Some Emerging Guidelines On Identifying Key Factors For
Sticky is launching today on iOS, with an Android version due in a week or two. While Prisma gained viral popularity last year , netting its Moscow-based makers around 70 million downloads in a matter of months, its core feature has been rapidly and widely copied — including by social goliaths like Facebook . The team’s response to having their USP eaten alive by others’ algorithms was to evolve their cool tool into a platform . But with the social app space essentially sewn up (at least in the West) by Facebook, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, building momentum and making a lasting impression as a new platform is clearly not an easy task. Co-founder Aram Airapetyan tells us Prisma’s audience has been “very stable for the last six months” — shaking out to “around 10 million monthly active users”. That’s not bad for a ~one-year-old app. But, well, Facebook has two billion monthly users at this point… (And that’s before you factor in all the Instagram and WhatsApp users.) So it’s hardly a fair fight. Still, Prisma’s team isn’t sitting still. Their next app project also applies neural networks to another photo-focused task — this time creating selfie stickers for social sharing to messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Apple’s iMessage and Telegram. Sticky’s core tech is an auto cut-out feature that quickly extracts your selfie from whatever background you snapped against so that it can be repurposed into sharable social currency as a standalone sticker. “We trained neural networks to find different objects on a photo/ video and even on a live video stream.
