Miro adds a mandatory Ask AI text box with no option to dismiss or hide it, consuming valuable screen real estate for users who do not want AI features. Forced AI feature injection without user control creates friction for non-AI workflows. Users should have the ability to opt out of AI UI elements they do not use.
