So imagine if you could smell a photo, not just see it, but actually smell it.

Like someone sends you a picture of fresh coffee and your phone releases that exact aroma.

Sounds like sci-fi, right?

Well, a company called Osmo just figured out how to teach AI about smell.

Welcome, humans, to the latest episode of The Neuron Podcast.

I'm Corey Knowles, editor of The Neuron, and we're joined, as always, by the writer of The Neuron Daily AI newsletter, Grant Harvey.

It's a pleasure to have you.

Awesome.

Well, I guess first question that everyone's going to be wondering, what does it mean to digitize smell?

Hey everyone, today I'm excited to tell you about Flora, the AI canvas used by creative teams like Base Design and Pentagram.

It makes it easier for designers to generate campaign visuals, treatments, and final deliverable assets in just minutes.

Unlike mid-journey or runway, Flora gives full workflow control so creative teams can ideate, iterate, and refine with precision, all in one canvas.

If you're a designer or an agency looking to scale ideas with a high degree of creative control, check out florafauna.ai.

That's F-L-O-R-A-F-A-U-N-A dot A-I.

Check them out today and tell them the neurons sent you.

So in 2024, you achieved scent teleportation.

That's right.

It was a fresh cut plum, from what I understand.

And what happened that day?

What was that day like?
