Our take

As AI integration grows in creative fields, concerns arise about the future of professions like writing and design. However, Mirage (formerly known as Captions), sets out to transform these anxieties into opportunities by harnessing AI technology to streamline the creative workflow.

By automating tasks in music, graphic design and video production, Mirage allows users to generate compelling content directly from their mobile devices. As the demand for captivating digital content rises, the company has expanded from processes like captioning, editing, dubbing and soundtracking into more sophisticated models specified for things like pacing, framing, and attention dynamics.

Mirage's innovative approach has seen it raise considerable funding which has supported team growth, in-house research and the expansion of its technical infrastructure. As it expands its offering to serve industries like advertising and marketing, it has secured fresh funds that will fuel this moderated (and lucrative-looking) direction.
