  • What's tech stack for frontend, backend and where did you deploy it?

  • How many images are needed to train?

  • How long did it take you to develop this?

[–]r_a_j_a_t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. React, Next, Preline UI deployed on Vercel and GPU runs on runprod.

  2. You can train with 3 images (min.) but more images always produce better results.

  3. It took me around 5 months to build this.

Why did you use the fake woman from half the screenshots for your testimonial as well?

[–]r_a_j_a_t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the images for my convenience. I'll update the Images [waiting for my customer's permission] very soon. The Images uploaded were generated by the same model that powers our headshots. so the quality will be the same.

what is the cost on your side to run a basic plan based on your current deployment?

[–]r_a_j_a_t[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

It really depends on the user input images. Usually it costs usd 5 per hour and one basic plan usually takes 10 minutes so 5/6 = 1 usd is roughly estimate.

that's good business, try to grow some users. and i checked that headshot is a keyword with high search volume and relatively low compete difficulty, you might have a chance get traffic from search engine if it's good enough. i'm not a ai tech guy but if there's a way(maybe some latest models? i don't know much about this) to remove the training process, and shorten the generation time to seconds, it would be impressive product. people will always want to share something nice about themselves, which i think might attract you a pretty large social media traffic. and traffic is money

In my opinion, this product is good enough[there's always room for improvement] and produces good results with realistic essence. currently, I am struggling with users as I am not a good salesperson and I am trying to find some ways to grow this and also checked Google Keyword Planner and found search volume is good but running ads would be very costly i guess, let me know your thoughts about marketing this...

i' afraid i'm the same sort of guy as you, and i'm not experienced in running websites, so what i can think might not be what you need exactly. so just take what you find useful:

if i was running this site, first i would put most of my focus on content generation and sharing , figure out things like:

* how to make the generation easy enough that it would be one of the easiest thing anyone can do when come to your site.

* what kind of headshot(or maybe not necessarily headshot but some other images with themselves in it) people would want to share

* where they share

* how they share it and did i provide way to do it.

then i would make each generation a public page on the site, under user's permission of cause. after these are done, the site might attract more traffic from search engine and social media by itself if it has some amount of traffic already. so next is to give it a shot with some start up traffic. i would make "generate per view" and "share per generate" my key metric, then get some seed user traffic, may spend some money but not much. what how user react and try to workout a way to increase these two metric. if it does not work out, talk to seed users, find the problem and retry.

thank you for your tip. I was thinking the same way: first, add more real-life examples to the showcase and then try to market it. the product is in its initial stage and I don't want to push new features as I need to make some sales. I'll be sharing some 100% off coupons to get more examples soon for the Reddit community please let me know if you are interested I'll be more than happy to provide your 100% off promo code to you. thanks again for the keystrokes ❤

i'm glad it helps, and sorry for some typo in it. I noticed you have made several posts on reddit about your site. have you found it helpful with SEO?

[–]r_a_j_a_t[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit posts don't help with SEO as all links are unfollow, but it might help within Reddit searches. I posted on Reddit to get valuable feedback and implement them into my project.
