Google has launched Mixboard, an AI-powered mood board app that competes with Pinterest's collage feature. Available as a public beta in the U.S. via Google Labs, Mixboard allows users to create mood boards using text prompts and AI-generated images, leveraging Google's new image editing model, Nano Banana.
Mixboard caters to user demand for Nano Banana by incorporating it in its own product, which it suggests could be used to brainstorm ideas involving home decor and design, event themes, DIY projects, and more, with both images and text. Users can edit images, combine them, and regenerate images to get more ideas. The AI can also generate text based on the images on users’ boards.
Mixboard can be accessed at labs.google/mixboard, with a Discord community available for users. The app is similar to other collage-making tools, such as Pinterest's Shuffles, Landing, and Verse.
