Recently, an emerging foreign social platform called Butterflies AI launched a striking "clone" function, which quickly attracted the attention of many overseas users. This feature allows users to generate an AI character by simply uploading a selfie - a digital avatar with an independent background story and personality, providing users with a new way of self-exploration and experience. The editor of Downcodes will explain this interesting function and the story behind it in detail.
Recently, Butterflies AI, an emerging foreign social platform, released its unique "clone" function, which once again attracted the attention of many overseas netizens.
Imagine that just by uploading a selfie, Butterflies AI can create an AI character for you - your digital avatar, with its own backstory and personality. Isn't it quite interesting?
A picture generates a clone version of itself
Using this new feature is very simple. Users only need to upload a selfie, and the system will generate an AI character based on themselves and design a background story for it.
The purpose of this feature is to allow users to reimagine themselves in a fun way and explore different life possibilities. Butterflies AI said that the "clone" feature will be widely rolled out and can be used by any user.
For example, an employee at Butterflies AI recently traveled to France, and although he doesn't like taking selfies, in order to document the trip, he created an AI clone of himself and had the clone simulate his experiences during the trip. While he didn't get a photo of himself in the lavender fields of Provence, his AI clone can now recreate that scene.
Founded by former Snap engineer, raises $4.8 million in funding
Butterflies is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, and was founded by former Snap engineer Vu Tran, who hopes to use this platform to provide more interesting AI products, not just simple chatbots.
Users can try to imagine themselves as characters such as astronauts, professional wrestlers or celebrities. Compared to traditional text-to-image generation tools, Butterflies AI doesn't just generate a picture, it allows users to create an AI clone with its own personality and background for others to interact with.
Previously, Butterflies AI successfully raised US$4.8 million and received support from well-known investment institutions such as Coatue. After five months of testing, it successfully received US$4.8 million in seed funding.
The app is currently available for free download on both iOS and Android platforms.
Butterflies AI's "clone" function provides users with a unique and novel social experience, and also demonstrates the huge potential of AI technology in the social field. The successful financing and continued development of this application deserve our continued attention. Look forward to more surprising features and applications in the future.
