Midjourney Inc., the San Francisco‑based artificial‑intelligence lab best known for its subscription‑based image‑generation service, announced that it completed the acquisition of the astrology application Co‑Star during the spring season. The company declined to disclose any financial terms of the transaction.
Co‑Star combines birth‑chart analysis with a mix of artificial‑intelligence algorithms and human‑written content to deliver personalized advice and compatibility assessments. The app is offered for free with optional paid features and, according to Sensor Tower data, records approximately 4.3 million monthly active users.
The acquisition will see Co‑Star’s founder, Banu Guler, retain control and strategic direction of the app while simultaneously joining Midjourney to help build the organization around product development and design. Midjourney’s founder, David Holz, noted that he first met Guler over five years ago and that they now converse for several hours each week.
Midjourney disclosed that it is currently pursuing eight projects split evenly between hardware and software initiatives. One highlighted hardware effort is a full‑body ultrasound machine intended for future installation in spa locations. Holz indicated that the company intends to announce roughly half a dozen similarly ambitious projects over the next six months, and that Co‑Star will benefit from expanded resources and teams to support these initiatives.
