bakermind vs Miro
Miro is a large online whiteboard for teams. bakermind is a small, focused diagram board that an AI agent can draw on.
Press Play. Watch it run.
bakermind's Run motion plays a diagram step by step. Miro is a different kind of tool, so this is where bakermind goes its own way.
This is the animated SVG the app exports. Free plans get a motion demo. Full motion and animated exports are planned for Pro and above. Nothing is on sale yet.

| Scope | Four boards: flowchart, mind map, sequence diagram and whiteboard. | A wide workspace for workshops, planning and whiteboarding. |
| AI agents | Remote MCP server: an agent such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex can create and edit boards. | We have not verified what agent access Miro offers today. Check their site. |

Coming from Miro
bakermind imports the item JSON from the Miro REST API (sticky notes, shapes, text, cards, frames and connectors): board menu, then Import. Miro has no downloadable file with editable objects, and its PDF and image exports are flat, so use the API list rather than a PDF.
