Products that do what Create how-to videos and guides fast does
Hey HN, I'm Kamal, a 20 year old builder from India, with a team of 4. I was building an AI-powered course builder initially, and once we started getting some paying customers biggest problem that we encountered was teaching them how to use the product. I wanted to create help centre but I couldn't, probably the procrastination, because I felt like it was a huge task. So, me and my co-founder decided to make creating videos and guides for this help centre fast and easy. This is where Kroto comes in, you just record a product/process walkthrough and it generates studio quality how-to…

Hello! I love anki and have been using it for years to learn mandarin, but I'm lazy and always struggled to get over the "motivation hump" to sit down and create a deck. Recently I've been consuming a lot of AI content from youtube, and spent 3 days creating a deck for Andrej Karpathy's "Deep Dive into LLMs" video. This is impractical - so I built a little youtube to anki converter @ asimpleai.com It's rough around the edges... but I would like it to eventually become something useful to community. Feedback and suggestions are welcome! peace

Hey HN, I'm Aydin, a 13-year-old developer and indie maker looking to improve the world with my small startups. Recently, I built 2 micro SaaS projects. I spent days & weeks coding features, always telling myself that after coding one more feature I was for sure to get traction. This never happened. The reason: I never launched. With IndieReq, you can launch your startup fast and get real user feedback so you know exactly what features to ship and improve. All you have to do is sign up for free, create a feedback board, and share the public link with your users. It's that easy! If you've…

Hey HN! Sophia here from Glato AI. For the last 3 months, we've been heads down building a cutting-edge short video ads generator. We got the idea because creating UGC shorts for user acquisition is a massive pain. Hiring creators costs $100+ per vid and takes forever. So we thought, why not use AI to automate this? That's where Glato AI comes in - it's one of the most advanced AI workflows we've built. Just feed it a product URL and it'll analyze the details, find related media, understand what's being shown, write a script, create an expressive avatar, lay out each scene with b-roll and…

Hi hn, Its been a while since my kid has been dreaming to make videogames, as you know, the entry bar is high, too many technical details are involved. A few months ago, we started making games, we have tried many different ways, from dragging blocks to write code with a high-level library to make it simple, it is still too much work. Getting into the AI boat, I decided to give it a try for making games, turns out that it works super nicely, still, you still have many technical concepts involved, what language should the game be written in? where do you store the file/assets? how do you…

Over the past few weekends, I have been working on this tool that helps you easily create professional product videos or design walkthroughs from rough screen recordings like Loom. It’s a one-click platform that doesn’t require any editing skills. The idea came when I had to make a product demo, which took a lot of time with scripts and retakes. So I thought it would be a great way to learn more about AI while building something I’d actually use. I’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible. Please give it a try and share any feedback.

Hey HN! I’ve created (co-created with my co-founder) a tool called demoshake that helps you build interactive demos and use them in your sales process. The idea is simple - you create as many demos as you want, group them and let your sales team use them in their demos calls. You can embed demos in your landing page (iframe style) too. I welcome any criticism and suggestions! Harun

Hi HN, I’ve been working on an AI-powered website builder that allows anyone to create a fully functional website in just a few minutes. No coding, no design skills—just a simple, intuitive process with AI handling the heavy lifting. Here’s what you can do with it: • Create a website by entering a name, description, and subdomain. • Use AI to design the site, customize content, and edit sections with simple prompts. • Preview, tweak, and publish your website live instantly. • Download the code for full flexibility if you want to self-host or integrate. It’s still an MVP, and I’ve got lots of…

I'm documenting everything about my process. From learning to code, to building the app, and all the way to my outreach efforts. I'm learning as I go and sharing it with everyone who's not a programer, and is daunted to build a software on their own. Trust me. If I can do it, anyone can! You can find my updates on: https://Claritask.com ...as well as video updates on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmqmifW4kIcPclXigay1dQ Would love to hear your feedback on my progress and if you have any suggestions on what I can do better. There's so many task managers out…

