**YOUR MACHINE. ARLO'S INFLUENCE.** You installed a new machine. You're proud of it. You want the world to see it — but you're not a photographer, not a copywriter, and you don't know which hashtags actually land in your industry. So you post a phone shot with a generic caption. And it gets lost. iMI: Lens fixes that. **SNAP → ENHANCE → POST** Point your camera at your equipment. ARLO does the rest. In seconds, your shop floor photo becomes a professional studio-quality image — clean background, polished lighting, trade-show ready. Then ARLO writes the caption. The right tone. The right specs. The right tags. Your machine looks as impressive online as it does on the floor. **BUILT FOR MANUFACTURING** For the machine tool dealer showcasing new inventory on LinkedIn. The distributor announcing a cell installation. The OEM rep whose equipment deserves better than a phone snap. The shop owner proud of a new 5-axis and ready to show it off. iMI: Lens is the marketing tool your industry never had. - **Machine Tools** — shop floor hero, trade show, cell & line install, controller detail, privacy scrubbing for customer floors - **Fun Styles** — Pixar 3D, Studio Ghibli, Watercolor & more — make your equipment stop the scroll **POWERED BY ARLO** ARLO (Adaptive Reasoning & Logical Operations) is Multiaxis Intelligence's AI — built to see your subject, understand it, and present it at its best. Not a filter. Not a preset. An AI that reads light, texture, and form to create something worth posting. **BEFORE/AFTER VIDEO** One tap creates a social-ready Before/After video — perfect for LinkedIn, Reels, and TikTok. Includes your caption as a branded slide. Customize timing in Settings to match your style. **FREE & PREMIUM** Free: 2 enhancements per day, Machine Tools templates, pre-defined captions. Premium ($2.99/month): 10 enhancements per day, Fun Styles templates, ARLO AI captions, priority processing, and customizable category view. **AI DISCLOSURE** All enhanced images are AI-generated interpretations of your original photo. ARLO is an artist, not an engineer — results are stunning, but they are ARLO's vision of your subject, not a pixel-perfect reproduction. *The Power of MULTIAXIS® with the Intelligence of ARLO™* Terms of Use: https://multiaxis.ai/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://multiaxis.ai/privacy.html
