Picsart now lets you 'hire' AI agents for various tasks

Picsart, the popular AI-powered design platform, has launched an innovative AI agent marketplace.

The new feature allows creators to "hire" AI assistants for specific tasks such as resizing and remixing social content or editing product photos on Shopify.

With over 130 million users globally, mostly from Gen Z, Picsart is like a more advanced version of Canva for social media managers and content creators.

AI agents can take over tasks like personal assistant

The launch of the AI agent marketplace comes at a time when projects like OpenClaw have increased demand for agentic AI chatbots. These bots can perform tasks like a personal assistant.

Hovhannes Avoyan, Picsart founder and CEO, said, "Creators have been stuck as the operator of every workflow — the one doing, not deciding."

He added that their agents change this relationship by allowing users to set direction while the agent builds a plan using real data.

Initial 4 agents specialize in different areas

Picsart will introduce more specialized agents weekly. The initial four are Flair, Resize Pro, Remix, and Swap.

The Flair agent integrates with Shopify to assist online store owners by analyzing market trends and suggesting improvements for their shops.

Resize Pro can resize images and videos for various platforms' recommended dimensions using AI to extend the frame if needed.

These agents can perform various editing tasks

The Remix agent lets creators describe a style and edit an existing photo library to fit within that theme.

The Swap agent allows users to change backgrounds of photos in bulk.

For agents like Flair, which work behind the scenes, users can chat with these agents on WhatsApp or Telegram thanks to Picsart's integration with those apps.

Autonomy levels' introduced to prevent issues with agents

To prevent potential issues with AI agents, Picsart lets users set "autonomy levels" for agents like Flair.

This gives the option of needing creator approval before any action is taken.

As for subscription plans, like many other AI tools, Picsart offers a free plan with limited AI credits each week.

However, users can get more capacity by subscribing to premium plans starting at around $10 per month when billed annually.
