MixboardAI is opinionated on purpose: you describe a vibe, and we do the heavy lifting of generation and layout. This tutorial gets you from cold start to finished mood board in about 30 seconds.
What you'll do
- Sign in and pick a plan. There's no free tier — pick Starter ($19.9/mo), Pro ($39.9/mo), or Team ($69.9/mo). Checkout is one page.
- Type a prompt. No model selection, no image counts. Just words.
- Let Mixboard lay it out. The AI generates six to twelve images and arranges them into the Frame. The Frame is your "final artifact" — what sits outside it is a scratch area for experiments.
- Edit as you go. Click any image to swap it, refine it with natural language, or move it to the scratch area. Multi-select for batch edits ("make all of these black and white").
- Export. PNG and PDF export instantly, using the Frame as the final artifact.
Why this flow
Most canvas tools hand you a blank rectangle and expect creativity on command. MixboardAI inverts that: we start with content generated from your idea, and let you refine — so the blank-page tax is zero.
