AI lab Midjourney acquires astrology app Co-Star as part of its expansion beyond image and video generation, according to multiple reports. Bloomberg and TechCrunch both say the company has bought Co-Star, a popular astrology app, signaling a broader push into new product areas. The acquisitions comes after Midjourney previously communicated ambitions to expand its business. Bloomberg adds that Midjourney is also building its first standalone image-generation app. The company’s move suggests it intends to develop dedicated software products rather than focusing solely on existing image-generation capabilities. While details of the acquisition terms were not provided in the cited reports, the overall direction is consistent: Midjourney is diversifying and investing in additional app experiences. Taken together, the reports indicate that Midjourney is combining growth in adjacent consumer-app markets with continued development of its own independent image-generation offering.
