What they shipped

  • From its YC profile: Palette is a self-improving AI-native media platform built by MIT computer scientists and multimodal researchers that unifies the creative workflow into a single generation engine. We eliminate tool and context fragmentation for creative and marketing teams in enterprises and allow content creators to transform static assets into controllable, repeatable, and self-improving workflows in order to autonomously improve quality and revenue growth.

  • Its own site describes it as: "Generate, edit, and storyboard multimodal content on one canvas, shaped for every audience and format." (source)
