📸 Happy to finally announce the closure of our $2m seed round to accelerate the launch of our AI-powered assistive camera of the future. Backed by @betaworks, F4 Fund and @NextWaveNYC via @flybridge, @7pcventures and @DigiCatapult we’re redefining the future of cameras and content creation. ✅ We’re integrating a large language model (LLM) directly into an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera for the first time ever. ✅ We’re entering a new phase in our journey under the name Camera Intelligence (@camera_int) - with a brand that better reflects our direction of travel. Why does this all matter? Producing engaging, high-quality content is necessary for creators and small businesses. But content tools are fragmented with steep learning curves. We want to help creators and businesses go from idea → execution faster than ever: no fuss - just smart, assistive content production in their hands. We've been working hard behind the scenes to deliver a radical new interface that allows users to control camera functions through voice commands. Being on the AI native camp at @betaworks in NYC was hugely influential for our ability to develop and deploy our LLM-driven technology - thanks to @Borthwick, @jordanrcrook, @nicole_ripka and the team. Huge thanks to all of our other investors who believed in our renewed vision Digital Catapult (@SusanBowenUK) and 7percent Ventures (@andrewjscott), and members from the NYC ecosystem (@andruyeung, @thesephist). _ _ __ 🎥 We will be sharing a demo video tomorrow so that you can see what we’re building in action…we can’t wait to share more! I also can’t wait to tell you about a few incredible team members we're recently hired to realise this vision, and thanks to all of our customers for their patience and support. We're only getting started...

Our first Photowalk with Caira, St Paul's to the Barbican. We met in person, put Caira in everyone's hands and walked the City with it. We're making it monthly. Learn more at cameraintelligence.com #Caira Where should we walk next?

Last year @camera_int became the first camera company to put Nano Banana inside a camera. It caused some controversy, and it taught us a lot. Where do you stand on generative models inside cameras? #Caira
