Miro Prototypes allows product teams to create and iterate on interactive prototypes faster with Miro AI.
Build a new product with Miro Prototypes
Ideating on concepts
The first step in any prototyping process is to come up with a basic concept for your product. Miro’s Canvas is a perfect place to work collaboratively with your team to drop ideas, discuss pros and cons of each, and decide on a direction.
You can then use Miro Docs to organize your ideas into a product design brief on the same board. This design brief (along with any other elements on the board, such as stickies, user flows, diagrams, or even screenshots of your current product or hand drawn sketches) can then be used as context for prompting Miro Prototypes AI.
The first prototype
Once you have your design brief and other contextual information on your board, it’s time to open Miro Prototypes and get started creating your first prototype.
You can use the entire board for context, or select specific objects. You can also include further details in the prompt itself—like the specific screens the prototype output should include or exclude.
Once you’ve finished your prompt and added the necessary context from the board, Miro AI will create the first version of your prototype. You’ll then be able to review each screen and use AI to make changes or further iterate. You can also add styles from images during this stage. When you’re happy with the results, commit them to the board.
Reviewing and editing prototypes
Use tools like Talktracks, Video calls, and Comments to communicate with your team and other stakeholders about changes that need to be made in the next iteration.
You can use the Prototype library and other objects to make manual edits within your prototypes once they’ve been committed to the board after being generated with AI. It’s also a good idea at this point to add contextual notes and comments.
Iterating on your first prototype
You can use the first prototype as part of the context for iterations on your next version. You can also use transcriptions from Video calls, Sticky notes, and other objects from your review process to further refine the design.
You can continue to iterate on your prototypes in this way as many times as needed to achieve the results needed to move beyond the prototyping stage.
Iterate on an existing product with Miro Prototypes
Your team can use screenshots of existing product designs as context on the board. When combined with other context, such as design briefs, you can create incremental changes within your prototypes using Miro AI.
Best practices for Miro Prototypes
- Detailed prompts provide better results. The more detailed your prompt, the closer the generated prototype will be to what you want. You can get as granular as providing specific hex codes for the colors of different elements.
- Add relevant context from the board. It can be tempting to include the entire board as context, but selecting specific objects can provide better results.
- Detail what needs to be included on each screen. You can specify the output on a screen-by-screen basis, either in the prompt or in the design brief Doc.
- Use Miro AI to edit screens before committing them to the board. It’s rare to get a perfect result with your initial prompt, but you can use AI to further iterate on each screen.
- Use collaboration tools effectively. Video calls, Talktracks, comments, and sticky notes to collaborate synchronously or asynchronously with your team.
- Build prototypes in a design workshop. Use Video calls within a board to run a prototyping workshop with your team. Start at any point in the process and work synchronously with your team for more aligned results.
