Mixboard: A New Way to Visualize Your Ideas from Google Labs
Google Labs has unveiled Mixboard, an experimental AI-powered concepting board designed to help you explore, expand, and refine your ideas visually. Whether you’re brainstorming home décor, planning an event theme, designing a product, or imagining your next DIY project, Mixboard makes the process more interactive and creative with the help of generative AI.
What is Mixboard?
Mixboard is an open canvas that blends text and images, powered by AI. It allows you to bring your ideas to life through mood boards, concept visuals, and contextual text.
You can start fresh with a simple text prompt, or choose from pre-populated boards. From there, you can upload your own images, or let AI generate new ones for you.
