overview
Maiker was an internal idea that started as an experiment and was validated enough to move into brand and hi-fidelity designs with the end goal being to run a beta. The team tested multiple AI libraries and conversational interfaces to create the right mix of interaction to visual output. By allowing users to chat with Maiker over time instead of a one-time input, Maiker continued to learn more about the user to create their piece of unique art. Featured were added to then allow the user to order the work of art as a print, or open their own shop and sell to other Maikers. Long term opportunities were the ability to collaborate with others on a project and NFTs. Maiker was eventually put on the back-burner to wait for the release of new AI libraries and as other internal ideas were deemed more viable in the moment.
