We are rebuilding photoshop with an AI-voice interface.

Instead of navigating complex menus or learning new tools, creatives can simply describe their vision in natural language—“Draw me a Swiss mountain lake. Now make it sunset. Add a boat. Now animate it.” Awen 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.
