Create how-to videos and guides fast
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…

In the maker’s words, at launch
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 videos with zoom-in and transition effects along with a step-by-step guide with GIFs for every action. Here's the demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmeeNmpNepY I want to know if you guys also face similar issues, and want to get some feedback on the product. Biggest issues right now: Publishing time way too long, editor not optimised, no way to remove or add more zoom-ins in the video.

- GAGenerate Anki Decks from YouTube Videos to Anki Converter2025 · asimpleai.com · ▲6
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
- IMI'm a 13 year old who built a user feedback board for devs to ship fast2025 · indiereq.com · ▲5
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…
- GEGenerate engaging UGC shorts from a product URL2024 · glato.ai · ▲8
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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
