I created an AI tool that takes in a flat design and converts it to a PSD with individual layers. It's a fun project and I have no interest in earnings.

However, if I want to offer it, due to the complexity involved in making it accurate, charges are pretty high for one run, so I wanted to get your opinions. This one cost 50 cents.

Would this tool make your work easier?

How much would you pay to use it for a design?

Eg. Just ran it on this flat design, and it reproduced a layer based file the exact same, with each UI component / fruit as a separate layer, preserving translucency as well.

Just launched a lead gen agency with good case studies (Fortune 1000 booked, 40 calls/mo). I'm staying as the only employee, with some freelancers on the side.

I wanted to get your opinions considering some people skip the case studies and go straight to the social proof.

If you're a cold lead checking out an agency, would employee count affect your view / decision?

Yeah, I know- is a lead gen agency owner really asking this?

My business thrived because I was detached from it. I could see the broader picture, create systems, and delegate. I could even observe the hire and figure out how they could do their jobs better- tasks I had no background in. All quickly processed by brain too.

But the moment I have to narrow down to do an important low level job- the simplest thing, my mind absolutely shuts off in some fear- perfectionism, success, failure, whatever. I could end up at it for hours, mindlessly typing and surfing tabs in that direction, but getting NOTHING done.

Stranger thing is, if I was doing that low-level item for someone else for fun, I'd crush it quickly, maybe also extract other ideas from it.

When I started the business on my own, I purposely missed $5k/mo sales calls. I self sabotaged all opportunities. Put it off for 3 years while in my mind I was working towards it while getting nothing useful done. Built so many inventions that were a byproduct of "supporting" the task. Complex automation softwares to complete the simple copy I was supposed to make. AI designers because design was a part of a part of my job.

But if I had to sit down and make the same software out of urgency, I'd fail.

I could not do simple things like write a website copy, even with GPT.

But when I was doing it for fun, I did them exceptionally.

Even writing this post, something in my mind tells me I'm not perfectly communicating my thoughts, this is a mess. That "creative focus that KNOWS this situation and exactly how to articulate it" disappears.

What the hell is this? What is the "detached" aspect? Do we detach from everything or face the discomfort even if it results in poor handling of it?

Anyone else?

We are starting a new lead generation agency that has booked a Fortune 1000 for a client. This task appeals to people who are looking for a credible company to add to their Linkedin experience.

We pay extra for US/CA/UK based people.

Potential transition to a paid job for outreach assistant.

You will be working directly with the founding team and gaining hands-on experience with lead generation, outreach, and client acquisition. This is a great opportunity for students, recent graduates, or anyone looking to build experience in sales and business development. Strong performers may be given additional responsibilities as the company grows.

Got 20-30 meetings / mo and signed a Fortune 1000 for my own separate agency. We were thinking of using this as credibility to start a lead gen agency. I'm worried that, as great as the results were, that it wouldn't really seem believable to have your own company as the only case study.

As agency owners, what do you think? Should I anonymize the case study and just show the meetings booked?

Currently using Cloudflare workers and that provides their own algorithm's guess at deliverability, but not each email's actual inbox placement.

New to CV. The project is to remap individual layers decomposed from a graphic design as PNGs to resemble the original composition as much as possible.

It tries feature matching with SIFT, AKAZE, ORB.

The layers were extracted with GPT so may not be 1:1.

Background z-positioning is just handled by relative size heuristic.

Attached is an example of a test for what I have so far. The only incorrect placements were the lemon, (maybe because that lemon asset appears twice - on the product container and behind it), and the purple sticker should be behind the container)

How should I algorithmically handle backgrounds, layers behind layers, overlaps, etc?

I was thinking of filtering candidates for testing, then testing different positioning, rendering them all and comparing them with the original design for best match.

Any better route / existing libraries / frameworks to go about this or any general advice is appreciated.

Recomposition attempt

We are a generalist digital transformation agency with Fortune 1000 testimonials. We created an app that is pretty useful and unprecedented.

However we don't think it really has potential to be a HIT, so the idea was to use it to reinforce agency branding / awareness, under a suite of similar tools.

We are thinking of hosting it under subdomain.agencyname.com

I'm wondering your thoughts on this, if any agencies have done this in the past (offer products and services), and more specifically is it a good idea to do so as a subdomain?

(not self promo, no names revealed) Soon we are providing a growing database of 1 million email designs to provide inspiration/competitor intel (like RGE, Milled, Inboox but for free).

The point is to grow brand awareness and expand community reach.

We were thinking of hosting it under our agency website, as app.agencysite.com with our navbar in view, or separate branding as appname.com with lighter branding pointing towards the agency.

Tradeoff with app.agencysite.com is that it's a little weird for consumers to remember/find a product under our agency name.

Plan was to market this through SMM. The initial idea was just a lead magnet / resource with advanced features like filtering, search, your niche, competitor intel etc. BUT, if it gains more traction and we can't afford hosting this for free at a certain scale, then we'd lean towards the product/branding side.

Would love to get your opinions.

I just need to view it in my frontend as a table with simple pagination and filtering (eg. all brands where monthly_sales is between 2m and 3m, and also with country code = CA)
