| Hi HN, We recently made a deliberate decision to rebrand our AI product from Kinkora to Conut. This wasn’t about marketing or aesthetics. It came from a shift in how we understood the real problem creators face. When we first launched, we focused heavily on prompting — helping users get better results from a specific model. Over time, we noticed a pattern: Most friction didn’t come from starting a generation, but from what happens after. People wanted to: Compare outputs across models Enhance or extend generated images Turn results into videos or new variations Iterate without starting from scratch Prompting alone didn’t solve that. So alongside the rebrand, we: Redesigned parts of the UI around iteration, not one-shot generation Added support for more models and creative modes Started building toward an editor-style workflow, where post-generation control is first-class Conut is still early, but the direction is now clearer:
AI as a creative workspace, not a prompt box. Happy to answer questions or hear critiques — especially from anyone building tools in the creative or AI space. |
