What is Kittl?
Kittl goes agentic: design by intent, with the tools you use wired in.
Kittl is a browser-based design tool that has moved aggressively into AI-native creation. Its weekly product-update cadence carries steady craft improvements (brand kits, on-brand generation), but the last two headline releases are directional: an Apps panel that pulls external tools into the canvas, and now an Agentic AI mode that shifts creation from manual prompt-and-parameter tuning toward stating intent and letting the system drive. Kittl is compressing the distance between idea and finished design.
What is Mentimeter?
Mentimeter keeps folding AI into the loop — now summarizing sessions after they end.
Mentimeter is an audience-engagement and interactive-presentation tool that has spent 2026 turning AI from an add-on into a default layer of the product. Its monthly update cadence is steady, and the through-line is AI touching more of the workflow: building presentations, suggesting questions, grouping live responses, and now summarizing outcomes. A parallel bet, Menti Pulse, is pushing the brand beyond one-off presentations toward recurring team sensing.

Kittl
7.5DESIGN
Kittl goes agentic: design by intent, with the tools you use wired in.
◆ Current state
Kittl is a browser-based design tool that has moved aggressively into AI-native creation. Its weekly product-update cadence carries steady craft improvements (brand kits, on-brand generation), but the last two headline releases are directional: an Apps panel that pulls external tools into the canvas, and now an Agentic AI mode that shifts creation from manual prompt-and-parameter tuning toward stating intent and letting the system drive. Kittl is compressing the distance between idea and finished design.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is consolidating the whole design workflow inside one surface — first by integrating outside tools (Apps), then by automating the decision-making inside creation (Agentic AI). Together they point at Kittl as an AI design environment where the user sets direction and the agent handles model, format, and style choices, with connected services feeding assets and distribution.
◆ Prediction
Expect Kittl to widen the Apps ecosystem and give the agent more reach — chaining multi-step design tasks and acting across the connected apps rather than generating single artifacts.
Mentimeter
2.5DESIGN
Mentimeter keeps folding AI into the loop — now summarizing sessions after they end.
◆ Current state
Mentimeter is an audience-engagement and interactive-presentation tool that has spent 2026 turning AI from an add-on into a default layer of the product. Its monthly update cadence is steady, and the through-line is AI touching more of the workflow: building presentations, suggesting questions, grouping live responses, and now summarizing outcomes. A parallel bet, Menti Pulse, is pushing the brand beyond one-off presentations toward recurring team sensing.
◆ Where it's heading
Two vectors are compounding: AI is moving from creation-time assistance toward full-lifecycle coverage (pre-session build, in-session grouping, post-session takeaways), and Menti Pulse is an attempt to make Mentimeter a continuous engagement surface inside tools like Microsoft Teams rather than a per-meeting utility. The post-session AI takeaways close the last open gap in the meeting lifecycle.
◆ Prediction
Expect Mentimeter to keep pushing AI outward from the live session — likely deeper post-session analytics and cross-Menti trend summaries — while moving Menti Pulse from closed beta toward wider availability.
