What it actually is

Momo is an AI-powered photo and video generator that creates realistic headshots, avatars, and styled portraits from your selfies. It's marketed for job applications, social media, and dating profiles, and includes features like aging simulations, couple photos, and fantasy filters. Users upload selfies to train a personal AI model that generates new images in various styles.

Momo's public profile includes privacy controls: ensure your generated images and AI profile are not shared publicly without consent. Review privacy and data-retention policies at momoai.co/privacy before uploading selfies, as facial data is used to train your personal AI model. Be mindful that generated images claimed as real photos on dating or professional platforms can mislead others.
