Magick ML

Project Overview

The Product
Magick ML is a comprehensive node-based AI-Development Environment (AIDE). This tool is a new kind of visual programming language for the creation, integration, deployment, and management of AI Agents.

My Role
As the Chief Design Officer, I led the design strategy, oversaw the design team, and ensured the product met high standards of usability and aesthetic appeal.

Target Audience
Creative professionals looking to create bespoke solutions for AI characters and other agentive systems.

The Problem
Custom, integrated AI Agent development is time-consuming, expensive, and technically complex. As such, this project tackled numerous complexities beyond the AIDE itself, from user onboarding to the management of Templates and Agents in a personal portal.

The Goal
To create an all-in-one AI building platform that streamlines creativity, fosters collaboration, and enhances overall productivity for creative professionals incorporating AI into their work.
