Superpose functions as a digital director for amateur subjects. By analyzing the camera’s viewfinder, the app generates four distinct posing suggestions to help users frame their shots. While some outputs lean toward the uncanny, the startup is prioritizing authentic memory capture over the fantastical, AI-generated backgrounds common in competing apps. Since its July debut, the tool has seen over 22,000 downloads and 190,000 generated poses.

Former TikTok staffers launch AI app to fix your photography
Frustrated by her husband’s inability to capture a decent portrait, former TikTok product lead Melody Chu teamed up with engineer Jing Liu to build Superpose. The new iOS app leverages generative AI to provide real-time posing guidance, turning the often awkward process of being photographed into a structured, coached experience.
The business model relies on a freemium structure, offering five daily AI generations at no cost, with additional packs available for $2.99 or $9.99. To support development, the founders secured $2.2 million in funding from backers including Khosla Ventures and Meitu. Chu and Liu are currently refining the app’s personalization features and coaching logic to ensure the AI suggestions feel more natural for everyday photography.
