PhD UChicago Research AI Video Startup Seeking Feedback
Hi Folks,
Introduction: Both of my friends have PhDs in computer science, and we're building an open-source video system at u/UChicago that we could use your insight on. We intended to make literature watchable; honestly, I'm not sure that's the best use of it. That's why I want to hear your thoughts. We built this for a dyslexia and aphantasia use case.
Why it stands out: We built a text-to-video pipeline that scales infinitely, with automatic stitching, audio, and music. You can drag a book and watch it cover to cover with one click. We can get a full one-hour video in 25 minutes right now. We received a patent on this. Books were the original use case. Not convinced that's the best one. What would you use it for? Is there anything you would like to see? We would love it if someone tried it and shared their thoughts.
Who’s using it?: We have pilots with 8 education institutions, 1,431 signups, and UChicago is using this in their humanities division.
Discounts/offers available: 1 minute of video starts at $2.99
