Acceleration Drift: Why your people are faster and your company isn't

Ask anyone on your team how AI is going and you will hear some version of the same sentence: “What used to take me a week now takes an hour.” It is the kind of thing that makes a leader feel the bet is paying off. The work really is faster, and the proof shows up every month on the token bill. People are not imagining the speed. A recent METR study of experienced developers found they believed AI had made them about twenty percent faster. Anecdotally, I see people moving much faster.

One theme came up consistently at #Canvas2026: AI needs shared context.

Agentic tools can help us move faster, but speed alone doesn't solve the challenge of working together. As teams adopt AI, the question becomes: where do humans, ideas, decisions, and agents come together? The future of work isn't human or AI. It's humans and AI working from the same context. In this episode of How We Work, Miro's Joe McLean explores what happens when everyone can build, prototype, and ship faster than ever before. When execution is no longer the bottleneck, collaboration becomes the advantage.

Canvas 26: How AI Is Reshaping the Role of Design

Miro's Head of Design for AI hosts a fireside chat with three design leaders — Cat Drew (Chief Design Officer, UK Design Council), Anna (Head of Product Design & Research, Kingfisher), and Peekay Alpundrick (Experience Design Director, VML / WPP) — on what AI is really doing to design teams. They cover the speed trap nobody talks about, the "tyranny of text" pulling teams away from visual thinking, why collaboration has to become more intentional, and whether the double diamond is still fit for purpose. They close with bold predictions — including tokens becoming the new currency of design work, and a stark warning.
