Edithly + Miro + Excalidraw: AI-Powered Visual Collaboration for Teams

Direct answer: Connect Edithly to Miro or Excalidraw to bring your whiteboard and diagram content into AI-powered analysis — ask questions, generate summaries, and build on your visual collaboration with AI intelligence.

Whiteboards Are Rich Data — Most Tools Ignore Them

Your Miro board from last month's product strategy workshop contains more insight than the slide deck that came out of it. Sticky notes capture raw ideas. Clusters reveal priorities. Diagrams show the thinking, not just the conclusions.

The problem: Miro is a visual tool, not an analysis tool. You can't ask your Miro board a question. You can't generate a summary of what was decided. You can't convert the output of a workshop into a structured document.

Edithly bridges this gap.

Miro Integration: What's Possible

Connect Your Workspace

  1. Go to Integrations in Edithly
  2. Select Miro and authenticate via OAuth
  3. Select the Miro workspace and boards to connect
  4. Board content becomes available in Edithly

Import Board Content

Select any connected Miro board. Edithly imports the text content — sticky notes, labels, framework text, shape labels — as a structured document.

Ask Questions About Your Board

"What were the main themes identified in the workshop?" "What action items were captured on the board?" "Summarise the customer journey map we built."

Edithly analyses the board content and provides structured answers.

Generate Visuals from Board Content

From imported Miro content, generate:

  • Summary — a plain-language write-up of the workshop outcomes
  • Mind map — reorganised view of the board's ideas
  • Action items list — extracted decisions and next steps
  • Presentation — turn workshop outcomes into a stakeholder briefing

Excalidraw Integration: Diagrams as Context

Excalidraw is the diagramming tool of choice for many engineering and product teams. System architecture diagrams, flow charts, wireframes, and process maps are built in Excalidraw — but they're rarely integrated with the documents they explain.

With Edithly's Excalidraw integration:

  1. Attach an Excalidraw file to an Edithly chat or repository
  2. Edithly reads the diagram as supplementary context
  3. Ask questions that reference both the diagram and any uploaded documents
  4. The AI understands the visual structure and answers accordingly

This is especially powerful for:

  • Technical documentation — attach system architecture diagrams alongside technical specs
  • Process documentation — attach workflow diagrams alongside process documents
  • Product design — attach wireframes alongside PRDs for AI-assisted review

Workshop to Report: A Complete Workflow

Here's a common workflow for strategy and design teams:

Day 1: Workshop Run a product strategy workshop in Miro. Teams add sticky notes, vote, create frameworks, map customer journeys.

Day 2: Analysis with Edithly

  1. Connect the Miro board to Edithly
  2. Import board content
  3. Ask Edithly: "What are the top 5 themes from yesterday's workshop?"
  4. Ask: "What decisions were made about the product direction?"
  5. Generate a presentation from the workshop output — stakeholder-ready in 2 minutes

Day 3: Share Share the Edithly presentation link with leadership. Share the mind map with the product team. Everyone is aligned from a 2-hour workshop that previously produced a 3-week write-up process.

Use Cases by Team Type

UX Research Teams

Import affinity diagrams from Miro. Generate insights summaries. Ask questions about user patterns identified in research sessions.

Product Strategy Teams

Import strategy canvases, opportunity solution trees, and roadmap boards. Generate executive summaries, risk analyses, and presentation drafts.

Engineering Teams

Attach system architecture Excalidraw diagrams to technical specification repositories in Edithly. AI-assisted code reviews and documentation generation gain visual context.

Consultants and Facilitators

Convert workshop Miro boards into professional client reports using Edithly's visual generation. What used to take 2 days to write up now takes 30 minutes.

Start the Integration

Connect Miro or Excalidraw to Edithly in under 2 minutes. Available on Pro and above.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Miro integration in Edithly work?

Connect your Miro workspace to Edithly. You can then import content from Miro boards — sticky notes, diagrams, frameworks — into Edithly for AI analysis, Q&A, and visual generation. This bridges your collaborative whiteboarding with AI-powered document intelligence.

What can I do with Excalidraw in Edithly?

Attach Excalidraw whiteboard content to Edithly chats and repositories. Edithly reads your diagrams and sketches as context, allowing you to ask questions about your Excalidraw content or use it as a reference when generating AI visuals.

Can Edithly push content back to Miro?

Currently, Edithly reads from Miro and Excalidraw. Generated Edithly visuals can be shared via link and embedded in Miro boards using Miro's link embed feature. Direct write-back integration is on the roadmap.

Who benefits most from the Miro + Edithly integration?

Design teams, product teams, UX researchers, strategy consultants, and anyone who uses Miro for workshops or collaborative planning. The integration allows you to analyse workshop outputs, generate insights from board content, and bridge visual collaboration with document AI.
