Artisse AI is a personal photography application that uses AI to transform selfies into high-quality, personalized images.[1][2] The app allows users to visualize themselves in various scenarios, outfits, and hairstyles, and they can adjust lighting and ambiance to match their preferences.[3][4]
History
[edit]The company and eponymous app were founded by William Wu in South Korea in 2014,[5] who works with a K-pop agency trying to create a virtual idol for his blockchain gaming business.[6][7][3] In January 2024, Artisse received $6.7 million in seed funding led by The London Fund to boost the development and marketing of its AI-driven photography app.[8][9][5]
Artisse uses an AI algorithm to create hyperrealistic images from uploaded photos.[2] The app generates personalized images by combining generative AI technology, a global pool of licensed talent, and finished art services.[10][11][12][13]
The app works with individual users and businesses, offering professional-grade photos and advertisement images.[2][14]
According to the British newspaper Evening Standard the company have developed the world's first and most advanced AI photographer. It captures 15-30 photos of the user and generates 2D images, placing them in various outfits and locations worldwide.[1]
