This tool is one of the first to be supported by the company’s AI research and development arm, PAIR (Picsart AI Research), which launched earlier this year and is led by Shi. The team worked alongside Picsart’s product and engineering teams to turn the technology into a simple one-tap feature right on the Picsart editor. PAIR has also partnered with leading universities including UC Berkeley, UIUC, University of Oregon and others to conduct fundamental research on AI to empower the next generation of creative communication.

The launch of this tool follows Picsart’s $130M Series C funding, announced in August. With investment in AI being the core of the fundraise, the team plans to hire, continue its fundamental AI research and build top products that will empower creativity for the hundreds of millions of Picsart users around the world.
