AI Company Midjourney Acquires Astrology App Co-Star

AI company Midjourney announced its acquisition of personalized astrology app Co-Star on Thursday, as previously reported by Bloomberg. The deal marks an expansion for Midjourney, a company known for its AI image generation tools, into the astrology sector.

Co-Star provides users with daily horoscopes and compatibility readings with friends. The app utilizes a combination of human insight, data from NASA, and AI to deliver personalized astrological advice. The financial terms of the acquisition, which reportedly closed in the spring, have not been disclosed.

Midjourney, which has evolved from generating AI images of cats to producing full-body ultrasound scans, is now entering the realm of astrology. Co-Star founder Banu [Last Name] is mentioned in relation to the deal, though specific roles following the acquisition are not detailed.

This strategic move by Midjourney suggests an ambition to leverage its AI capabilities in new markets. The integration of an astrology service could indicate a focus on combining creative AI tools with personal guidance and wellness applications.
