Awen changes that. Instead of navigating complex menus, creatives can simply describe their vision—_“Draw me a Swiss mountain lake. Now make it sunset. Add a boat. Now animate it.”_\n\nAwen leverages AI reasoning to understand creative intent through voice. Our goal is to redefine how creatives engage with AI technology, balancing power and ease of use for both professionals and newcomers.\n\nWe are rebuilding Photoshop, with an AI-voice interface.\n\n**The Team**\n\nAwen is built by Thibault, Pablo, and Antoine—a unique blend of experts in machine learning, software engineering, and creative production in advertising, fashion, media, publishing, and entertainment.\n\n**Shall we speak?**\n\nOur community is growing with talented minds:\n\n* If you'd like to connect with us directly, please reach out to [thibault@awen.ai](mailto:thibault@awen.ai).\n* Want to join the visionaries on our waitlist?
