## About Mago

Mago is a Paris-based AI-native software company founded in 2024, specializing in video-to-video style transfer technology.

Its main product, Mago Studio, is a fully controllable AI video production engine that transforms and stylizes videos, including live-action films and 3D animations, into various aesthetics while maintaining motion and structure. This tool streamlines production workflows for animation, film, game cinematics, and advertising, significantly reducing costs for stylized content. The company was established by industry veterans Alvaro Lamarche Toloza and Aleksandr Spirin, aiming to empower video artists with professional-grade style transfer technology. Mago offers its software as both cloud-based and on-premise solutions, catering to creative professionals and independent artists. The company targets animation studios, VFX teams, film producers, game developers, and advertising agencies, making high-quality stylized content creation more accessible. Mago's prototype, WarpFusion, gained considerable attention, captivating over 150 million viewers on social media before its official market launch planned for early 2025.
