In their own words
AI is changing the way creative work is done and Visual Electric exists to supercharge designers’ workflows.
Enabling designers to transform those storyboards into videos directly on the canvas feels both magical and obvious.
The first time you see it, it’s genuinely startling.
Creating with AI is fundamentally different from traditional design software. Text becomes images, images become videos, every output can become an input, and everything is remixable.
Customers pay us to stay on top of AI so they don’t have to.
The introduction of a new medium doesn’t mean the death of another.
Our job is to understand what our customers want and what the technology can do, and to bridge that gap.
We want to be the interface layer that sits between AI and designers.
AI has an interface problem. Discord and chatbots are the wrong UIs for visual thinkers.
As designers, we built the AI design tool we wanted for ourselves – a spatial canvas that lets you spread out and explore your imagination.
