Hey everyone,

I recently built a small project called Overly during a hackathon.

The basic idea is simple: students can use a lecture video and instead of manually scrubbing through the whole thing, they can search inside it, ask questions, get summaries, and jump to the exact timestamp where something is explained.

I built it because revising from long lecture videos is genuinely annoying. Sometimes you remember that a teacher explained a topic somewhere, but finding that exact moment again wastes a lot of time.

Right now it’s a working MVP. A few of my friends/students tested it and the core flow works. I’ve also made proper docs, setup instructions, screenshots, and a demo video.

I’m not trying to hype it up as some huge startup. It’s a working pre-revenue project that I polished after the hackathon.

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from builders/students:

Does this solve a real pain point for you?

What would make it more useful — better summaries, timestamp accuracy, YouTube support, saved notes, or something else?

Hey everyone,

I recently built a project called Overly during a hackathon and polished it into a working MVP.

It’s an AI study tool for lecture videos. Students can search inside a video, ask questions, get summaries, and jump to the exact timestamp where something is explained.

The problem it solves is pretty simple: revising from long lecture videos is annoying. You often remember that a topic was explained, but not where. Overly makes the video searchable and easier to learn from.

Current status:

- Working MVP

- Tested by a few student users/friends

- No revenue yet

- Demo video and screenshots ready

- Proper documentation and setup guide included

- Listed on PreRevMarket as a pre-revenue project

I’m open to selling it to someone who wants to take it further — maybe as an edtech SaaS, a tool for coaching institutes, or a starter product for the AI learning space.

Not trying to overhype it as a big startup. It’s a working pre-revenue project with docs and handover support.

Would love feedback from indie hackers/builders:

What would make this more attractive to a buyer?

I have a short demo video as well, happy to share it if anyone wants to see the full flow.

So over the past few months I’ve built a bunch of AI projects. Full frontend, backend, decent UI, everything works.

The problem is they’re just sitting in my GitHub doing nothing.

I originally made them as prototypes for ideas and to show clients. But now I’m thinking instead of building from scratch every time, maybe I can just package these and let other people use them.

The idea is simple. You have an idea but don’t want to spend weeks coding. You take this, add your API key, tweak a few things, and you already have a working product.

No starting from zero, no figuring out how to connect everything.

I’m not sure if people would actually pay for something like this though.

Be honest

Would you use something like this

Would you pay for it even a small amount

What would you expect it to include to make it actually worth it

Also if you’ve tried building AI stuff yourself, what was the most annoying or time consuming part

Trying to figure out if this is actually useful or just something that sounds good in my head
