"Google's latest AI project ventures into Pinterest's territory, as the company announced the launch of Mixboard, software that enables anyone to create AI-powered mood boards. The service competes with Pinterest's collage feature, where users create mood boards using their favorite Pins and other images. With Mixboard, however, there's no need to have an established image collection to pull ideas from. Instead, users can start their own project using text prompts to have AI fill in the ideas."
"After you create images using AI, you can then ask the AI to make edits and other small changes, or even combine images. This leverages Google's new image editing model, Nano Banana, which has been enthusiastically received for its ability to handle more complex edits and make realistic images. Following its launch, Google's Gemini AI app pushed ChatGPT out of the top spot on the U.S. App Store."
Mixboard is a Google service that enables anyone to create AI-powered mood boards using text prompts or editable pre-populated boards. The service is available as a public beta in the U.S. via Google Labs. Users can generate images, request edits, combine images, and regenerate boards using Google's Nano Banana image editing model. Nano Banana is noted for handling complex edits and producing realistic images. Mixboard positions itself for brainstorming home decor, event themes, DIY projects, and other creative uses with both images and text. The move follows Gen Z interest in digital collages and parallels similar tools from Pinterest, Depop, and other startups.
