Overview

  • Mixboard is live for U.S. users through Google Labs, with a Discord community set up to gather beta feedback.
  • Users can start from prompts or templates, upload images, generate new visuals, and make natural-language edits including combine, regenerate, and “more like this,” with optional text generated from board context.
  • Intended uses include brainstorming for home decor, event themes, DIY projects, and early product concepts.
  • The tool runs on Gemini 2.5 Flash and Google’s Nano Banana image model, which supports complex, realistic edits and quick variations.
  • Coverage compares Mixboard to Pinterest-style collages and canvases like FigJam and Adobe Firefly Boards, with some questioning collaboration features and why Google did not evolve Jamboard instead.
