Cara is a social media and portfolio platform for artists. With the widespread use of generative AI, we decided to build a place that filters out generative AI images so that people who want to find authentic creatives and artwork can do so easily.

First found out about the rapid growth of the Cara app from a Wired article about the Jingna Zhang an Artist and Founder of the app. Below are some quotes from the article that detail the reason Zhang created the app and the rapid growth it has experienced so far Kate Knibbs a senior writer at WIRED writes: "Artists are fleeing Meta’s platforms over fears their work will be used to train AI. Photographer Jingna Zhang’s Cara promises protection, but the influx of new users is taxing her niche portfolio app." "Launched in early 2023, Cara had just a few thousand users for the first year of its life; last week, it jumped from having around 40,000 accounts to 650,000, and is now closing in on a million users."

@rrhoover from the Wired article Jingna Zhang the Founder states it’s backlash from “Meta’s policies around art and artificial intelligence. (Meta includes art from users in its training data.)”

Been seeing more and more artists posting about their new Cara portfolio on Instagram (btw, we're launching an instagram marketing automation tool soon, check it out). I'm really happy to see a product betting on the anti-gen AI sentiment. I think there's at least as much value to get from guaranteeing that AI was not used to create something than from AI itself. Great launch guys!
