If you’ve ever gotten a professional headshot, you know how expensive it can get. From the outfit to hair and makeup – the costs add up without considering the pay of the photographer. But a company called The Multiverse AI is changing the way you get professional headshots. And the results are not only amazing but affordable too.
The two major problems with most AI generated human images is with teeth and fingers. Most of the AI tools don’t get these two human features correct. But The Multiverse has eliminated the problem by training their model and eliminating the need to include fingers in your headshots. The company recently announced its latest AI model, Upscale to further enhance the AI headshots.
Upscale is a new imaging model that improves lighting, skin texture, and hair which are notoriously challenging for imaging models. The results are really good. I’ve been following The Multiverse AI on socials, and have been reading great things about them, so much so that their revenue has grown more than 10 times through word of mouth in a period of last four weeks.
How does the Multiverse AI work?
The Multiverse AI works by leveraging a latent diffusion model to engineer a custom headshot. According to the company, up to “80% of images look like studio quality professional headshots of the user, with the percentage depending on the quality of input images.” While there is no criteria to define and measure that percentage, I agree on the part that at least a few of the 100 generated images can be used on your LinkedIn and resume.
To generate your professional headshot, you need to pay $24 and upload 12-20 images of yourself showing your head and shoulders. Also, make sure that you don’t upload images in sunglasses (specs are ok).
The Multiverse AI team then works on these images to create 100 different headshots (where up to 70% images are a success but “at least 10% of generated images will work wonderfully”) and emails the results to you within a couple of hours. You can get 40 more images for free if you share one of the generated images on your social handles and tag them.
The question arises, is the company using your images to train their AI? As per their website, your uploaded photos are only used to generate your results and then deleted after two weeks without using them to train any AI. You can email them to delete your images earlier if you want.
The Multiverse AI is making the process of getting professional quality headshots easier and more affordable without needing to step out of your room. It still needs to go a long way with image generation times but the AI headshots you get after a couple of hours of wait time are already pretty good.
