## What is neaou?

Some moments deserve more than a caption.

neaou turns a photograph into a poem. Open the camera or choose a picture, and a few quiet seconds later a verse appears — written for the light, the mood, and the small details only that image holds.

This is not a noisy app. It is built like an ink-wash painting: ivory paper, hand-drawn brushstrokes, a single vermilion seal, and a slow, unhurried rhythm. A place to slow down and look again.

THE EXPERIENCE
• Snap a photo or pick one from your library
• A poem composes itself, line by line, before your eyes
• Every poem is saved on its own — no buttons, no clutter
• Share a finished verse as a quietly beautiful poem card

MAKE IT YOURS
• Seven poem forms: Haiku, Short Poem, Five-Line, Free Verse, Prose Poetry, Sonnet — or "As the Scene," where the poet reads the image and decides
• Nine moods, from Tranquil and Nostalgic to Passionate and Hopeful — or let the scene set its own tone
• Write in Chinese, English, Japanese, French, or Spanish
• Eight AI poets to choose from, each with its own voice

YOUR POEMS, KEPT
Finished poems gather in a horizontal handscroll gallery — a hand-bound album you can scroll through by month, like turning the pages of a notebook you actually want to reread.

A LIVING HOME SCREEN
The background shifts with the real weather where you are — falling leaves on a clear day, rain, wind, or drifting snow. Choose warm ivory, cool moonstone, or autumn paper tones with drifting ginkgo leaves.

FREE TO BEGIN
Start with 30 free credits and a choice of AI poets — no account, no sign-up. Upgrade to neaou Pro for 1,500 monthly credits, all eight poets, and the option to top up anytime.

A NOTE ON YOUR PHOTOS
To compose a poem, the photo you choose is sent through our server to third-party AI services. It is used only to write that one poem, then discarded — never stored. You are asked before this ever happens, and your identity stays anonymous.

The home screen has been redrawn, stroke by stroke.

• Falling leaves now ride real aerodynamics — fluttering, drifting, resting a moment on passing breezes

Small refinements throughout.
