Google is launching a new AI concepting tool that lets you create moodboards to explore design ideas. The Mixboard Google Labs experiment gives users an open canvas to create projects from pre-populated board templates or text prompts using Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash model. The experimental tool is available through public beta in the US. The format is visually similar to platforms like FigJam or Adobe's Firefly Boards, so this isn't a unique concept, but it's interesting to see Google developing more design-based apps.
“Google Labs has introduced Opal, an experimental no-code tool that enables users to create AI-powered mini-applications through natural language descriptions and a visual workflow editor.”
