FOTOhub.app evolves into Creative AI OS - one system with 200+ AI models, Gabriel AI orchestrator, and IDA AI audio model. $8.6M funding, $180M valuation, 750K+ users.
Summary
FOTOhub.app, a Polish Creative AI platform with over 750,000 users in 40+ countries, officially evolves from an image generation tool into a full-fledged Creative AI OS: an operating system for creators that integrates 200+ AI models from 10+ providers in one workspace. The entire system is orchestrated by Gabriel AI, a proprietary orchestrator that understands user intent and routes tasks to the appropriate models and modules.

What is Creative AI OS
Creative AI OS is the concept of an "operating system for creation" - one unified interface that combines generation, editing, automation, and publishing of visual, audio, and text content. Instead of switching between multiple apps, creators have access to all tools from a single dashboard.
"Creative AI OS. One system for everything."
The problem it solves
Digital creators juggle 5-8 separate subscriptions (Midjourney, Runway, Canva, Suno, and others), generating costs of $80-120/month and requiring constant context switching. FOTOhub integrates the same capabilities in one platform at a fraction of the price.
12 modules of Creative AI OS

1. AI Image Generation
