Midjourney Storytelling Lab

We’re a small group of researchers at Midjourney building expressive, approachable, and controllable tools for AI-supported storytelling. Current lab projects focus on collaborative worldbuilding, comics generation, and new interaction techniques for steering the generation of story text. Recent work by lab members has been published at HCI and AI conferences including CHI, UIST, IUI, C&C, and ACL.
