Very interesting. I would simplify the heck out of it and really focus on speed--allow someone to generate >10 images at once.

Hey! Thanks for that review, appreciate it. Yeah our current speeds are about ~10-12 seconds. 60 seconds is the worst case scenario.

Good point on being able to churn out lots of illustrations at once, we’ll work on that and update soon.

Tried it out - easy to get started, Nice UI, but i think more context, iteration is needed. I asked for developer frustrated with bugs - it showed me a person with real bugs :).

yeah that's a good feedback, prompt adherence and character consistency is something we are working on actively at this point.

I hate using Illustrator, but it's necessary for certain tasks. I will give this product a try :)

thanks! yeah we are just starting out and the product is in early stages, but the goal is to make everything that illustrator does, just a lot more easily with an AI first approach.
