A futuristic digital illustration representing Proofig AI, featuring a central glowing launchpad emitting radiant beams of teal and blue light. From the launchpad, a network of illuminated nodes connects to many fully visible scientific images, including microscopy visuals and Western blots. The background has a sleek gradient in cool tones, with the Proofig AI logo prominently displayed at the top center and the tagline 'Create Your Own Personalized Image Repository' beneath it. The overall style is modern, high-tech, and scientific.
