My dad’s been shooting stock photos for years. Keywording them was eating his whole day, so I built him a tool for it

My dad’s a professional stock photographer — he’s been shooting and selling through Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, iStock, Depositphotos and a few other platforms for years. Turns out the actual photography was never the bottleneck. The bottleneck was keywording: every single photo needs a title, a description, and 30-50 accurate keywords before it’s even worth submitting. Multiply that by a few hundred photos a month, across multiple platforms with slightly different rules, and you’ve got a part-time job just typing.

So I built him a tool: point it at a folder, it analyzes every photo (and video) and writes the metadata straight into the file, no copy-pasting. His submission software just picks it up automatically. It also handles editorial vs commercial formatting on its own.

A few other stockers he knows tried it and asked where to get it, so I’m slowly opening it up. Shoot stock and this sounds familiar? Happy to answer questions.

I have a lot of credits left for AI models, and I don't know how to spend them. Would anyone like to use one of the models?

Hi everyone, I received some credits for using AI models for my app idea and development. My app (Sedvai) doesn't use them much, and I won't be able to use them all up myself. I’d like to share them - I’d be happy to support your project with AI model access, or perhaps explore a partnership.

Note: Claude isn't included in my plan.

Why do indie devs avoid partnerships even when it makes sense for both sides?

I've been noticing something weird lately. Developers at roughly my level - solo builders, small projects, similar audiences seem almost allergic to collaboration. Even people I've talked to before. Like, we're both building in the same space, we both need users, we both lack time. A partnership could literally double exposure for both sides with zero cost. And still nothing. Is it ego? Fear of losing "ownership" of the idea? Just not knowing how to structure it?
Has this happened to you? Did you ever miss a collab that could have worked, or did you find a way to make it happen? Genuinely curious because I'm actively looking for people to build with and keep hitting this wall.

First day i share my company progress

At the age of 14, for the first time, I started to create a product for my company. I wanted to start sharing it with the community. So my main product Sedvai is a big AI assistant that is integrated into your computer. For example, in Sedvai I can easily control voice minor actions on the type of application opening, switching tracks, music downsizing, and more. When I don’t want to reach for the mouse, I just speak with my voice and it’s very helps me

what else, for example a pretty good system with a view of the screen is made. I speak by voice and ask for help directly without sending any screenshots. And Sedvai also replies with a voice and helps

There is also a code mode with a rather expensive model inside, although I made it almost free

It’s going to be a loss for me in money, but I think everything will be fine in the future

So far, I’ve done a free, unlimited chat - if anyone objects, tell me how your voice is🙏
app is available on Microsoft store so u can find it

And i also need a feedback- if all of this worth it?
