Claude Whiteboards vs Miro and FigJam
Keep your Miro or FigJam license. That is the answer for almost every team today, and Anthropic's own launch post more or less says so.
Why we are that blunt
Anthropic's announcement says a Claude Whiteboard can be moved into Miro, Lucid or Vani by Zoho when you want to keep working on it. You do not build an export to a competitor into day one unless you expect people to keep using that competitor.
Claude Whiteboards is a day old and in beta. Miro and FigJam have years of templates, facilitation tools and integrations behind them. Comparing feature counts would be silly.
The one thing Claude's board does differently
The AI is a participant with context. It can see the conversation that led to the board, your connected work apps and, in a Google Meet call on Team or Enterprise, what people are saying. It groups notes, drafts owners and dates, and then turns the board into a doc or deck in the same place.
Miro and FigJam both have AI features of their own. The difference is direction: they add AI to a canvas, and Anthropic adds a canvas to an AI that already knows what you were working on.
How we would split the work
| Situation | Use |
|---|---|
| A quick brainstorm that started in a Claude conversation | Claude Whiteboards |
| A retro where the output is a list of owners and dates | Claude Whiteboards, then a doc |
| A workshop with voting, timers and breakout frames | Miro or FigJam |
| Design critique next to Figma files | FigJam |
| A board the company will keep for a year | Miro, Lucid or FigJam, possibly started in Claude and moved |
A caveat on FigJam
Anthropic names Lucid, Miro and Vani as destinations. FigJam is not on that list. If your team is on FigJam, assume the handoff is a doc or an image for now, not a native board.
Cost
Whiteboards comes with any paid Claude plan, so trying it costs nothing extra if you already pay for Claude. That is a good reason to run your next retro in it. It is not yet a reason to cancel anything.
