exploring the visual universe with creative intelligence — a new look for Asycd

Hi,

Asycd has a new home.

We’ve updated the look and feel of our website but we’ve also updated our focus: exploring the visual universe using creative intelligence.

What does this mean?

It means we are making our image generation technology more accessible, providing more tools to understand the world we live in such as the research we have planned (discussed later in this letter) and we’re using the research lab to legitimize that focus turning our core ideas relating to theme exploration and interpretation into models, apps and more.

We are also looking to work with clients to use AI to get more out of their work and content. Not just building websites but platforms that evolve, learn from user experiences, that understand you and your users.

More TEV2 access

The generation panel has a new look and two core models:

• gpt-image-2 — low, medium, and high quality
• Stable Diffusion 3.5

Generations are completely free for all models subject to daily limits.

AI search engine that reflects the way we think

We’re building a research engine for artists, poets, and thinkers: query a growing library of curated social chatter by theme, not search terms. It reads social, political, and financial noise as mood and metaphor.

From a live run — same pipeline, four articles:

• Cool Hunting → the open wound’s palette
• Designboom → Gehry’s museum ribcage
• (and alongside them: oil-skin textures, paywalled prose lock)

Currently in development with research to be conducted partly by our research lab.

Research Lab · Cohort 02

Applications open September; the cohort starts October 2026.

The internet keeps getting denser. Finding material that actually helps — for research, planning, making — is getting harder, not easier. Keyword search still treats the web like a filing cabinet. We want something closer to how people already think: mood, metaphor, theme, subtext.

That’s why Cohort 02 sits next to TEV2. TEV2 is how we explore visual worlds from a theme; the lab is how we learn to navigate the information world the same way — thematic, intuitive, usable. If we can understand the internet differently, artists, researchers, and builders get a clearer map of what’s happening and what to make next. Toward TEV3, that matters as much as the image stack itself.

Work will include serverless research agents, organizing content libraries, and frameworks that turn unstructured text into thematic categories you can navigate — and more. If you’re curious about data metaverses, creative systems, or a search layer that meets you halfway, this cohort is for you.

Solutions

Free consultations for people and teams building their own creative systems — dynamic sites, brand portfolios, workflows that keep taste in the loop. Bring a sketch or a half-working prototype; we’ll help wire it.

Explore the new site, try TEV2, or book a session from the homepage.
