Mentimeter pushes past live presentations into always-on engagement, with AI now core.
Mentimeter is extending beyond its live-presentation polling roots. The headline move is Menti Pulse, a closed beta for recurring anonymous pulse checks inside Microsoft Teams with trend tracking over time — engagement that happens between meetings, not during them. In parallel, AI features became a default part of the product for all users earlier this year, and recent releases polished the PowerPoint add-in and the Mentimote companion remote.
Moqups makes itself the editing layer for live sites and AI-generated designs.
Moqups is investing in import paths into the editor. The new browser extension can pull whole live webpages, selected elements, and AI-generated iframes in as fully editable hi-fi designs or lo-fi wireframes, building on recently shipped Figma and Balsamiq importers. The May roundup adds resize constraints, bulk transform, iOS 26 and Material Design 3 kits, and team libraries.

In parallel, AI features became a default part of the product for all users earlier this year, and recent releases polished the PowerPoint add-in and the Mentimote companion remote.
The product is broadening from a presentation tool into an ongoing team-engagement and insight platform, with Microsoft Teams and AI as the two main vectors. Bundling AI into the core product rather than selling it as an add-on signals confidence that generation and analysis are now table stakes. Menti Pulse points at a recurring-data business — trends and shifts over time — that is stickier than one-off presentations.
Expect Menti Pulse to move from closed beta toward wider release, with deeper Teams integration and trend analytics, as Mentimeter builds out continuous engagement alongside its live presentation core.

The May roundup adds resize constraints, bulk transform, iOS 26 and Material Design 3 kits, and team libraries.
The throughline is making Moqups the destination other sources flow into — Figma, Balsamiq, live sites, and now LLM output. By turning AI-generated layouts into editable mockups and offering a design-brief extractor for prompts, Moqups is slotting itself into the AI-design loop as the editing-and-refinement layer rather than competing on generation.
Expect more import sources and AI-workflow tooling — a Safari extension is promised, and the round-trip between Moqups and LLMs (export to PDF, regenerate, re-import) is likely to deepen.
