Lore Machine

Calling all creatives and creators! 🎨 📽 📸 💃 🎭 We're seeing an explosion of models, tools, and companies emerging at the intersection of AI and art, film/video, design, and more, not to mention for helping the business side of these fields. The creative outputs from early adopters have been amazing, but there are still too many talented artists and creatives stuck on the sidelines, not knowing where to start. The speed of change is overwhelming even the most engaged of us! That's why we're now hosting a monthly AI x Creativity event, in partnership with Aarmida and Veronica Jacques. Amid Labs is committed to bridging the tech and creative ecosystems. Our first preview event featured Lore Machine, the "story visualization system" being spearheaded by founder Thobey Campion – peep his profile to see his film/video pedigree! At each event, we teach the ins and outs of a tool, unleash the creativity of attendees to actually create something, and then review the final products together, while sharing learnings, experiences, feedback, and more. These tools can unleash the creative potential in so many of us. To quote Lina Colucci, PhD , founder of Infinity AI (YC W24), who we recently interviewed at Amid Labs: "If you have ideas that you want to share with the world and bring to life, you are an artist" Comment "art" if you want to learn an AI creative tool. *** Big thanks to some of our preview attendees, you rock!

Lore Machine, an artificial intelligence start-up that allows writers to convert stories into images, audio and animation, said it was in talks to raise funds and started rolling out its visual-storytelling platform to the public on Tuesday. The company plans to charge between $10 and $160 per month for its platform that allows users to customize locations, characters and scenes, with the highest-priced tier aimed at enterprises. Lore Machine is also in talks with venture capital firms for a fundraise, following a pre-seed funding round in January 2023 that included Dao Jones, 100 Acre Ventures and NZVC and financial details of which were not disclosed. "We are considering it (fundraising) ... having conversations with the VC community ... we are profitable and have significant revenues in Q4 and Q1 of this year from our partnerships," Lore Machine founder and CEO Thobey Campion told Reuters. Lore Machine said it sees a large opportunity in the marketing industry and the company created an ad for HP's gaming computers that was aired in China. The start-up is in talks for partnerships with 20 software platforms and content partners and is working on a version of the platform that would allow enterprises to train the model with their in-house styles. https://lnkd.in/g2SjnXfJ
