About MOTHER.tech

Founded in 2023 by Kelsey Falter and Raissa Chagas, MOTHER.tech's mission is to provide an AI render pipeline that powers modular creative tools, or "gens." Artists, photographers, or designers can turn their visual style into a one-tap tool for others to use. Users can select a generator, add their own photos, references, or text, and receive publish-ready results rapidly. The Degen app emphasizes speed, specificity, and the participatory side of internet culture, allowing users to remix and combine generators and share content privately.
