Google has entered the world of digital creativity with a new release: Google launches an AI-powered mood board app, Mixboard. This innovative tool allows anyone to generate mood boards using AI, making it easier than ever to visualize ideas without needing a massive image collection.

Unlike Pinterest, where mood boards rely on saved Pins, Mixboard uses text prompts to generate fresh, AI-driven designs. Users can start from scratch or explore pre-made boards to kickstart their creative flow.
How Mixboard Works
Mixboard lives inside Google Labs as a public beta in the U.S. Once inside, you can type a prompt and watch as AI instantly builds a visual mood board.
The app isn’t just about static images—it’s powered by Google’s new image editing model, Nano Banana. With it, you can:
-
Edit generated visuals in real time
-
Combine different images seamlessly
-
Make small tweaks for a polished final look
This means creators, designers, and casual users can skip the hours of scrolling through images and jump straight to inspiration.
Competing With Pinterest
The timing is no accident. Pinterest recently expanded its collage feature, letting users create boards with Pins, screenshots, and uploads. Google’s Mixboard takes this concept further by removing the need for pre-saved content.
Instead of curating, you’re generating. That’s a big shift—and one that could attract users who want speed, flexibility, and endless creative options.
Why Mixboard Matters
Google has been doubling down on AI-powered creativity tools since the success of its Gemini AI app, which briefly overtook ChatGPT on the App Store. By adding Mixboard, Google is positioning itself at the intersection of AI, design, and everyday creativity.
With demand for AI-assisted design growing, Mixboard gives casual users, marketers, and professionals alike a powerful alternative to Pinterest—and a taste of what AI-generated inspiration could look like in the future.