Hi HN, I am a solopreneur in the evenings and a software engineer during the day. In the past, I have created lots of calculators for my web projects and freelancing friends. These were pretty basic, but users always welcomed them. I also used currently available builders, but the problem was that they were either slow, broke on mobile devices, had nonsense page view limits, or were expensive. Some even ticked all those boxes. So I have decided to create my own, with a simple interface, and called it Creative Widgets (if it ever takes off, I plan to add more exciting stuff like charts, etc,…

Frameloop is an AI-powered video creation and automation tool, that turns ideas into publishable videos within seconds. I've been working on this for past 4 months now, and have few paying customers as well. Most of them are individual creators, and about 20% are businesses. I'd like to focus more on business users going forwards, and am building branded video features for businesses. There are many other tools at this point, but my focus has been to focus on great UX, and giving users a really good first draft, which is easily editable. And I think that focus is what differentiates us. Try…

Hi HN, I’m Ashu, founder of VideoDB. I’ve spent a big chunk of my life building video infrastructure. Not video creation. Video plumbing. The stuff you only learn after production breaks: timebases, VFR, keyframes, audio sync drift, container quirks, partial uploads, live streams, retries, backpressure, codecs, ffmpeg flags, cost blowups, and “why is this clip unseekable on one player but fine on another”. This week we shared VideoDB Skills, a skill pack that lets AI agents call those infra primitives directly, instead of you wiring pipelines with screenshots plus FFmpeg glue. Repo:…

Hey HN! What does a regular workflow at a startup look like? Probably like this: > One founder talks to customers > Another founder builds > A customer asks for something. The first founder explains it to the second. The second founder explains it to Claude > Two weeks any one of the founders asks one of the following questions: \* Why are we building it this way? \* What happened here? \* What did we promise ACME we’d do? \* How far along are we on X? > Then you scream on the inside because you have to figure out what happened... Before agents, the person who did one part of the work…

It's called learnfrom.co, a platform for creating, hosting and selling online courses. I started building it because I wanted to solve a problem I had with existing course platforms. I kept running into things I wanted to change, so I started building them myself. The problem: I wasn't really a software engineer. Instead, I started using AI to build the product. I'd describe what I wanted, let it write the code, test it, fix things when they broke, and repeat. That somehow turned into a real product. LearnFrom is now used by 100+ creators and businesses, with real students and real payments…

YouTube is the greatest learning resource in the world. Yet it doesn't provide any tools to help you learn from videos. I built a simple app that turns YouTube videos into structured learning material using AI. It generates a summary, quiz and flashcards from video content, meaning you can learn from anything (well, at least any YouTube video). Try it out. Would be happy to keep building features based on feedback!

Hi HN, I built Lungo, a tool that generates image-based slideshows and UGC-style videos using AI. The system creates visuals and assembles them into structured, shareable content based on a text prompt. What it does: • Generates images from prompts using a custom diffusion model • Constructs slideshows or short-form videos with transitions and optional voiceover • Handles layout, text generation, and multi-language support • Outputs are consistent in resolution and format, ready for distribution I built with a React, firebase, OpenAI, Runway and ffmpeg. Feedback and questions welcome.

The idea: what if you could get a “Masterclass”-style experience, but free, using existing YouTube content? So I made OpenCademy — right now it only has two quick startup "courses" (101 & 102), built from curated YouTube clips, all embedded and organized into modules. It’s still early (no accounts, no backend), but it’s bingeable. Would love thoughts on whether this concept feels useful or just... redundant.

Hey, it’s Brendan – creator of Vid2Sum, a free AI-powered YouTube summarizer. I built this to help people save time by getting the key takeaways from long videos instantly. You can try it here: www.vid2sum.com I made this because, like many of you, I often find myself jumping around in YouTube videos, trying to find the most relevant parts. Instead of scrubbing through hours of content, I wanted an AI tool that could generate concise summaries in seconds. Making this effective required optimizing three key things: accuracy, speed, and usability. The AI had to generate relevant summaries…
