Makers of popular Dream by Wombo AI app launch a new app for AI avatars
Wombo, the makers of viral AI-generated art app Dream by Wombo, is back with another new AI-powered app called Wombo Me. The new AI avatar app from the Canadian startup lets you turn a single selfie into multiple lifelike avatars.
Although there are several popular AI avatar apps already on the market, like Lensa AI, Wombo wants to give users a more streamlined experience when generating lifelike avatars. Unlike other similar apps that require you to submit numerous selfies and wait some time before getting your images, Wombo Me only requires one selfie and can generate images almost instantly, Wombo CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin told TechCrunch in an interview.
Wombo Me is meant to be more fun, as opposed to functional. The app’s description notes that you can share the avatars with your friends and across social media, and maybe even use them on platforms like LinkedIn and Tinder to capture both your professionalism and personality.
The app lets you do things like try on the persona of celebrities, movie characters or superheroes with a simple tap. You can also try new hair colors, styles or makeup trends, among other things. Plus, you can create gender-swapped images of yourself or reimagine yourself as an enchanted character.
“As soon as you install it, the first thing you see is a selfie screen, so it asks you to just provide a single image and then as soon as you press continue, you see 10 images of you in unique alternate realities,” Wombo’s head of AI Parshant Loungani told TechCrunch. “And you can swipe right or swipe left in a Tinder-like experience to like it and save it. We plan on using that feedback to improve the user’s identity and the pictures that we generate to basically understand their preference and update it the next time.”
Once you’re done swiping through the set of images provided, you have the choice to browse through a catalog or five to 10 different packs of avatars that include images of yourself in LinkedIn-like headshots, Instagrammable pictures, enchanted characters, cartoon characters, meme characters and more. Some avatar packs are free, while others cost $2.99, $3.99, $4.99 or $7.99.
