Wombo, the creative mind behind the viral AI art app Dream by Wombo, has launched an exciting new project called Wombo Me, a new AI avatar app. This Canadian startup aims to simplify the avatar creation experience and provide users with realistic avatars instantly from a single selfie. In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Wombo CEO Ben-Sion Benhin highlighted the app’s interesting approach. Unlike other AI avatar apps, Wombo Me lets you instantly create an avatar with just a selfie. The app encourages users to share these avatars on social media, adding a fun touch to platforms like LinkedIn and Tinder.
Wombo Me is not limited to realistic avatars. Users can experience celebrities, movie characters, superheroes, different hair colors, styles, makeup trends, and even gender-swapped or charmed versions. The process is simple. Take a selfie and Wombo Me will give you 10 unique alternate reality images that you can swipe, Tinder-style. The app plans to use user feedback to improve avatar creation in the future. After uploading the first set of images, users can choose from a variety of avatar packs, including LinkedIn-style portraits, editable Instagram images, magical characters, cartoon characters, meme characters, and more. You can study. Some packs are free, but others come in a variety of prices, from $2.99 to $7.99. Benhin assures users that Wombo Me offers high-quality images that are better than anything on the market. The ease of creating content from a single selfie makes Wombo Me instantly user-friendly and accessible. Beyond the immediate benefits, Wombo has long-term plans for Wombo Me. The app’s ability to generate personalized content based on a single selfie could be integrated into a deeper platform experience. This includes using the social aspect of the app to create photos with your group of friends. Looking ahead, Wombo Me could include additional elements, such as 10- to 20-second audio clips or videos of users moving their heads, to create multimodal matches. This compatibility can be used to create many different types of content, from dance videos to interactive experiences with friends. Benhin predicts that the role of AI in media production will become increasingly prominent and will surpass curation. A future is envisioned where users not only create content, but also actively create AI-generated environments for social platforms. The global availability of Wombo Me on iOS and Android means that Wombo Me is ready to start this journey.
After its predecessor, Dream by Wombo, which was a huge success last year and won Google’s “Best App” in the US, Wombo Me introduces a new dimension to AI avatar creation, offering a fun and accessible experience. For users worldwide.
