Midjourney is a generative artificial intelligence program and service created and hosted by the San Francisco–based independent research lab Midjourney, Inc. Midjourney generates images from natural language descriptions, called prompts, similar to OpenAI's DALL-E and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion.^[1]^[2] It is one of the technologies of the AI boom.

The tool is currently in open beta, which it entered on July 12, 2022.^[3] The Midjourney team is led by David Holz, who co-founded Leap Motion.^[4] Holz told The Register in August 2022 that the company was already profitable.^[5] Users create artwork with Midjourney using Discord bot commands.^[6]
