One simple prompt can make AI images come alive in Facebook Messenger and Instagram
Meta AI has one of the easiest ways of generating AI images I've tried, superior even to Gemini's Imagen 3 and ChatGPT's DALL-E 3 on their free tiers, because there are very few restrictions on how many images you can create, or what type of images. On their free tiers, Google's Gemini image creation won't let you create images of people at all, and ChatGPT's DALL-E 3 limits you to just a few images a day. In contrast, Meta AI will let you create images of people without a problem (just not famous people), and I've tried hard to hit a daily limit, but haven't managed it yet. You can get to Meta AI in a variety of ways. There's the website meta.ai, which is great if you're on a laptop, but the easiest way is via Meta's suite of social apps - Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Meta AI should be available outside Europe, but the UK launch, for instance, is still rolling out. Meta AI supposedly launched in the UK two weeks ago; however most UK people I've talked to say it's still not available in Meta's apps yet, but that should change any day now. You'll know when you've got it because you'll see a Meta AI logo in your app's menu bar. Using AI in an app like Messenger might feel unintuitive at first, but when you think about it, it makes perfect sense, since Meta AI is essentially a chatbot, exactly like ChatGPT is. Messenger is therefore the perfect app in which to use a chatbot, since you use it to chat with people already. To launch Meta AI all you need to do is tap the icon that's next to Chats in the bottom menu bar, and you'll initiate a conversation with the Meta AI chatbot. Just like ChatGPT you can ask it to help you with anything from ideas for Christmas presents for your family to planning a vacation. You can also invite Meta AI into your group conversations by tapping the @ symbol and then tapping on Meta AI. You can then ask it a question, and everybody in the group chat will see the answer. One thing Meta AI is very good at is creating images. Just type, "Imagine", and then type whatever you want to see in the Meta AI chat. As we mentioned there's no restriction on creating images of people, so prompts like "Imagine an athletic person running in the rain and winning a race" produces an image, like this: Sure, it's got that slightly fake 'AI' look to it, and the paid-for versions of ChatGPT and Gemini produce much more realistic images, but it's quick and convenient to use on a smartphone. What's more, you can then go on and refine it, and Meta AI will know what you're talking about, so just type "not raining", and you'll get another image, of the running person, but not in the rain, like this: As you can see there's less rain. I wouldn't say there was no rain, so results aren't always perfect, but you can take it further. If you then type "animate it" you get a great four-second animated version of the same picture. It's even easier to animate images on the meta.ai website as it gives you a button called 'Animate' to click. With features like these, Meta AI could soon be my go-to source for creating quick AI images, and animating them - I just didn't imagine that I'd ever be doing it in the Messenger app!

I Tried Mixbook AI to Make a Photo Book, and Got a Physical and Digital Memento
Carly Quellman is a movement artist, storyteller and disability advocate whose work challenges and strips perspective around the human experience. As an advocate for young women, artistic potential and the "anomaly" identity, Carly dedicates her time to spreading the power of expression. She resides in Los Angeles. After I spent a whopping three months organizing my phone's photo albums to reflect the various places I've lived in and traveled to throughout my 20s, I realized I'd never physically commemorated my time spent in said places. Though, I certainly had the pictures -- 10,611 to be exact -- to prove it. This brought me face to face with Mixbook, an online photo book creation and memory curation platform. It recently added artificial intelligence design technology -- an AI-powered caption generator, along with "Mixbook Movies," an AI-powered video created from your photo book, with customizable themes and accompanying music. Founded in 2006 by Andrew Laffoon and Aryk Grosz, friends who met during their studies at UC Berkeley, Mixbook is a collaborative online photo book creation platform. Prices for Mixbook's products start from between $0.15 and $90, depending on paper type, size, number of pages and other product personalizations. In the nearly two decades since its launch, the company has expanded from yearbooks and photo books to include cards, calendars and other photo products, like its new AI-powered design technology and Mixbook Movies. The company's goal is to make personal storytelling