zzsshhon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

My wife and I have been working on a platform for close to year now, called The Influencer AI (https://www.theinfluencer.ai) that helps you generate a consistent AI person, and use them for images and talking video. We've been growing and polishing it based on user feedback since then. You can go from idea of a person in your head, to the finished video of her doing or saying anything you need, all on one platform, with the best ai models for each step leveraged for you.

zzsshhon Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)

I'm working on The Influencer AI(www.theinfluencer.ai), a platform that lets you create realistic and consistent AI personas('ai influencers') to use on social media or as your brand ambassador. You can use this unique AI person in photos and talking videos, for use cases like talking about your product, creating a high quality Instagram persona, photos for your e-commerce site, etc.

Thanks for trying it out!

zzsshhon Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2025)

We're building a service to generate consistent AI personas, and create any media you need with them, photos, videos, tryons, product photos, etc.

- Works by selecting traits, which then trains a model(flux) OR uploading your own photos.

- Hopefully useful for shopify/ecomm store owners, digital agencies, or just about anyone to drastically speed up the time and reduce the cost to test creatives, create media content, or just do what you want with a model of yourself.

- Web with Nextjs, DB with Supabase, marketing with nothing.

- Happy to share more details into how we built this, and hear feedback and thoughts.
