We're building better systems for creative work.

The way creative work gets made is changing in a fundamental way. That doesn't happen often, and when it does, it opens up a chance to build something that matters to creatives the way Photoshop did. That's why we're building Babou.

The team beyond us

Babou is two brothers, but it isn't just the two of us. We work with designers, visual artists, and engineers all over the world. And of course, our six creative agents that never sleep.

Babou is Salvador Dalí's ocelot.

The painter brought him on press tours, took him to dinner, walked him on a leash through Paris. We borrowed the name as a nod to OpenAI's DALL·E, itself named after Dalí, because it was the first time we realized that machines could also be artists.