intuitive, achievable and fast. But as I skimmed through photos of time spent in Toronto, New York, Copenhagen, Portland and Puerto Rico, I found myself hesitant to select certain photos over others. I was oddly worried about what AI could intuit from my photos and art direction, and even the photo placement and layout. Was I really concerned about how a non-human entity understood, processed and described my photos? Yes. But was I eager to have AI help generate fun and creative ideas for my photo book? Also yes. Mixbook's AI features suggest captions, text elements and layouts, allowing you to edit and customize the suggestions according to your preferences, enhancing the narrative behind the images. As a result, you can create professional-looking photo books that encapsulate the essence of your experiences -- all as part of Mixbook's ongoing efforts to blend technology and creativity to preserve and share its users' stories. Once I began uploading photos, Mixbook immediately stepped in to accommodate the process. After setting up my photo placement, I used its AI caption generator. Caption ideas were set up as different themes, including smart, by topic and location. For my leading photo, I was impressed to see that AI knew my photo was taken in Brooklyn (the Brooklyn Museum, to be exact). Though the caption generator feature was intended to be used this way, it still felt thoughtful and personal, reflecting a significant time in my life. I also spent time playing with typefaces to alter the mood and feeling the text conveyed on top of my photo. If you're lacking inspiration, the caption generator acts as a creative boost to better develop and understand the storytelling your photos naturally convey. My favorite feature was AI's ability to regenerate results, even if I wasn't satisfied with its attempt. I was struck by Mixbook's second attempt at generating text for my photo. So much so that I kept it in as part of my photo book's final design. From my experience, if you give AI the freedom to continually regenerate new ideas across its subcategories, you are bound to find something that either you like, or inspires a caption of your own. The process took less than 2 hours, mostly with most of the time spent placing my photos in layout and playing with features once they were laid out. With upgrades like choosing a hardcover book and using premium lustre paper, my Mixbook Photo Book totaled $65 before tax and shipping, and close to $100 following. But I also created a 10x10-inch Deluxe Square Glossy Premium Lustre Hardcover Photo Book -- 11 hand-selected pages with my travels in mind and text built out across them. I can't knock any company that uses AI in a way that's nothing more (or less!) than feel-good and genuinely helpful. Mixbook's caption generator helped me riff and come up with captions that felt true to me and what I was trying to evoke through my photos. And after some trial and error, I found some text that suited the story I wanted to tell with my photos. (I guess my AI-powered anxiety was unnecessary in the end.) Additionally, receiving my Mixbook Movie at the end of the process allowed me to digitally share my photo book with friends and family who were curious about it or the places I had been, with music themes and specific songs to match. These features were nice to have in the process and provided additional offerings when deciding if the price of my photo book was worth it. Mixbook consistently features 40 to 50% discount codes on its website, which helps keep prices accessible. I bought my photo book without a discount code. I also appreciated Mixbook's parameters throughout the process. When my copy was too close to the binding, I found my cursor in the "red zone." I was also flagged for not having 10 pages total in my photo book, which restricted me from checking out. But when I received my book, I was a little bummed to see that even with these callouts, the text on the backside of the book was, indeed, touching the binding of the book. The photo book also contained extra white pages in the back section, though I had met its page requirements. While these features aren't AI-related, I'd keep a close eye out for proximity within your design in hopes of not being disappointed. While Mixbook isn't the leading company for innovative photo editing or out-of-the-box typography, its success is built around memories, and commemorating the pleasant feeling from them. In turn, its new AI-powered additions are a nice add-on. The AI can step in as a collaborator without entirely removing humans from the process. For special occasions, a sentimental gift or simply a bonding activity to do with friends and family, Mixbook is proof that AI can be a benefit to humans. Its product affirms that it can't replace us -- or our memories. But this specific use of AI can help both become larger than life.
