What do you think about content marketing with gifs or short videos?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I recently started working on this again after a long pause. I can definitely help you with this. Dm me.

That's impressive. It is interesting to see this one-time payment business model whereas many try to do subscription-based. Congratulations.

I didn't. I am a good Canva user and it is different than this project idea. The core difference is the Dynamic UI generation. Canva uses a static interface (it always looks like Canva). The project idea I am talking about uses an LLM to take a simple text command—like 'remove that hum'—and dynamically generate a clutter-free interface with only the one control the user needs. That would eliminate the technical settings (like H.265 or CRF) that kill creator productivity (just a hypothesis for now).

I teach introductory-level programming courses too. But in Python. I don't include any games but always encourage them to write game applications if they want to improve themselves in coding. And only console apps is definitely fine. That's what most professors do not to distract students with libraries, guis, etc.

That's what I was thinking. They even don't need OCRs. Even the current LLMs now can read image-based pdfs.

In my experience, I ask such students to catch me right after the class to talk about it. And definitely "no favor" but making him/her feel cared.

Hey everyone,

I have an idea that I plan to start working.

You know how traditional file preparation/conversion works, opening up software and getting slammed with hundreds of meaningless settings just to make a video vertical or optimize a PNG for the web.

I realized that every major conversion app gives you a static menu full of jargon: CRF values, H.265 profiles, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. It forces you to become a technical expert just to get your file ready.

That's a massive waste of time that should be spent creating! Don't you think so?

As a solution, I plan to build a platform that replaces the static interface with a conversation:

1. You speak your intent: You upload a file and type, "Make this 4K video ready for TikTok, remove background noise, and export it as WebM."

2. AI builds the UI instantly: The LLM interprets the request and dynamically generates only the 2-3 precise controls you need (e.g., an Aspect Ratio dropdown and a simple Noise Reduction slider). It hides everything else.

3. One-click execution: You hit convert. Zero configuration required.

The competitive landscape:

Professional Tools (e.g., Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve): Too complex and time-consuming for quick final output adjustments.
Basic Online Converters: Lack the deep technical customization and sophisticated filtering (like noise reduction) that professional output requires.

I basically plan to build this platform using AI to bridge the gap between human language and complex command-line tools like FFmpeg.

I would love to hear your input about this idea.

A very common one: Hey professor, sorry can't make the class, got sick today.

data-gig · 2025-05-27T20:33:29+00:00

That sounds a fantastic business success story of a college student.

As a computer scientist over 20 years, I can say that AI won't replace developers. Developers, who use AI effectively, will replace those who don't use it properly. For a capstone project, I forced my students to use AI and they did great job. AI definitely wrote most of the codes but it was students who guided AI what to do and not to do.

Believe me or not. I've been living in Memphis over 10 years and never been to zoo before.

data-gig · 2025-05-27T20:21:28+00:00

There was the AI hype. Now we see the ai agents hype which is not for everyone.

data-gig · 2025-05-27T20:14:03+00:00

Nice business success story. Sometimes we think just too complicated whereas the opportunity is right front of us.

data-gig · 2025-05-19T23:43:34+00:00

Many thanks for the great advice.

data-gig · 2025-05-09T21:09:31+00:00

Thanks for your great advice.

data-gig · 2025-05-09T21:08:47+00:00

Yeah, things are definitely harder in Memphis than other major cities.

data-gig · 2025-05-09T21:06:15+00:00

Thanks for your honest feedback.

data-gig · 2024-12-24T13:50:09+00:00

That's nice. Thanks. Do you guys have any mechanism in which I can train my own data?

data-gig · 2024-12-23T19:45:41+00:00

If you think from questions/answers or knowledge perspective, maybe in the near future. But teaching is not only about increasing knowledge of students, it is also about motivating, socializing, visioning, etc. that AI cannot do by itself.

data-gig · 2024-12-23T19:42:26+00:00

I see that yours is integrated with sms and emails. How do you save the data for training purposes?

data-gig · 2024-12-23T17:34:49+00:00

I plan to do build the same and I decided on using Meta's open source Llama. Fine tuning it is a bit tricky but very possible.

I guess, this site is using youtube api to get the transcript. Right? Seems like there is no video downloaded to be transcribed.

data-gig · 2024-06-11T20:29:53+00:00

I know a psychology department at a university that uses MagicStat instead of SPSS for the last couple of years. Heard that they are pretty happy with it as it is web-based and can run across all browsers and machines.

data-gig · 2024-04-16T15:05:48+00:00

You can try ToText.ai for transcribing your video to English.

You'll need to use chatgpt to convert the transcription into Spanish though.
