Adobe has the best artificial intelligence offerings among software companies, according to Jim Cramer, with their generative AI tool Firefly being particularly successful.
Wand.app, an AI-powered creative tool, has raised $4.2 million in seed funding and aims to bridge the gap between artists' specific visions and AI-generated content by providing visual tools and personalization. The tool allows artists to customize their ideas and teach a personal AI their own style, offering consistent results that align with their aesthetic. Wand plans to launch publicly in the coming months and differentiate itself by running on mobile, tablet, and desktop. The funding will be used to develop collaborative team features, extend creative tooling to desktop, and explore methods for artists to share or sell their fine-tuned models.
Recent advancements in generative AI have led to the development of text-to-image models that can create highly realistic images using text prompts, but refining these models to generate specific content can be challenging; however, researchers have introduced an image prompt adapter called IP-Adapter that improves the controllability and compatibility of these models.
