Shader

Shader, a new self-expression with AI. Shader app lets anyone develop AI effects and AR filters that they can use across Shader’s social graph, or post to other apps like Instagram. Traditionally, developing an AR filter was a desktop activity, requiring coding experience and design experience. With Shader, anyone can create a filter using text, taps, or their voice. It provides a new way to make videos with its AI-first video creation tool that anyone can use. Shader was founded by Darya Sesitskaya (AR Platform Design Lead at Snap). The app is currently in private beta. The company has raised $580k from Betaworks, Greycroft, Differential Ventures, Mozilla Ventures, and On Deck.
