Mural AI

Mural AI is a set of AI-powered features built directly into Mural, the visual collaboration platform teams use for brainstorming, workshops, and planning. Instead of leaving your canvas to use a separate AI tool, Mural AI works where your team already works. It can generate mind maps from your ideas, automatically group sticky notes by topic, summarize the content of a mural, classify stickies by sentiment, and even hold a conversation with you about your project. The goal is simple: cut the busywork so teams can spend more time thinking and deciding, not sorting and summarizing.

What makes Mural AI stand out is how it fits into the flow of a live collaboration session. The mind map feature helps you explore ideas on the fly, turning scattered thoughts into a structured map you can build on. Clustering lets you rearrange sticky notes by new criteria in an instant, which is handy when a workshop takes an unexpected turn. The sentiment classification reads the emotional tone of stickies, so facilitators can quickly gauge how the room is feeling. And the conversational mode goes further, generating ideas, questions, hypotheses, and opportunity statements as if you had a thinking partner in the session. Mural also emphasizes responsible AI development, with a dedicated page on safety and regulations and a white paper on its guiding principles.

Mural AI is best for teams that already use Mural for workshops, design sprints, retrospectives, or strategic planning. Facilitators, product managers, and innovation teams will get the most value, especially when they need to synthesize large amounts of input quickly. It also pairs well with Microsoft 365 Copilot, letting you find murals, summarize canvases, and speed up workflows inside the Microsoft ecosystem. If your team lives in Mural, this is a natural upgrade that removes some of the most tedious parts of collaboration.
