About Us
Bristles AI is a startup based in Durham, North Carolina. Our mission is to build creativity-enabling products that harness the insight of artificial intelligence to deliver powerful functionality as delightful, easy-to-use tools for visualizing ideas. Because sometimes, words aren't enough.
We’re inspired by a classic creative tool: the paintbrush. It enables the artist to focus on illustrating their creative vision. All the while, thousands of tiny bristles are working to apply paint evenly and smoothly. In our products, we pack the power into the bristles, so you can focus on the rewarding, creative bits of your work.
Our first product is a mobile app for designing home DIY & upcycling projects. These transformations are massive creative undertakings, so we're empowering DIYers and Upcyclers to visualize, build on, and share their ideas.
