Persona AI (RealYou AI)

Persona AI is an iOS photo app from Walter Labs, Inc. that lets you generate realistic images of yourself without a professional shoot. It now ships under the name RealYou AI - Photos of You on the App Store, though the underlying product and app ID are the same: you upload a batch of selfies, the app trains a personal model, and you then ask for photos of yourself in whatever style or setting you can describe.

The workflow is deliberately simple. Rather than browsing a fixed catalogue of styles, you type the scene you want — a professional headshot, a dated-looking casual phone photo, a historical character, a cinematic frame — and the model produces images that keep your likeness consistent while matching that brief. The training set is small, roughly a dozen to twenty selfies, which keeps onboarding short and means no photo-editing skills are required.

It is worth being clear about the pricing reality. The App Store lists the app as free with in-app purchases, and training your own Persona is quoted at about $4.99 per week in the listing; a large share of user reviews complain that the paywall appears before any generation happens, and some report issues buying additional credits. Ratings sit around 4.3 from a few hundred reviews, so the output quality is generally well received, but budget-minded users should verify the current paywall before downloading.
