Google has launched Mixboard, an AI Moodboard Builder powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash model. It will be available in public beta for US users, allowing you to upload prompts, images, and improve your design in natural language to generate and edit boards.
Google has announced Mixboard, an experimental, AI-powered tool designed to allow users to create mood boards and explore design ideas. The Mixboard, launched under Google Labs, is powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash model and is currently available in the US public beta. The platform acts as an open canvas for creativity, allowing users to start with pre-populated templates or generate projects from simple text prompts.
How does a mixboard work for users?
Mixboard allows users to:
- Start a new project using a text prompt or a ready-made template.
- Upload your personal images or use AI to generate visuals.
- Edit the board using natural language commands, such as combining images, creating adjustments, or playing new versions.
- For quick redesign, use one-click options such as “play” and “like this”.
- Generate context text from any image on the board for additional creative input.
With prompts like “Show me cups, bowls and plates in Memphis style” or “Plan a fall party in my living room”, users can easily build mood boards for home decor, event planning, DIY projects, or creative brainstorming sessions.
Mixboards and other creative platforms
The concept of visual mood boards is not new, but platforms like Figjam and Adobe Firefly Boards already exist. Google's generative AI and design integration makes the mixboard stand out. It acts as a hybrid of Pinterest-style inspiration boards and AI-driven image generation tools, providing users with a more interactive and customizable experience.
Early Access and Community
Mixboard is currently available as a public beta in the US via Lab.Google/Mixboard. Google also invited users to join the Discord Community to share their feedback and keep them up to date with future lab experiments.
