But a lot of the existing apps are not super easy to use, and come with a lot of restrictions and paywalls. With LLMs getting so cheap in 2024, I don't think it costs a lot on my end to offer this for free for quite some time, atleast to all consumers.
As for the business side, every friend of mine that owns a company has this pain point that they spend way too much time going through job applications, so that's a genuine problem I'm trying to solve here.
Any feedback around the idea would be awesome.
You can try this at Brewed.dev

Happy to answer any questions. Would appreciate feedback since we just launched yesterday.
Happy to take in requests for more podcasts to add - should be available on Youtube since that's what this is covering right now.
Happy to answer any other questions as well.
Thanks again.
And we're not stopping here, no way! We are working on some features that will create a lot of stuff from scratch based on several deep learning architectures. We are excited to work on those features and we hope you'll like them once they are done.
Again, the goal is not to replace designers. The goal is to complement them or give founders a tool to get a decent logo in a few bucks. Happy to talk more.
We are training a deep learning architecture that creates logos from scratch. But we wanted to ship a simple yet decent product before we started working on more sophisticated stuff. In a couple of months, users will have option to select icons that are entirely generated by an AI engine.
The term "AI" in our product comes from the fact that in long term, we actually want AI to create entire logos/icons/fonts and we're actively working on this right now. Most of our current models use Conv Nets, Word Embeddings, and Random Forests which still atleast come under the category of AI.
The reason I have been trying to explain everyone about the inner workings of our product is to demonstrate that we're indeed using different ML systems and they actually make sense where they're used.
Thanks for the feedback though. Really appreciate it.
For updates on our product.
More automation by AI - That's our main goal. If you create logos on Looka and Brandmark repetitively, you'll observe patterns. That happens because although Looka and Brandmark are applying AI, they are still getting a lot of information from the user before making logos i.e "select the logos you liked", "select the color schemes you like". We want to do away with all these things and only require the brand description. This cuts the time in less than half according to what we've measured. Below are some of the AI use cases we are working on. No other website is doing that right now.
AI Based Coloring - Our colors are not hand-picked by us. They are entirely generated by machine learning algorithms. We are also working on icon coloring using AI where the icon will have multiple colors entirely added by AI.
AI Based Icons - Almost every website including ours is using repositories of icons from websites like Flaticons, Nounproject etc. We are working on adding another layer where the icons are generated by the AI system itself.
AI Based Suggestions - We believe our in-browser customizer is relatively easier to use than others. We give the user an option to just select items that are suggested to him/her by our machine learning algorithms. We've got extremely positive feedback about this and are happy that people are liking it.
These are some of the areas where we're trying to be different than our competitors. We also offer more affordable prices than both Looka and Brandmark.
We'll continue doing this until we are left with stuff that has not been used anywhere else in a logo.
