I built an app that automatically creates videos and posts them to Tiktok. The goal is for users to be able to build an audience automatically then make passive income via ad revenue, affiliates, etc.

Can you give me some feedback about the features necessary for such an app, or my positioned value prop, especially if you've had success running and monetizing channels on Youtube/Tiktok?

Thank you :)


Quality has been tested against every other service and matches or outperforms them.

Many of the current users are native speakers, and every day I work with them to get it better accustomed to what they're expecting

I put a live demo on the site though - I encourage you to verify this yourself!


Sadly my non-English language skills are not developed enough for me to be a good judge. I think you'll usually be selling to people who don't have the language skills to evaluate quality. Some kind of independent analysis of quality could help.


I agree, and I actually do have people who are native speakers and not interested in the project that I work with. Hopefully with some time it can be something substantial


That's great to hear - lmk if you've got any questions in the meantime!


Thanks for the feedback, you bring some good points to the table.

Did you try the demo on the landing page and notice considerable latency/accuracy slip ups?


Hey, thanks for the feedback!

The character limit for an api call is 3000. I put it in the docs but could probably make it more obvious.

The context driven for higher accuracy is referencing what's going on under the hood, but on second thought it doesn't make much sense to put that there if I'm not going in depth about the under the hood stuff. I'll take that out.

35 character is quite short, you're right. I'll double it. The reason it was so short was arbitrary. I made it 100 now.

If you've got anything else send it over !


To the first question: A mix of both really. When you have a service this widespread, like translations, there's a lot in the vertical integration that can be more efficient. I mean, the project initiated from a different startup I built as a workaround for the cloud providers. It just evolved from that bottom-up thinking.

Thanks! Just for clarity, are you talking about the work experience, living situation, or startup ventures?


All of the above!


Okay! I'm still kinda new here, what exactly are you looking for? You could also reach out on twitter and we could talk more specifically


Awesome!


Also, please hit me with any feedback, specifically for the documentation clarity and call quality.

My goal is to keep fundamental utilities and accessibility tools like translation services in the hands of small creators rather than some mega corporation, so I'm open to any improvement that can make that a reality.

Any chance you can include Burmese language?


I tried to, but the quality just isn't there. Eventually I'd like to, only if I can get the accuracy down.


Someone may have said it, but the DoorDash guys acted as their first drivers until they couldn't anymore


I think the reproduction of recognized watermarks is hilarious.

I could see some kind of trend emerging as a competition to replace the watermarks as closely as possible to the real thing without it actually being the real thing just for the joke, an argued original work. Kinda like Nathan For You's Dumb Starbucks becoming some viral hit just by changing one word, could see some bored anti-establishment dudes following a similar path.
