Wombo (stylized as WOMBO) is a Canadian tech startup centered around AI. Their flagship product is an app titled Dream, released in 2021, that has features such as using a provided selfie to create a deepfake of a person, text to image generation, and more.
Dream is an image and video generation app powered by Stable Diffusion. It can be used to create images from text using a variety of style presets. It can also generate a deepfake using 5-10 images of source material.
The app includes a premium tier, which gives users priority processing time and no in-app ads.[1]
Wombo processes images in the cloud. CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin says that all user data is deleted after 24 hours.[2]
Dream was developed in Canada and launched in February 2021 after a beta period in January.[3] Wombo CEO Ben-Zion Benkhin says he got the idea for the app in August 2020. The app is available on both the App Store and Google Play Store.[4]
Within its first three weeks of release, the app was downloaded over 20 million times, and over 100 million clips were created using the app.[5] The sudden boom in deepfake technology has been described as "a cultural tipping point we aren't ready for", as it is now possible to create a deepfake from any picture off social media in a very short amount of time.
It shut down on May 3rd, 2023.
