Superstudio offers a highly curated selection of foundational models for image and video creation, including Luma Lab’s Dream Machine, Black Forest Labs’ Flux, and Kaiber’s own image and video models. Its intuitive Canvas interface allows creators to easily combine their ideas with AI-generated content, sparking new creative possibilities. By integrating diverse tools and models into a single platform, Superstudio empowers artists and designers to push the boundaries of their craft while maintaining full control over their creative vision.

“Creatives are stuck in a loop of slow, ugly AI slop and disjointed workflows, paying 5-10 subscriptions to make one asset,” said Victor Wang, CEO of Kaiber. “With Superstudio, we've created a home base for the new forms of creativity emerging as humans collaborate with machines. Our focus has always been putting human creativity first, and Superstudio empowers artists to seamlessly integrate AI into their process, amplifying their taste without sacrificing originality.”

Superstudio evolved in real-time leading up to this launch through projects with renowned names such as Yaeji, Boiler Room, Praying, Jon Rafman, Grimes, Chief Keef, and Andrew Thomas Huang.

“The emerging culture around AI is lacking an artist-driven vision. We know artists deserve better,” said Kyt Janae, multidisciplinary artist and Head of Creative at Kaiber. “Automating and optimizing creativity is not the goal. As an artist, experimenting with and adopting new tools is a sacred act, not driven by the latest and greatest features, but by the pursuit of turning a vision into reality. Kaiber is pushing the landscape of creative AI forward with a product that supercharges the creative process. We’ve worked exclusively with visionaries who understand and want to build this new future with us. We’re here to guide and create artist-driven culture.”

REIMAGINING THE CREATIVE EXPERIENCE

In today's digital landscape, creatives often find themselves juggling multiple complex applications and subscriptions to produce a single asset. This “tool fatigue” hinders productivity and innovation. Superstudio addresses this by bringing the best foundational models into a singular platform, accelerating the creative process.

Its unique design sets it apart in the AI world, introducing a new level of modularity to AI-assisted creation. Users can generate images and videos concurrently, then seamlessly use these outputs as inputs in new Flows—allowing for infinite combinations and iterations all within the same interface.

Superstudio’s design prioritizes ease of use. It employs simple language, drag-and-drop functionality, and sliders, making complex AI operations accessible to users of all skill levels. This approach demystifies AI terms and processes, lowering the barrier to entry for creatives.

The platform supports multiple infinite canvases for idea exploration and project organization, catering to both expansive brainstorming and structured workflows. At the heart of Superstudio’s interface is Kiko, a brand character serving as the generate button - a fresh take on the often-used AI sparkle emoji - adding a playful personality to the user experience.

A PLAYGROUND OF INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

Superstudio transforms the creative process from ideation to final output. Users can begin with a simple concept and expand it into a rich multimedia project, blending images, videos, and audio elements.

Superstudio key features include:

  • Canvas: An open, intuitive space for importing, generating, and refining ideas.
  • Flows: Creative building blocks of AI tools with modular Elements like style transfers, face references, upscaling, and audio-reactivity.
  • Collections: Organized asset groups that integrate directly with Flows.

EMPOWERING CREATORS ACROSS DISCIPLINES

Superstudio caters to a wide range of creative professionals, from animators to content creators and early-career or seasoned creative professionals. As AI technology evolves, so does Superstudio, continually expanding its capabilities to support diverse creative needs.
