Transform Your Photos into Stunning Art!

ChatGPT's latest update makes it possible to upload any image (of any type) without specifying what the subject is and generate another variation.

Here's an example from a user (ldjconfirmed) who uploaded a realistic capybara photo and turned into a cool animated variant.

You can do something like this too in 3 quick steps:

• Upload Your Fav Pic: Got a cool photo? Maybe your headshot or a selfie? Upload it!

• Dream Up a Style: Tell ChatGPT to morph your photo into a different style. Think: your cat as a cartoon or your house as a watercolor.

• Fine-Tune: Chat away to make little tweaks. We'll fine-tune it till you’re grinning!

  So go ahead and start transforming your photos!

Growth Case Study 📈 

From Backyard Dreamer to Gaming Tycoon

Back in 2001, a Cambridge university graduate named Andrew Gower had an idea - to create an online game that was accessible, engaging & fun.

That idea manifested into Runescape, a fantasy massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) that took the online gaming world by storm.

So what made Runescape so special?

For starters, it was one of the first browser-based MMORPGs, allowing players to play without having to download any software. The game was praised for its vast world, quests, skills system and player interaction.

But the real USP was its accessibility - Runescape could run on virtually any computer and internet connection. This opened the doors for casual gamers worldwide to explore MMORPGs.

Growth Levers:

• Word of mouth among students and teens

• Continuous improvements to gameplay and content

• Transition to free-to-play model

• Mobile version opened the game to other demographics

Runescape became the largest free MMORPG globally with over 200 Mn+ users. Revenues came from memberships which unlocked more content.

Actionable Insights:

• Identify an underserved niche and build an accessible product for them

• Retain users through regular fresh content and features

• Monetize through freemium model 

• Expand to unexplored platforms like mobile

Through his unwavering commitment to accessibility and constant innovation, Andrew Gower created one of the most profitable online games ever.

RuneScape, with its 245 Mn + adventurers — triple the size of Britain’s population has raked in a cool $1B+ revenue till date.

Andrew? He's sitting pretty with a net worth of $680 Mn.
