6 for as many Formats or Instruction Blocks as your result requires.
Use Knowledge with Flows
Knowledge integrates with providers like Glean, web search, and Miro Insights, to retrieve everything your company knows, using internal and external sources.
You can convert data from your own knowledge resources into Formats like Docs, Tables, Sticky notes, and Slides. Then connect each Format to use your data as input or output a Flow.
More information: See Knowledge.
Flows UX elements
Understanding the following Flows UX elements will help you start creating Flows faster.
Miro AI connector
Supported Formats and Instruction Blocks have a diamond Miro AI connector on the left that enables you to connect input, and on the right which connects output.
Click the Miro AI connector on either side to open the Create new input or Create new output menus.
Click the Miro AI connector to open the input and output menus.
💡 You can also drag the Miro AI connector to existing content.
On-Format prompt
You can specify a prompt for each Format in your Flow, which ensures that each Format in the chain can perform a specialized Flow task.
The on-Format prompt box appears above each Format you add to your Flow.
AI Instruction Block
You can select a large-language model (LLM), or any available knowledge provider, to run a prompt in a standalone block, anywhere in your Flow.
Instruction Blocks enable you to chain instructions, accept input, and pass output to the next Format.
For a given Format, click the diamond Miro AI connector. From the input or output menu, select Instruction Block.
💡 To select a knowledge provider, like Miro Insights, Glean, or Web search, in the top-right, click the default provider. The Knowledge menu opens.
