Why choose Air over Omi
Omi solves a specific, high-value problem: producing photorealistic product visuals from 3D models without a photoshoot. But product imagery is only one part of what CPG and consumer brands create. Air manages the rest of the picture—campaigns, social, video, packaging, UGC, design files—w

Manage every asset your brand makes, not just product shots
Omi focuses on product imagery from a 3D model. Air organizes and activates everything else: campaign photography, social content, video, design files, UGC, and the product visuals Omi creates. For most CPG brands, PDP images are only a fraction of the work. Air gives the whole library one place to live, stay organized, and get found—and reused.
Every version, approval, and decision stays with the work
Omi’s source of truth is the 3D twin of a product. Air keeps the full creative record: version history, approvals, comments, and decisions tied to the asset itself. So when a regional team needs last quarter’s retailer-approved hero image—not an outdated draft—they can pull it up fast.

The governance layer between creation and market
Generating a product visual is fast. Getting brand, legal, and retail sign-off—and knowing which version is cleared for which channel—is where teams get stuck. Air keeps review, approval, and status attached to the asset, so nothing goes live without sign-off and nothing approved gets buried or replaced by an outdated draft.
Compare Air vs. Omi
Both platforms help CPG and consumer brands produce more with less. They solve fundamentally different parts of the problem.

How Air compares to Omi in real workflows
Omi is an impressive tool—and the brands using it, including L'Oréal, Clarins, and Uriage, aren’t making casual software decisions. Producing photorealistic product visuals from a 3D model at a fraction of the cost of a photoshoot is a real advantage. But once the image is created, the harder part begins: review, approval, reuse, and getting the right version to the right channel.

What Omi is great at
Omi removes the photoshoot bottleneck for physical product brands. Model a SKU once as a 3D digital twin, then generate product imagery for ecommerce, social, retail, and print in minutes. For CPG teams trying to create more product content on tighter budgets, that speed matters.
Where product content generation ends and creative operations begins
A generated product image still needs review, annotation, and approval—often from brand, legal, and retail partners. It has to live alongside campaign photography, social assets, video, and design files. And six months later, someone needs the exact version cleared for a specific retailer. That’s where content generation stops and creative operations takes over.

What starts to break as creative volume scales
As CPG brands produce more content across more channels, the gaps between generating assets and managing them get expensive:
Product visuals generated in Omi with no clear record
of which version was approved for which channel
Feedback spread across email, Slack, and spreadsheets instead of attached to the asset
Regional teams unable to find the latest approved imagery, so they reuse outdated files or ask for new ones
Campaign assets, UGC, video, and design files split across separate systems with no shared search or governance
Approved work that can’t be easily adapted or reused, leading to duplicated production across markets

Air gives every asset—whether it comes from Omi or anywhere else—a place to stay usable.
Tracks versions, approvals, and decisions across the full brand library
Makes approved work easy to find with AI search across visual content, transcripts, text, and metadata
Keeps feedback, annotations, and status tied directly to the asset
Connects the teams making the work with the teams adapting and distributing it
Helps teams multiply what’s already approved with AI editing, templates, and channel adaptation tools

How teams use Air and Omi together
The strongest CPG stacks cover both creation and control. Omi handles product imagery generation: modeling SKUs, producing channel-ready visuals, and reducing photoshoot costs. Air handles what comes next—and everything else the brand makes: organizing the full asset library, running review and approval, and helping teams find and reuse approved work across channels. Some teams start with Air to fix governance and findability first, then layer in generation tools like Omi. Others adopt Omi for product content and quickly realize they need a reliable home for the rest of their creative work. In both cases, Air is where work stays organized, approved, and ready to scale.

Air vs Omi FAQs
Omi generates photorealistic product imagery from 3D digital twins, eliminating the need for photoshoots. Air is a creative operations platform that manages the full lifecycle of every asset a brand creates—organizing, approving, and scaling work across teams and channels.
No. They solve different problems and work well together. Omi generates product visuals; Air manages, governs, and scales those visuals alongside every other asset the brand produces.
Teams that need to manage more than product imagery—campaigns, social content, video, UGC, design files—with version control, approvals, and search across the full creative library benefit most from Air. Teams whose primary challenge is replacing photoshoots with 3D-generated product content will find Omi purpose-built for that job.
Air moves assets through structured review and approval stages with annotations, version stacking, and tracked sign-offs attached to the work itself. Omi generates product visuals from a 3D model but doesn’t manage the downstream approval, distribution, or reuse workflow.
Yes. Air includes visual recognition, auto-tagging, facial recognition, OCR, video transcription, and conversational search—making assets findable based on what’s in them, not just filenames. This works across the entire creative library, not just one category of content.
Yes. Omi handles product imagery generation — creating channel-ready visuals from 3D models at a fraction of photoshoot cost. Air manages what comes next: review, approval, version control, and distribution across the full brand library. CPG teams running both get production speed from Omi and governance from Air.
