Midjourney, the company best known for turning text prompts into AI-generated images, just announced something nobody had on their bingo card: a full-body ultrasonic scanner.
It’s the company’s first hardware product. Midjourney is also working on four additional hardware projects and four new software projects, all currently listed as TBA on its website.
From AI art to medical imaging
Midjourney quietly signed a licensing agreement with Butterfly Network back in November 2025, securing exclusive rights to Butterfly’s ultrasound-on-chip technology for a range of applications.
The company paid $15 million upfront, committed to $10 million in annual licensing fees, and agreed to up to $9 million in milestone payments plus revenue sharing on any hardware that actually ships.
