A team of former Google engineers has launched Mixup, an iOS app that gamifies AI photo editing.
Users create AI-generated images using "recipes," which are fill-in-the-blank prompts, and can share successful prompts.
The app, built on Google's Nano Banana model, displays both the prompt and resulting image to address generative AI's unpredictability.
Mixup offers free accounts with 100 credits and paid tiers for additional credits.
The app will be available on the App Store starting November 21, 2025.
