Picsart now allows creators to ‘hire’ AI assistants through agent marketplace

TechCrunch
Picsart has launched an AI agent marketplace enabling creators to hire specialized AI assistants for tasks like content resizing and product photo editing.

Summary

The AI-powered design platform Picsart has introduced an AI agent marketplace, allowing its 130 million users to "hire" AI assistants for specific creative and business tasks. According to CEO Hovhannes Avoyan, this shifts creators from being operators to decision-makers. Initially, users can access four agents: Flair, which integrates with Shopify to analyze trends and suggest product photo improvements; Resize Pro, which resizes media while using AI to extend frames intentionally; Remix, which applies descriptive styles to photo libraries; and Swap, for bulk background changes. Agents like Flair can operate asynchronously and integrate with messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. Picsart addresses potential AI issues by allowing users to set "autonomy levels," requiring approval before actions are executed. While a free plan exists, using AI agents generally requires a paid subscription starting around $10 per month.
