FYI dang they kinda ripped off our product down to copying the UI (Hedra.com). Our model is about 12x faster and supports 4 minute long videos…

This is such a lame comment. It reflects very badly on you company.

Especially considering how many people are attempting something similar - for example everyone copied ChatGPT's UI.

Will be funny/ironic when the first AI companies start suing each other for copyright infringement.

Personally for me the "3 column" UI isn't that good anyway, I would have gone with an "MMO Character Creation" type UX for this.

Putting Drake as a default avatar is just begging to be sued. Please remove pictures of actual people!

Ya, this is tricky. Our stance is the people should be able to make funny, parody videos with famous people.

Is that legal? As in: can you use an image of a celebrity without their consent as part of the product demo?

Fwiw, you’ve got one video on your homepage and everything else is locked behind a signup button. I know that signup requirement is an article of faith amongst some startup types, but it’s not a surprise to me shareable examples lead to sharing.

We have a sign-up because we ensure users accept our terms of service and acceptable use policy before creating their first video, which affirms they understand how their data is used (legally required in most US states) and will not use our technology to cause harm.

Do you realize that this or similar technology will eventually end in every computer really soon? By building walls, you're essentially asking your potential users to go elsewhere. You should be as open as possible now that there is still room and time for competition.

This thread has opened my eyes to how many similar products exist; beyond your companies' and OP's. Was yours the first? Could the other companies make the same claim about yours? Do you make the same claim about the others?

I need to create a bunch of 5-7 minute talking head videos. What's your timeline for capabilities that would help with this?

Could you not do that today, with the judicious use of cuts and transitions?

I agree, I think power users are happy to go to specific platforms, but APIs open up more use cases that can reach a broader audience. What kind of application would you use it for? We don't have specific plans at the moment, but are gauging interest.

I'm looking to create an end-to-end story telling interface. I'm currently working on the MVP and my plan was just to generate the prompts and then require users to manually paste those prompts into the interfaces of products that don't support APIs and then re-upload the results. This is so far below ideal that I'm not sure it will sell at all. It is especially difficult if one tries to imagine a mobile client. Give…

I am doing this in a semi-automated way right now based on a voiceover of me speaking.

It would be very useful to have API access to Infinity to automate the creation of a talking head avatar.

Is it fairly trained?

You think Kanye approved this?

You think every musician personally approves every use of their work?
