Leave AI out, add more joy... THEZZLE, a creative commission platform

[Financial News] You can directly commission an artist you like to draw your character. Fans call this kind of custom creative request a “commission.” A platform has launched that aims to connect people through these transactions without AI, using only human creators.
KX Innovation subsidiary XO Communications Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Eun-kyung) said on the 2nd that it had launched a beta version of the web service for THEZZLE, a commission-matching platform connecting creators with fans (clients).
THEZZLE is a platform specializing in creative commissions, where people can commission and trade custom-made works in fields such as illustration, writing, crafts, design and sound directly with one another (C2C). The brand name combines the ideas of “adding” and “enjoying,” reflecting its aim to create an ecosystem where creators and fans alike gain greater enjoyment and value as creative activity grows.

THEZZLE has adopted an “Anti-AI” stance, saying it aims to protect the unique value of human creators in an environment where generative AI has become widespread. It introduced an “AI-generated content detection system” to identify images automatically generated by AI and an “AI-free certification program,” so fans can confidently collect works made by people themselves.
The platform also offers communication features for users. Its one-to-one chat, which supports real-time read receipts and automatic translation into foreign languages, allows creators and clients to exchange ideas easily.

Founding creators from various fields, including illustration, fan art and derivative works, are taking part in the beta launch. Artist Nana-gom, a character IP creator who also serves as CCO of Panella, and artist Dongdong, who gained popularity in webtoons and emoticons with the character “Bolppangppang Jjiba,” have joined as official ambassadors.
