Hi HN, I'm the maker. I built this because I believe the biggest problem with most AI image tools is that they're a "black box." You get what the AI gives you, and if it's 90% right, you're stuck. My goal was to combine AI's speed with a creator's need for control. The core feature is the live editor that gives you the final say on everything. Under the hood, the workflow is designed to give you a better starting point than a simple text-to-image call. Here’s how it works: It first uses the YouTube API to find top-performing thumbnails for your topic. A Gemini model then analyzes those…

    Hey HN! I'm Sahil, founder of DeepReel (https://deepreel.com). The Problem We're Solving We all know video is critical for growth and engagement, but creating it is a huge bottleneck. Creating professional videos still takes days or weeks per piece. Current AI video tools help, but they still make you juggle everything – you write scripts, choose visuals, pick music, make hundreds of micro-decisions. It's faster than agencies but nowhere near fast enough for scale. Our Background We started as an AI avatar company in 2023 and were the first startup to automate custom avatar…

    Hey everyone! I recently built ThumbFlow AI, an AI-powered tool that creates viral YouTube thumbnails in seconds. I'd like to share it with the HN community. *How it started:* As a solo maker, I kept seeing creators struggling with thumbnail creation - either spending hours learning design tools or paying $50+ for each thumbnail from freelancers. Most existing AI tools produce mediocre results that don't actually drive clicks. I thought there had to be a better way to solve this. *What makes ThumbFlow different?* *4-in-1 AI toolkit in one chat interface:* - Text-to-Image: Just describe your…

    Hey HN! Software engineer here. As an amateur youtuber, I've been struggling with thumbnails, especially since I don't have any design or editing skills. Decided to give it a try and make my own automatic thumbnail generator. Me being an ADHD person, made sure that there's no parameter tuning and shape choosing and fuss like that, just simply give prompt and generate thumbnail. Increased my CTR from 1.2% to 2.3% (faceless fantasy books niche on youtube) Thumbnail X (completely free for now) - https://thumbnailx.com/ Just wanna add that this is by no means a perfect thumbnail…

    Hey HN, We built a different kind of AI benchmark for UI generation. Instead of static leaderboards or curated screenshots, you can watch multiple models generate the same design live, side-by-side, and decide which output is actually better. Under the hood, we call AI models from Anthropic (Opus), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), and Moonshot AI (Kimi). Each model generates a real, editable project using Tailwind CSS (not screenshots or canvas exports). You can export it for Next.js, Laravel (Blade), Symfony (Twig), WordPress, or plain HTML. What we noticed building this: * Popular benchmarks…

    Hi HN — I’m an indie maker building Seedance AI. It helps people create short videos (and images) from text prompts and reference photos. I tried to keep it simple: fast templates, predictable credit pricing, and downloadable results. It’s still early, and I know there are rough edges. I’d really appreciate honest feedback on what feels useful, what feels confusing, and what I should improve first. Happy to answer technical or product questions.

    Hi HN I’m excited to launch GreenOnion.ai — a platform that helps anyone create beautiful, editable design layouts instantly using AI. A lot of “AI design” tools today generate images. GreenOnion doesn’t. You bring your own images — our AI handles the layout, composition, colors, and typography to turn them into cohesive, ready-to-use designs. Every element is structured and editable — text, spacing, colors, hierarchy — not just pixels on a canvas. It’s real design generation, not image generation. What it does: Describe what you want (e.g. “modern poster for a coffee brand”) AI builds a…
