We are an AI lab building the future of photography. Our mission is to put a bespoke professional photographer into the hands of every person and organization worldwide.
For the first time in history, the trillions of photos taken have provided enough data to train massive AI models. These models are now capable of generating, from scratch, images that are indistinguishable from actual photographs.
Our products deliver a 10x improvement in both convenience and cost, resulting in an overall 100x improvement. This has been a key factor behind our rapid growth from launch to over $5 million annual run rate in under 12 months.
Our technology eliminates the need for expensive professional cameras, lenses, photographers, clothing, or the necessity of being physically present at specific locations to have professional-grade photographs taken of you. This is the final evolution of photography.
Our Challenge
While AI text-to-image generators have improved, they can't yet produce images of specific people. This is a key limitation we aim to overcome by developing AI models for individual recognition.
Portrait photography, a $20B market, is both the largest and most challenging sector. Humans excel at facial recognition, hence, reproducing faces accurately has been challenging for AI researchers.
We've made considerable progress in identity preservation, offering solutions 10x more cost-effective and efficient than before. However, AI still lags behind digital photography in some areas. Remaining challenges include algorithm development, AI model training to minimize bias, enhance resolution, and reduce inference time.
As an applied AI lab, we strive not only to enhance AI photography but also to develop new products and experiences that appeal to both individuals and organizations.
