🧑🎨 Paint me like an Artisse
Tired of the same old selfie filters?
Artisse is here to save the day, allowing users to generate AI photos of themselves. The process is simple:
Train the AI with 15 selfies.
Use text or images to prompt the AI to create pictures of yourself.
What sets Artisse apart?
It's super user-friendly, allowing you to choose from templates or upload reference photos to create images in various settings and styles.
You can fine-tune your photos with a tap of a button.
Artisse also combines its proprietary model with the best practices from open-source tools. Its mission is to provide diversity in body shapes and skin tones, addressing the shortcomings of other AI photo apps.
Founder William Wu was inspired to create Artisse after seeing the unrealistic standards set by social media. He wanted to make perfect personal photography accessible to everyone, regardless of background or expertise.
Plus, Artisse doesn't break the bank. The first 25 photos are free; after that, it's just around 20 cents per photo.
Overall: Artisse is not just for individuals—it's also offering services for businesses, helping assist with model selection, image generation, and post-production work.

🎼 Bot signed by Warner Music
Five years after making her debut in the Middle East, 18-year-old model Noonoouri is pursuing new dreams, signing with Warner Music and releasing her first single, Dominoes.
Just one quick note: Noonoouri is not real.
Despite this (rather important) fact, she boasts over 400k Instagram followers and has modeled for top brands like Balenciaga and Dior. Now, the CGI influencer is breaking into music using AI-assisted vocals.
Her debut, Dominoes, was produced with songwriters and musicians who will receive royalties like any pop track. It features German DJ Alle Farben and lyrics about future creative collaborations between music and tech.
Why is this important? At 18, Noonoouri is forever young, seamlessly evolving from modeling to music. She shows how digital stars are going mainstream through major deals with brands and labels.
Overall: As technology improves, digital-first stars like Noonoouri could transform entertainment and influence.
For now, she stands poised on the edge of a new frontier. With growing industry interest, Noonoouri's synthesized voice could spark a chain reaction, taking virtual popstars into the future.
