Google’s recently released AI mood board app, Mixboard, just got a massive upgrade, and it now lets users turn their chaotic idea dumps into polished presentations. Powered by Google’s Nano Banana Pro model, the new feature automatically transforms the content on the main board into a structured, visually appealing presentation.

According to Google, the new capability “combines the context from your board and your input— including format, presentation focus and your preferred visual style — to build beautifully designed presentations.” Users get to pick between two formats, specify what they want to convey with the presentation, and select from a couple of different visual styles to customize the final output. The feature then takes a few minutes to generate the presentation, which users can either download, share, or present right within Mixboard.

Mixboard just got a major tune up!

Today, we’re introducing a bundle of updates (with a ribbon on top 🎁) to help you keep exploring your ideas:

Along with this new feature, Google has expanded the types of content users can upload to Mixboard. The mood board app now includes a new selfie camera that lets users quickly add a photo of themselves, and it has also gained support for PDF, HEIC, and TIFF file types. Additionally, users can now doodle directly on images in the main board to make edits and even mark up presentations to make quick changes.

Mixboard has also received support for multiple boards per project, which allows users to have different boards for different categories or themes. This can be particularly beneficial for complex projects, as it allows users to separate research, references, and final designs into different boards to reduce clutter, while keeping everything linked under the same project.

The new Mixboard features and changes are already live, and users can try them out by heading over to the Mixboard website. The app has a few sample boards to get you started and get a feel for the new features.

AI chatbots can often feed into your delusions. Researchers say you should look for three signs
Experts warn that chatbot design choices can reinforce unhealthy beliefs in vulnerable users.

Artificial intelligence chatbots have become incredibly good at sounding human. But a new review paper by psychiatrist Marc Augustin and fellow researchers Thomas A. Pollak and Helen Morrin, published in NPP—Digital Psychiatry and Neuroscience, argues that existing AI research points to an overlooked psychological risk. The paper, highlighted by The Wall Street Journal, reviews previous studies and proposes a framework explaining how three common chatbot behaviors can combine to reinforce delusional thinking in vulnerable users, creating what the authors call an "amplification spiral."

Researchers say these are the three warning signs

For the past few weeks, Anthropic's Mythos has been viewed as the gold standard for AI-powered cybersecurity. That lead may already be shrinking. According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, security researchers say Chinese AI startup Z.ai's GLM-5.2 can now match Mythos when it comes to finding software security vulnerabilities, even if it still trails Anthropic and OpenAI in broader reasoning tasks.
