A mockup catalogue growing by a scene a day, with lifestyle staging as the differentiator.
Mediamodifier's feed is a template catalogue, not a changelog: each entry is a single new mockup scene added to the library. The current run leans into lifestyle staging — a MacBook on rumpled bedding, a mug on a sunlit garden table, a tutu held open on a garden path — rather than the isolated product shots that dominate the category. Multi-surface templates keep appearing too, with the DVD case and coloring book both allowing the cover and interior to be customized in one scene.
Mentimeter is reaching past the presentation into recurring team sensing
Mentimeter publishes monthly or seasonal digests, each carrying a handful of changes. The recent run has been split between editing ergonomics — a grid view for slides with the same copy, duplicate, rearrange and delete actions as the thumbnail rail, PowerPoint add-in accessibility fixes — and AI applied to what the audience said, with automatic takeaways surfaced on the Results tab after a session. The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.
Mediamodifier's feed is a template catalogue, not a changelog: each entry is a single new mockup scene added to the library.

Multi-surface templates keep appearing too, with the DVD case and coloring book both allowing the cover and interior to be customized in one scene.
The library is being extended along two axes at once: more editable surfaces per template, and more specific real-world settings. The recurring audience list in each description — print-on-demand sellers, Etsy shops, Amazon KDP, sublimation businesses — shows the catalogue being aimed squarely at small-scale commerce sellers rather than agency art directors. Nothing in the feed indicates changes to the generator itself; the product grows by inventory.
Expect the daily cadence of new scenes to continue with further lifestyle and multi-surface templates; the feed carries no signal about the underlying editor, so any tooling change would not be visible here.

The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.
The product is trying to exist between meetings rather than only during them. Menti Pulse runs on a schedule in Teams with trends over time, and AI takeaways make what happened in a session persist as something readable afterwards rather than a chart that dies with the room. Everything else is craft work on the authoring surface, which is where Mentimeter's existing users spend their time.
Expect Menti Pulse to leave closed beta with Teams as the only delivery channel at first, and expect the AI takeaways already generated per session to become the natural summary layer over Pulse's recurring results.
