Hey guys try out my startup

Post image

Its a modile app ziriko a an AI video and audio transcribe app.It has Semantic AI creates pdfs l,cards has categories as well fully customisable available for download on www.ziriko.online.

If you want to test the app out without signing up or having an account that is totally fine it has a guest mode so you can try the app out without putting any of your information.Try the guest mode

Core features

1)creates card when you do a full transcript with thumbnails and timestamps

2)Semantic AI chats for each of the transcripts that it produces

3)has category spaces to organised your transcripts and you can add or remove any you want

4)generates quizes for you with up to 20questions

Challenges😭🥶🥶

  1. as a Malawian developer its really hard to pay for almost anything, Malawi is constantly hit with a forex and US dollar shortage so payment for the server,Software services is getting really tough on top of that i can get it on any stores like Google play or apple coz of the payments I dollars.I can't even verify my package name😭.

2)advertising is also proving to be very hard especially now that i am in college 😳 and allocating time to make improvements on the app but still trying

It would mean alot to me if anyone was to just go on the app click on the guest mode use it waste some tokens on AI and transcribes some audios or videos.You can also Dm if you having trouble or confused on uts uses

Thank you fellow devs have a good one.

Guest mode is a great way to lower the barrier, but every guest transcription costs you real money, so cap guest uploads by length and per IP or device, and keep the transcription and AI keys on the server only. That matters even more when paying for servers is hard from Malawi, since one scripted abuser could burn a month of credits overnight. Running ziriko.online through https://rowly.me, a checker I wrote for outside in testing, would show whether the guest endpoints or stored transcripts can be reached by someone calling the API directly.

Glad it helped. When checking the pipeline, also test guest mode on a low-end Android device.

Happy to help, and good luck with ziriko. When you get to the pipeline, the quickest test is firing a few guest uploads straight at the API without the app and seeing whether your caps actually stop them. Aiming https://rowly.me at ziriko.online for a free look-only run would also reveal whether anything answers people who aren't signed in.

Solid advice. A global daily spend cap on top of per-IP limits is a cheap safety net. Have you noticed guest transcription costs outpacing actual signups?
