Summary
Co-Star’s roughly 24 employees have joined Midjourney after the AI lab acquired the social astrology app, with financial terms undisclosed.
About 4.3 million monthly active users make Co-Star one of the larger consumer apps in Midjourney’s orbit, bringing a product built around birth charts, horoscopes and compatibility advice.
Co-Star already mixes AI with human-written content, giving Midjourney a team experienced in shipping consumer-facing software rather than only running its Discord-based image and video tools.
The deal fits Midjourney’s broader push beyond its core generators, and the incoming app talent could help it finally build a standalone app.
