About Us

AI Canvas for Design Decisions

Our Mission

For ages, communication has been dominated by words. While effective, words can be inefficient. Visual mediums, such as pictures, movies, or interactive visual objects, are often more impactful.

At Vivify, we aim to unlock the vast reservoir of tacit knowledge within individuals. Our goal is to incentivize knowledge sharing by simplifying nuanced and precise expression, reducing reliance on lengthy explanations.

The Challenge

Designers, whether in UI, graphics, product, or landscape, face communication hurdles that involve multiple platform transitions. These challenges lead to project delays and emotional exhaustion, making traditional methods unsustainable.

Our Solution

Vivify introduces copilots that offer an intuitive way to communicate naturally, enhanced by visual assistance. This lets users focus on creativity without needing to become tool experts or prompt engineers.

Our Approach

While our communication solutions have universal applications, we are initially focusing on designers. Our project and tool-agnostic agents empower designers to work autonomously, eliminating repetitive training and enhancing scalability.

By integrating with existing communication layers, our agents adapt to various tools and projects, ensuring seamless collaboration and efficiency.
