What Our AI is Capable Of

Here is just some of what our AI is capable of:

Face Swap

Replace the guest's face with another face (celebrity, character, friend, etc.) while keeping the body and background intact.

Clothing Change / Virtual Try-On

Swap or overlay new clothing styles (formalwear, costumes, fantasy outfits) onto the guest's body.

Background Removal / Replacement

Cut out the guest from the photo and replace the background with branded backdrops, fantasy worlds, or stylized scenery.

Image to Video / Animation

Animate still photos: blinking, talking, dancing, or placed into short cinematic clips.

Custom Guest Prompts

Guests type ideas ("me as a knight," "me surfing in space") → AI generates stylized images based on their prompt.

Survey-Based Outputs

Guests answer quick questions (favorite color, destination, vibe) → AI generates a themed or personalized output from their AI-enhanced answers.

Group Photos

Capture exact likeness of guests in group shots, and reinvent their scene and clothing.

Custom AI Trading Cards

Gives your guests the ultimate keepsake, putting them into a custom AI theme with a physical trading card.

Custom Brand Assets

Put your brand front and center with customizable brand assets, placing your products into the scene with guests.

Caricature / Cartoonizer

Exaggerate guest features or convert them into playful cartoon or caricature versions.

3D / Avatar Creation

Turn the guest into a 3D character model, game avatar, or animated emoji-like version.

Age / Time Travel Filters

Show guests older, younger, future, or past (child version, elderly version, historical character).

Morph / Transformation Sequences

Generate a sequence showing the guest morphing into something else (wolf, superhero, robot, etc.).

AI Collage / Storybook Pages

Guest photo re-imagined as part of a comic strip, magazine cover, movie poster, or fantasy book illustration.

Spoken Word or Karaoke

Puts guest's voices in control of an AI character, or showcases guests singing a popular song.

Style Transfer

Apply a different artistic style to the guest photo (cartoon, oil painting, anime, comic book, Pixar-style, cyberpunk, watercolor, etc.).
