The Creative Management Challenge

In today's AI-powered creative world, artists and designers face a unique challenge: how to effectively capture, organize, and retrieve insights from their AI art creations. AI tools like Midjourney have revolutionized how we create and explore visual concepts, but they've also created a new problem.
