In September 2023, LimeWire bought BlueWillow, a [[generative artificial intelligence]] tool, and became a place to share images and videos created with it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fried |first=Ina |date=September 20, 2023 |title=LimeWire is back — but this time, it's all about AI |url=https://www.axios.com/2023/09/20/limewire-ai-buys-bluewillow |access-date=November 29, 2023 |website=Axios}}</ref>

In 2025, it also acquired snapdrop.net and sharedrop.io, two similar but unrelated services which allowed instant file sharing over a [[local network]].
