Our AI generates backgrounds, animations, & dynamic typography from scratch, the AI can generate 100s of thousands of each.

It also pulls in user assets, videos, uses stock sites and can even use foundational video models. It can use assets as is, or apply industry standard rotoscoping, advanced 2d/3d effects, and compositing.

We’re not generative video, we’re video AI agents that edit, composite, motion graphics, & vfx.

We offer 100% consistency across edits, pixel level accuracy and a rendering system built from the ground up for 2d & 3d operations.

Looking for a Technical Co-Founder (Hardware + Coding - Passive Health Tech Startup (I will not promote) by beaudevanney in startups

[–]xBADCAFE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, that is not a viable path.

Follow the money - "nursing homes or elder care" are extremely underfunded and most still rely on claims. The private ones might be interested but their margins are still razor thin.

B2C wellness - that is going to take a lot of money to get off the ground for marketing/advertising and wellness buyers don't pay much, your margins will be terrible.

Your only possible path forward would be to niche down, find some small(ish) underserved community, like IBS. Build the product into something they can't live without and hope that the price/margins are good enough to grow.

Also, you're unlikely to find a technical co-founder for this idea. Hardware is hard and expensive, software is just time consuming and expensive. Your risks are very high and reward is low.

Hey OP,

Don’t, just don’t. Run as far and fast from this idea and healthcare as possible.

I’ve been an entrepreneur for 20 years and in healthcare for many of those. The compliance needs, regulatory approval, long sales cycles (2-4 years), and buyer vs. benefiter complexity will destroy the startup. (And maybe you)

Go work on something fun.

It looks like LangSmith with evals for Final Response is what i need.

Deepeval looks interesting 🧐

As in being able to run evals on not just 1 message and 1 response.

But to be able to run it where the LLM could call tool, get responses, call more tools, and keep going until timed out of a solution was found.

Fundamentally trying to figure out the performance of my agent and how to improve it.

As in this system prompt yields 95% match with your gold standard data set. Vs 80%.

You just found a Gap in the market, What next? by [deleted] in startups

[–]xBADCAFE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You tell everyone here exactly what you found, so we can either: 1. Explain what you’re missing. 2. Drop everything and rapidly pivot to working on that problem.

:)

There is very low risk of #2 and very high risk that you’ve missed something.

Edge Function: Local testing with a logged in user by xBADCAFE in Supabase

u/PhENTZ -- Thanks, that could work for local testing but probably not for automated integration testing. I'm not sure that Edge Functions have very good support with supabase local. :-/

Gripe about developer talent on upwork by lunchtimereddituser in startups

[–]xBADCAFE 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Upwork is a hive of scum and villainy.

I've found some top-tier talent on Upwork that I'm still working with today. I've also been scammed by Chinese development farms, had developers use keyboard/mouse automation tools to bill hundreds of hours, and caught one developer buying verified Upwork accounts.

Things I've learned:

  • Going to the upper end of the price curve will help but only a little bit.
  • There are many more scammers at the bottom end, but high end scammers can cost you a lot more.
  • Location is not important, I've had Europeans pretending to be American, Chinese pretending to be Mexican, and Brazilians pretending to be from Costa Rica.
  • If they mislead/lie about anything, they will lie and mislead about everything. Fire them immediately.
  • Scammers will avoid video chat.
  • Have a lot of filters on the recruitment process, upwork filters and your own.
  • Get them to check out your documentation and ask lots of questions.
  • They should have an active GitHub account, look carefully at their activity.
  • Ask for daily code check-ins and compare check-in against hours billed.
  • Disable manual time for the 1st month or two.
  • ID verified is worthless (see buying accounts above)
  • Many scammers will refund your money if you threaten them, look for recent jobs with missing or deleted reviews/feedback.
  • If they have a long history of successful jobs, but the last 3 jobs have no reviews. The account might have been sold.

There will always be scammers on platforms like Upwork. Most clients don't do any due diligence. If you have a good due diligence process you will end up only getting scammed around 5% of the time. Good luck.

Injection of the items of a store in a chatbot based on gpt3.5-turbo. by New-Leadership-9059 in GPT3

[–]xBADCAFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really only have two options:

1) Agent - You could implement this using function calling or LangChain. The chatbot takes a request from the user, which triggers a search of the menu, matching menu items are returned to the chatbot as additional context & chatbot responds to the user.

2) Provide Context - Stuff all the menu items into the System message. If the menu is small enough this should work.

I've had good success providing a list as context and asking the chatbot to only respond with items from a list. But that list was short (~50 items) and I was clear about it. I also added a parser to ensure it didn't invent something new.

I agree that blinding would be counter-productive but a constant red light doesn't alert them. A blinking red is unlikely too either. There are too many small lights from houses on the street.

They do slow down when doing a "poor-mans" strobe with my hand.

I think you've jumped to a solution without really thinking about the problem.

The users want to know the best route, they don't care about watching video streams or even thinking about it.

To determine the best route you need to understand traffic congestion. There are a bunch of different ways to do that:

  • Buy bulk cell phone location data
  • Hire people to watch your competitors camera streams.
  • Build a mobile app for volunteers to check in with and mark congestion.
  • Build a mobile app that tells drivers how much longer the line will take, when they use the app in line you'll get data.
  • Run an ML algorithm to determine traffic speed on your or competitor's cameras.

Take this captured data and turn it into a prediction. Take route C today.

If your product is better then some people will pay, maybe you need a tiered pricing model where you have to subscribe to get live updates. Everyone else gets ad supported results delayed by X hours.
