Useful by trying to hold on to the different models that you can use to make your contents using AI now? Called a startup Action It has now collected $ 83 million for a platform that is trying to solve this problem especially for designers and other visual creatives, which believe that working with AI will make the task of working with AI.

San Francisco-based KREA has created a “unified” platform that provides equipment from multiple models, as well as the aim of creating questions along with custom interfaces, and subsequent edits are significantly simple and more customized to the user.

CryA is quietly creating a user base that includes confusion in AI, Loop Yearplugs, Pixar, Lego and Samsung, and today it is announced that it has raised $ 83 million funds. TechCrunch has learned from the Sources near the Treaty Crya Agreement that is currently $ 500 million after money.

The funds are being announced for the first time today, and the total image of $ 83 million is actually coming to a few trangs: Last, a series B, total $ 47 million; Earlier, Million at a predecessor/seed and series was $ 3 million and $ 33 million respectively.

Bain Capital is leading the latest round. Other major investors in the startup include Andresen Horovits and Abstract Ventures.

To AI Creator from Creatives

CreeA was Victor Perez (CEO) and Diego Rodriguez (CTO) Brainchild, Spain’s Barcelona when they were still students a decade ago. Both consider themselves to be creative and creator – especially in the music playing and producing perees and arts in art – but they are equally interested in technical issues.

“I liked physics and maths and problems that challenged my mind,” Perez remembered his student day.

The degree they introduced to each other were engineering for audio visual systems, Perez was interested in audio; Rodrigue on the visual. They quickly became friends, and give Rodriguez a credit for his own interest in AI.

They were not the only one. It was 2015, and ten years later it was a constructive moment for artificial intelligence even before the rise of the generator AI. OpenAI was that year Founded; And the preliminary efforts around the AI-built materials were getting attention.

After their undergraduate degree, the two moved into the work world, each became an AI researcher. Rodriguez finally applied for returning to the graduate school and won a fellowship from the king of Spain to join the coronal. Perez followed and received the same fellowship and showed a semester later.

However, it was seen that Perez finished for a day for a day at Colonel.

Why? After moving towards the move, he said he was thinking about that he would already become an early version of the action. Encouraged, he landed in New York on the day he came to Rodriguez. Rodriguez jumped with both legs, and the two went down to make their startup – the king of Spain and his cooperation would be threatened.

Lipfrogs

The market in which the verb is addressing is a big one at the moment. Simply put, the world is quickly submerged with genital equipment and in general, it presents a number of problems for the average designer in the case of visual models.

Designers are not prompt engineers and do not want to get into the technical process of oral AI interrogation. Designers are not interested in retaining the latest model updates and determining which model is more (or less) effective for what they are trying to achieve.

“Every model is jumping by another person very quickly,” said Bain Ventures partner Arif Hilli. “If you are a creator and want to use these models … there is a layer like a verb and it provides the creator the price they are getting the latest models with great user experience.”

And the creators, the founders of the action, argued that when they were working with software that they understand their sensitivity, they do the best. Designers are creative, and they will be attracted to software that help them in their creative process.

“There are many companies that focus on creative workflows,” Perez said. “But we believe that creativity will not be automated. We are making tools to be able to be more creative, to focus more on ideas and to be able to use this new creative medium.”

And the platform is set to that end. Users can input an idea for an image they want to create. This concept is then processed by the KREA, which selects models behind the screen that believes that the users can give the best results on the basis of request. It can be one model or more than one. Users then can edit and suit the results to further refine them.

The concept of “One Stop Shop” is not exactly original: For example, Poo Text-based generator from Kora reached the same concept for AI reactions. The ability to correct the images is the ability to correct, but it is a unique feature that believes it that helps keep the creator’s vision and talent in the mix.

“Why it is not possible to do this [AI-generated] Fig, and click and drag and drop something or take out something, “asked Rodriguez.” How a painter will work. ”

The company’s tools still cover the image and video and it is working to expand its platform to cover the tools for the audio and music generation, Perez. They will also be used to create more enterprise features: Now, the product is really prepared to serve individuals and small groups.

In a statement to TechCrunch, Anish Acharya Anish Acharya Anish Acharya, general partner of Andresen Horovits, expands human creativity with a product that provides full control of users without strength or craft. ” “They have created a platform that comes at the speed of the best AI research, but from the very first day that this combination is incredibly rare, and that is why we are so keen on what’s ahead we are.”
