When the World Is Your Oyster

Squaring the AI circle

Greetings from LHC HQ, where the #random Slack channel has become increasingly contentious as we debate the precise meaning of men’s “smart casual” when it comes to wedding attire.

AI and the Vicious Circle

AI has an image problem. And we’re not talking about Sam Altman’s choice in sunglasses.  

Get the Look! The Vuarnet Altitude 01 Matte sunglasses are available for purchase.

Part of that image problem has to do with trust — as soon as your much-vaunted super intelligence recommends eating “at least one small rock per day”, as Google’s AI Overview infamously suggested, your brand starts to get tarnished.  

The other problem is visual. How many variations on a circle can one industry produce before you become hypnotized with boredom?

So when Lighthouse Creative was charged with creating a new identity, visual presence, and comprehensive social media strategy for Perle.ai, we were very excited to break the cycle of circles.

Perle didn’t come to us as Perle. They came as Kiva.ai — smart team, powerful tech, fuzzy brand. Their product was doing important work in AI and unstructured data, but it wasn’t breaking through. They needed clarity. They needed direction. They needed a story.

So we rolled up our sleeves and did what we do best: dig deep, get strategic, and build something that connects.
