About Us

ABOUT US

IMAIGE AI (pronounced Image AI) was created to help the people and businesses manage the growing deluge of multimedia we create and/or generate on a daily basis. Our solutions focus on personalized AI that automates insight generation, and the curating/organizing of externally stored visual memories for individuals and content for enterprises. 

Our Story

IMAIGE, Inc. was created to enhance the human experience by solving one of the most common modern problems, i.e. generating and then passively collecting using too much multimedia. Personal and enterprise multimedia creations overtax our time, tools, and ability to manage content.

IMAIGE is solving these issues for today and the future; with the help of systems that take over frustrating image curation and cataloging tasks. IMAIGE AI curates and records image details just like you or any of your trusted employees.

IMAIGE is here to ensure every company and consumer has access to the personalized multimedia experience they deserve.
