SOTA+ is a next-generation graphic design tool, based on an Artificial Intelligence platform. The project started in 2020 with the aim of creating a platform for creativity, where anyone, regardless of skills, can generate their own graphic designs. The template generator has been launched into the public domain. With this tool, you can generate graphics in one click. It allows you to pre-select the style, the proportions of the image, and offers tools for final customization.
SOTA+ also allows you to automate the production of motion graphics. By learning from a series of static images, the tool is able to generate animations of any duration and resolution. It also learns from user feedback, which means it can better understand the user's requests. As a result, creative teams can visualize the images they come up with faster, increasing the efficiency of work on graphic concepts.
