Picai - Smart AI Camera

App for recommending filters

As its name implies, Picai Smart AI Camera is a free photography app that uses AI to detect the subject and provide the appropriate filter recommendations. Unlike other camera apps such as Selfie Camera - Beauty Camera Photo Editor and Beauty Camera Pro, the filter selection is presented in split-screen mode so you don’t have to sift through menus to choose the perfect filter.

Despite Picai Smart AI Camera’s advanced AI algorithm, it is prone to detection errors. For instance, the app mistakes the wall for a floor. In addition, using it for extended periods can overheat your device.

Easily find the perfect filter

AI is and will be a significant part of our lives. If you’re looking for an app that can help you find the right filter, look no further than Picai Smart AI Camera. Through the utilization of its advanced  AI algorithms, it detects the subject of your photo through manual or auto detection and provides several filters for you to choose from. 

The filters presented are in split-screen format, giving you a preview of how your photo will look like. To browse through the filters, swipe your finger upwards or tap the arrow button on either side of the screen. To apply it, swipe your finger to the left or right. Filter strength—which is located at the bottom of the screen—can be adjusted by moving the slider. 

As for the brightness option, you need to tap the screen to make it appear on the right side of the screen—though it would be better if it appeared alongside the filter strength slider for the user’s convenience. Other than that, you can enable flash, put a grid, or use the blur effect. However, it’s not perfect since it incorrectly detects animal fur as textile.

Great but not perfect

Picai Smart AI Camera is a notch above all other apps in the market. It detects the subject of your photo and provides tons of recommended filters for you to apply. The brightness and filter strength are adjustable, too. However, the app’s AI algorithms are prone to detection errors as well as overheating issues. The latter occurs when it is used for a long period of time.
