WePaint.AI: From House Painter to Art Studio
Why I pivoted—and what human–AI creativity could look like
Hi there! I’m Travis Irby. I recently left my 9-5 tech job to build my own web products and to connect with people who need help with theirs. Reach out! |  |
wepaint.ai - beta is launched 🚀
Keep reading to learn how this AI-powered art and image editor came about…
This project began in April on my youtube channel. I set out to fully vibe code a working web app, making videos of the process along the way.
Initially, the concept was an AI house-painting app, where users upload photos of their house, and using AI image generation, we display their house in new colors. I still like this concept.
However, experimenting with AI image generation, I felt hampered by the tools: either too basic or too complex. Using text prompts to describe visuals is limiting; they are two different modalities.
Therefore, I pivoted and began to build an AI art tool that is easy to use and packs powerful AI integration. The goal is to achieve a close collaboration between human and AI in the art-making process!
