Google\u2019s latest AI project ventures into Pinterest\u2019s territory, as the company announced the launch of Mixboard, software that enables anyone to create AI-powered mood boards. <\/p>\n

The service competes with Pinterest\u2019s collage feature<\/a>, where users create mood boards using their favorite Pins and other images.<\/p>\n

With Mixboard, however, there\u2019s 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. (Pre-populated boards you can edit are also available if you need a little help in the creativity department.) <\/p>\n

The service is initially available as a public beta in the U.S. via Google Labs.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s new image editing model, Nano Banana, which has been enthusiastically received for its ability to handle more complex edits and make realistic images. <\/p>\n

Following its launch, Google\u2019s Gemini AI app pushed ChatGPT out of the top spot on the U.S. App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Mixboard, Google is catering to user demand for Nano Banana by incorporating it in its own product, which it suggests could be used to brainstorm ideas involving home decor and design, event themes, DIY projects, and more, with both images and text. <\/p>\n

Younger users have shown some interest in making digital mood boards. <\/p>\n

Pinterest found viral success<\/a> with a standalone collage-making app, Shuffles<\/a>, which Gen Z users used to make creative TikTok videos. The app\u2019s features were later integrated<\/a> into Pinterest itself. Other startups have also explored this space, like Landing<\/a> (now shuttered), the AI-powered creative app Verse<\/a> (which seems to have inspired Mixboard), and more. Depop today also launched a collage-making tool<\/a> to help its users to style and sell their fashion collections.<\/p>\n

Mixboard\u2019s mood boards can also be reimagined, Google says, using options that let you \u201cregenerate\u201d the images to get more ideas, or to ask the AI to generate \u201cmore like this.\u201d Plus, the AI can generate text based on the images on users\u2019 boards.<\/p>\n

To try Mixboard, U.S. users can visit\u00a0labs.google\/mixboard<\/a>\u00a0to get started. A\u00a0Discord<\/a>\u00a0community is also available. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google\u2019s latest AI project ventures into Pinterest\u2019s territory, as the company announced the launch of Mixboard, software that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74],"tags":[291,1307,18,823,19,17,10237,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-82877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-apps","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-google","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-nano-banana","15":"tag-technology"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
