Prism and Miro
Prism or Miro?
Miro gives your team a shared board for any kind of thinking, from workshops to diagrams. Prism gives one idea a canvas of its own, branches it along directions you name, and takes the best versions to real people.

Every card keeps the path it grew from
Where the two part ways.
- 1
The canvas grows from one idea
Your team drags a card in a direction like cheaper or for a new audience, and Prism writes the versions that lie that way. Each card keeps its parent and direction, so you can trace how any version came about.
- 2
The groups name themselves
Cluster the canvas, and Prism groups the cards and names each group, so the shape of the idea is visible without anyone sorting sticky notes.
- 3
Any card can be researched
Prism plans the questions, reads the sources, and keeps only findings whose words are on the page it cites.
- 4
The next step is asking people
Turn a card into a survey or AI interview, share the link, and read themes with the answers behind them. The study links back to the card it started from.

Napkin sketches sync live as your team draws, and guests can join from a share link. Napkin also makes docs, decks and tables in the same workspace.
When Prism is the right choice
- You want to see many versions of one idea before choosing.
- You want each version checked against real sources.
- You want to put the best versions in front of real people.
- You want the result kept next to the decision it informed.
