Founded by Marly and Ben Conley, Othr was created with a clear purpose: to empower a new generation of creatives by providing a platform that truly priorities AI assets. As artists who embrace technology, we are optimistic about the impact generative AI will have on the commercial image-making landscape. We believe that early adopters of this technology deserve a place to call home. Likewise, creatives and brands looking to harness AI should have a reliable and accessible platform to source content—saving time and energy while elevating their creative expression. That’s why OTHR exists—to provide an online platform and the support you need to unleash your creativity.

Creativity has always transcended technological advancements. Photography disrupted painting, digital photography overtook analog and Photoshop transformed image-making forever. Now, we find ourselves in a new era. Whatever your stance on generative AI, we believe it’s here to stay and will continue to evolve. While some may worry about technology’s impact on creativity, we see it as an opportunity—one that enhances, rather than diminishes, artistic expression. We are not concerned with the mechanics, but rather the output. Does the finished work move us emotionally, inspire us, and elevate the experience? This is the true question of art and if history can teach us anything, it's that creative techniques can co-exist.

As technology evolves, so do we. We embrace innovation with an open mind and are committed to continuously improving our platform. If you have suggestions, we’d love to hear them—because we’re building this with you, and for you.
