Behind the Scenes:
For those intrigued by the technology and techniques powering this evolution, we dive deep into the behind-the-scenes process. Discover how AI can be harnessed to not only meet but exceed the high expectations set for product imagery today. From the initial capture to the final image, learn about the innovative approaches that are setting new standards in the industry. 🛠️💡

✨Smarter Conversations: ChatGPT Gets an Update 🧠

OpenAI's Blog shares exciting news - ChatGPT now comes with new memory features and controls. These enhancements are set to redefine user interactions with AI, offering a more context-rich and controlled conversational experience. What's on offer?

• Memory feature: The updated ChatGPT now has the ability to recall past interactions within a session, enabling a more coherent and contextual conversation flow.

• Improved Controls: Users gain finer control over the AI's behavior, which can lead to more personalized and efficient interactions.

Why it Matters: 
For creatives, this means more effective brainstorming sessions, better project management, and a personalized assistant that remembers past inputs, streamlining the creative process. Knowledge continuity within sessions could be transformative for writers, designers, and other creatives who rely on iterative dialogue with AI tools.

AI-driven editorial still-life image 💡

We recently worked on a project creating a still-life image for a rum brand using AI, focusing on a scene with a dark and moody setting. The biggest challenge was trying to make the text on the bottle clear in the dim light. 🌚💡

Despite using just an iPhone and a simple backdrop at home, we liked how the dark tones and the contrast of orange against blue created a visually appealing image. The addition of a lobster added an interesting touch to the story the image tells.

For those interested in learning the responsible use of AI tools for creating backgrounds and more, our next cohort is nearly full. Don't miss your chance to join us. ✨✨
