The team behind the popular 3D design app Rooms from Things, Inc., which includes ex-Googlers, has launched a new project called Mixup. This AI photo editor, available exclusively on iOS, allows users to create new AI-generated photos using unique “recipes.” These recipes are fill-in-the-blank prompts that can transform photos, texts, or sketches into something entirely new and creative.
With Mixup, users can easily transform a sketch into a Renaissance painting, turn their pet into a Halloween costume, or even see themselves with a different hairstyle. The app is powered by Google’s Nano Banana technology, but the unique “recipe” format adds a playful and interactive element to the AI editing experience.
According to Things, Inc. CEO Jason Toff, Mixup aims to address the limitations of current AI tools by providing users with creative prompts that inspire new ideas. The app allows users to share their AI-generated images and recipes with others, creating a collaborative and engaging community.
Mixup aims to make generative AI more accessible and fun for users, allowing them to create unique and imaginative images without the need for advanced technical skills. By leveraging user-generated recipes and shareable content, Mixup transforms AI editing into a social and creative experience.
Users can create, share, and discover new AI images on Mixup, making the editing process more engaging and collaborative. With features like before-and-after image comparisons and user-generated “mixables,” Mixup aims to revolutionize the way users interact with generative AI technology.
By incorporating user-generated content and social features, Mixup aims to democratize AI editing and make it more accessible to a wider audience. The app’s unique approach to AI technology sets it apart from traditional editing tools, offering users a new way to interact with generative AI.
