We make developer tools for computer vision so engineers can create models without being machine learning experts: collect data, organize images, annotate, train, deploy, and improve.

That is a very bad pitch. I'm doing computer vision all day long but I still don't know what service you offer and/or if it might help me.

Maybe that's your experience because you're into the matter, for me, judging from the screenshots and explanation, it seems like Scratch-like/no-code CV which seems pretty cool.

I was referring purely to the text pitch here on HN.

Ah, yeah, that one liner resonates with teams establishing their vision infra. Teams build production vision models in the span of an afternoon with better tools, e.g. one dev built this Mountain Dew bottle model during Super Bowl half time.

Some ML engineers find value in things like automated annotation, testing model architectures (models.roboflow.com), and having one-click deploy for custom object detection APIs. Think of it like replacing all the one-off scripts so you can focus on your domain-specific problems instead of reinventing the wheel on vision infrastructure.

I’d imagine if it’s targeted at non ML experts then it wouldn’t be of much help to you,

It should still be UNDERSTANDABLE to ML experts even if they are not the target customer.

IMO Making your pitch non-understandable is just a bad idea ...

Or maybe they don't care to make a pitch as in sell you something, but just wanted to briefly explain it to that other dude?

A chance response to a comment on random third party thread with a quick explanation.

You: “very bad pitch”

Wouldn’t life be great if every comment was an ad?
