miro is the whiteboard for workshops. silt is the canvas where ai-native teams decide.
miro is the incumbent online whiteboard, and it is genuinely good at it: infinite board, sticky notes, hundreds of templates, big workshops, diagrams, and enterprise scale. if your job is facilitating a session or mapping a system with a room full of people, miro is built for that.
silt is a narrower, sharper thing: a canvas for ai-native teams to think, decide, and ship. instead of sticky notes for humans to arrange, silt’s canvas is where humans and ai agents build on the same context, pulled live from slack, linear, and notion, with a reasoning trail from canvas to ide. it is less a whiteboard and more a shared brain your agents can act on.

| feature | silt | miro |
|---|---|---|
| core idea | a decision canvas for humans and agents | a whiteboard for people |
| ai | agents read, reason, and build on canvas context | ai add-ons on top of a whiteboard |
| context from your tools | slack, linear, notion, attio feed the canvas | integrations mostly import or embed content |
| decision trail | decisions and reasoning captured as records | not a first-class concept |
| canvas to ide | mcp bridge: agents read what the team decided | no ide handoff |
| templates + facilitation | lean, focused on thinking with ai | deep, mature, hundreds of templates |
| best for | ai-native product teams | workshops, diagramming, enterprise whiteboarding |

questions
is silt a miro alternative?
for ai-native teams, yes. miro is a general whiteboard; silt is a canvas built around ai agents, live context from your tools, and a decision trail. if you want agents doing work on the board, not just people arranging stickies, silt is the closer fit.
can silt do workshops like miro?
miro is deeper for facilitation and templates. silt is focused on thinking and deciding with ai, so it is lighter on workshop tooling and heavier on agents, integrations, and decision capture.
does silt have integrations like miro?
silt connects slack, linear, notion, attio and more as plugins that feed context to the canvas and its agents, rather than mainly embedding or importing content onto a board.
verdict
if the deliverable is the board, a diagram, a workshop, a wall of stickies, miro is the mature choice.
if the deliverable is a decision, made by a team and its agents on shared context and shipped from your ide, that is what silt is built for.
