Google Labs has launched Mixboard, an AI-powered concept board tool for creative ideation, now in public beta in the US. Starting from templates or text prompts, users can quickly build mood boards and sketch ideas in an open canvas, combining their own images with generated content. The tool is suitable for scenarios such as home decorating, event planning, and product conception.
Mixboard is powered by the Gemini series and the latest image generation capabilities. It allows users to adjust, regenerate, and stylize board elements using natural language, and can also generate similar visuals based on uploaded images. The official blog and product page have both launched portals. Media reports describe its interactive nature as similar to FigJam/Firefly Boards, but with a greater emphasis on AI-driven visual exploration.
