What our research says

AI Toolbox for innovators

Free, no account, and each tool maps onto a framework the consultancy actually bills for, so output is more structured than a blank chat prompt. The trade-off is depth: these are one-shot form-to-document generators with no project memory, no export pipeline and no way to iterate on a result.

Pros

  • Seven separate framework tools, each on its own route with its own form
  • No sign-up, no card and no visible usage cap on the tools we opened
  • Outputs follow named consulting frameworks rather than free-form text
  • Runs entirely in the browser with nothing to install

Cons

  • No accounts, so nothing survives between visits
  • Single-page app with no server-rendered content, so pages are invisible to search and link previews
  • No stated support, roadmap or uptime commitment

Miro AI

The reason Miro AI beats a bolted-on chat box is context: the canvas is the prompt, so clustering, summarising and drafting land back on the board where the team already works. The cost model is the catch — AI credits are small on every tier and reset monthly, so real use pushes you upward. If your team is not already in Miro, none of this justifies a switch.

Pros

  • Uses existing board content as context, not a blank prompt
  • Prebuilt Playbooks for planning, prototyping and research
  • 250+ integrations plus a developer platform and MCP server
  • Free tier still includes 10 AI credits a month

Cons

  • AI credits are tightly capped: 25 per member on the $8 tier
  • Enterprise requires a 30-member minimum
  • Only worth paying for if the team is already on Miro

Choose Miro AI if you need

  • teams that already run workshops in Miro
