Phota Labs launches free AI photo assistant app for iOS
Start here
Phota Labs released a free iOS app that uses a personal AI photo assistant to turn everyday snapshots into professional-looking images while keeping subjects' real appearance intact. The a16z-backed startup, founded by former Adobe computational photography staff Cecilia Zhang and Zach Xia, built its own identity model so edits do not alter faces, and adds invisible watermarks to AI-altered photos. The app is free for now to build an initial user base before the company explores a freemium model; an Android version is planned. Phota Labs raised a $5.6 million seed round last year.
