In plain English

ToonThis takes a selfie and restyles it as a cartoon, a funny exaggerated portrait, a big-head chibi figure, a crochet doll, or another art style, and it does that very quickly. The iPhone app is offered in many languages. People pay a subscription because they want that version of themselves without drawing it. Almost all of the restyling and the billing is done by the AI. The person running ToonThis still checks quality, helps users, and reaches them through the phone app store.
