With just a few words, the AI models can be requested to create a story, an image or even a short film. However, according to Weber Wang, these models are “made by non-arts to feel creative for other non-creatures.”
In other words, they are not built for real creative professionals. It’s something that is hoping to change with Wang FloraA new startup where he is the founder and CEO.
Flora has turned on this week, complete with a Advertisement “AI creative equipment should be more than toys for AI OP OP Production” and Wang and his team declared “tied with creating a power equipment that will deepen the future of creative work.”
Manifesto Flora identifies as something different than existing AI equipment, which “makes it easy to create, but there is a lack of creative control” and from existing creative software, which gives users “, but it is unreasonable and time -consuming.”
Flora is not trying to create AI models better generators better. Wang argued that one of the main insights in the startup was “Models are not creative equipment.” So instead, Flora provides an “infinite canvas” that integrates with existing models – this is a visual interface where users can create text, images and video blocks.
“The model doesn’t matter, the technology doesn’t matter,” Wang told me “it’s about the interface.”
For example, a user can start by requesting the floor to create a flower image, then ask the image details, those details lead to different images, each step and variation are mapped on the aforesaid canvas, which can also be divided for partners with clients.
Wang told me that he would like to be useful for any and all artists and creators, but the company initially focuses on working with the Visual Design Agencies. In fact, it is repeating the product with designers’ response to the renowned agency PentagramThe
Wang said the goal is to allow a designer to “just do 100x more creative” in Pentagram, create a logo design and then make 100 variations quickly. He compared it to the evolution of music compositions – where Mozart needed a complete orchestra to play his music, “Today a musician” made it from his garage in New Jersey with Abelton and post it on SoundCloud “. “
Wang has a background of himself as an investor in Menlo Venture, but when he realized, “I don’t come back.” As scheduled to be a suitable founder for investment, he eventually joined the interactive telecommunication program of the University of New York, a graduate program that focused on the use of technology to create industry.
When Flora launched an alpha version in August, Wang decided “Launch with An industrial project It has shown our real-time AI technology, “Flora Homepage has shown live feed from a gopro camera on Wang’s head, and visitors on the website are getting the opportunity to use AI to stylize the footage after signing up for the flora waitlist.
Giving his background, Wang knows that there are artists and professionals who are skeptical or even strongly opposing the use of AI in the industry – in reality Pentagram Generated some controversy Last year when it used a mid -journey to create a figure style for a project with the US government.
Wang said that where the existing models were taken by “AI Natives”, he hopes that Flora can win over “II curiosity” and in the end even “AI haters” seem to try to try.
When I have raised concerns that AI models can be Trained without respect For copyright and intellectual property, Wang mentions that Flora itself is not training an AI model (because it is using the model of other companies), adding, “We will follow social standards.”
And when he does not want to use Flora not to use for AI OP alu floods (we are going to get the hats called ‘we’ anti-i-op-alu), she suggested that the startup would like to unlock the artists similarly to “new aesthetic and creative possibilities.” Kodak’s brownie Converted photography to make it more casual and accessible.
Flora is not releasing the funds in the funds, but its supporters include A16z games. The product is available for free with a limited number of projects and generated materials and then the professional price starts at $ 16 per month.
