The AI tool works by intensely studying a product image and instantly generating a text description.

“We can do this really quickly — we can generate thousands of them (product descriptions) within seconds,” says Hypotenuse AI founder Joshua Wang.

The tool’s prowess is a testament to the rapid advance of AI-generated writing during the past year, according to Wang.

“One year ago a lot of the things that we are doing now were not even possible,” Wang says. “And some of the things that we see are becoming possible today — we didn’t expect it for one or two years’ time.” I n other AI-generated writing news:
