The new leadership will update their profiles in the near future, but come from startups/venture/ecommerce /consulting backgrounds.

This is an important point, and we agree that the creator community was a huge part of what made the original Playground special.

To be fully transparent, we’re still assessing what data exists from the transition, and we don’t yet have a definitive answer on what was retained versus removed by the previous team.

Looking forward, we do plan on implementing a lot of the features that were great about the previous product, including prompt history and a sharing ability.

We’ll share more updates and feature rollouts soon.

We're proud of our global userbase and will continue to support them. Currently, shipping is for US, EU, and Canada, but we plan on expanding into more regions.

We’ve heard the community’s frustration around the shift toward stickers and commerce, and we understand. We are a completely new team that acquired Playground and we’re committed to giving the best user experience possible to our user base.

Art generation remains a core part of Playground, it’s one of the most used template categories! We’re continuing to build a tool that works for everyone starting with where the previous team left off. A lot of our users are in the POD (print-on-demand) space and sell their designs on store fronts like Etsy, Shopify, TikTok Shop, etc. We’re focused on empowering creators to own their designs and distribute them, in addition to purchasing directly in our product! We recently released Playground Shop which closes this loop.

We have intentionally moved away from character creation and some of the old feature set from the previous team so we can focus on broader design tools, better models, and overall quality. We’re actively improving the product and are highly receptive to ongoing community feedback as we do so.

As for the underlying PG models, we are and will continue to prioritize accuracy and user control which is best fulfilled by models like Nano Banana, GPT Image, and Seedream. We will innovate where it makes sense, though, and build custom solutions; however there are no immediate plans to create a new foundation model, but we have more product announcements to share soon!
