My face recognition SaaS project at https://rosto.io

I am very happy to release here a project for which I have been working on my spare time for more than a year now. A face recognition SaaS at https://rosto.io.
If any of the indie hackers out there think it could be useful to integrate it on your products for photo moderation ("does this user has uploaded a photo that has even a head on it?"), etc, let me know. I may offer you a "starter" plan for free, if the "free" plan is not enough.
Feedbacks are welcome too :-)
Cool product!
One critique: it makes me a bit uncomfortable that you lead with ethnicity reading. That's going to set off some alarms in peoples' heads.
Thanks! Indeed, I understand your point. Although an interesting technical challenge it might be used in a discriminatory way. What is your suggestion, remove it completely?
Definitely lower the importance of it in the copy so that it's not the headline. I would remove it completely, honestly. If your page was set up such that you gave a use-case for each feature, then you could keep it on the page as long as you provided a clearly benevolent use case for ethnic classification...
Congrats on your launch!
I wonder, though, who is your target audience? Who needs to use this service and why?
Thanks.
Well that's a mix of a technical challenge I wanted to tackle and a need a saw in the place I work. Moderating user photo is made manually and filtering out those pictures of users that are not actual people's photos, or have face in certain positions that is not identifiable.
Yeah, but it's still not clear, who cares about user's photos? It should be very specific companies like passport services, or so?
Thanks for the further question. Yes, for instance I work at a ride-sharing company. User photo matters for the other users, so we need to make sure it is well framed, it shows the actual face, etc, so that users can identify each other when they meet in person.
When the user creates its profile uploading a photo is encouraged. We have people to manually review the uploaded photos, to crop them and to validate the photos, e.g., using sunglasses is not allowed, so the photo is invalid. Most of it can be automated using a SaaS like mine.
Btw, what is your suggestion then so that people can better understand my target audience here? Thanks in advance!
Okay, actually there is a lot of services and apps that can use your service. For example:
So, I would suggest you list all the use cases which you would like your service to be used in; describe them; write some articles, make videos --> increase awareness and understanding.
Good luck!
Thanks for your complete view of my project and for the extensive description of the possible improvements. Really appreciated! I will work on improving the description of the target audience on the landing page first. Cheers!
No problem :)
