Snapchat is jumping on the AI selfie train with ‘Dreams’

Aug 29, 2023 - theverge.com
Snapchat has launched a new feature called Dreams, which uses AI to generate selfie-based images. Users can upload a series of selfies and choose from eight-photo packs with different themes. The first pack is free, with each additional pack costing $1. The feature is initially available in Australia and New Zealand, with a global rollout planned in the coming weeks.

Snapchat's Dreams feature is based on open-source technology and each art style is created by Snap employees. The company plans to allow users to add friends to their Dreams, and the terms of service indicate that Sponsored Dreams from companies like Disney or Pepsi are on the horizon. Despite not being as prominent in pop culture, Snapchat reported 397 million daily users last quarter and content from Memories is shared 280 million times per day.
