Introducing Visual Electric’s Designer-Centric AI-Powered Image Generator

Visual Electric, a company backed by Sequoia Capital, has launched its generative AI-based image-generation tool aimed at designers.

The company was founded in 2022 and it has raised $2.5 million in funding from Sequoia, BoxGroup and Designer Fund.

Visual Electric uses Stable Diffusion as the image generation model along with GPT-3.5 Turbo to power auto-generated prompt suggestions. The tool also deploys GPT-4 to generate a prompt from an imported image.

The company doesn’t have a mobile app yet but is considering working on it next year.

In the last year, companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, Adobe and even Getty Images have launched many image-generation tools. Chatbot platforms like ChatGPT and Poe have also integrated image generations for easier access.

Visual Electric thinks that its focus on a specific set of users will give it an edge. Recently, other tools like Vercel and TLDraw — which recently raised an additional $2 million in funding — have also experimented with interface-generating features.
