Artest: AI art contest app

What it does

Artest is a creative AI art contest platform launching today, from the bored creator of Aviary and Worth1000 (me). Figured it worked for me before (Adobe bought Aviary), so I may as well go back to the well again, because I'm ironically uncreative like that. 🤷‍♂️

It's available in 20+ languages on:

Problem -> Solution

LOL. Nope. it's not that kind of app. It's not solving world peace or e-cauterizing social workflows for agentic crypto synergy foreskins. We just run hilarious / fun contest themes and people can enter with some simple AI prompting right in the app. It's fun eye bleach in a world full of crappy news. That's really it.

Members can generate / upload art, submit entries, vote on their favorites, and bask in the glorious recognition of meaningless internet trophies 🏆 for images that an LLM actually made.

We have support for most major image generation LLMs built right in, with more being added each time my wife yells at me to get back to work.

Perfect for:

Anyone who is looking for a fun multiplayer app to procrastinate away hours of their time instead of working hard on their next startup. Just kidding. Don't actually do that.
