Thanks to @picsoung for hunting us! 👋PH community! I’m Pablo, co-founder of Kailua Labs along with @lance_hasson1 and @jodaiber. 🤦Finding media shouldn't be this hard Imagine this: you have an app or a site with a lot of visual content like stock images or an e-commerce store. To help users find what they’re searching for, you tag images manually or maybe use an error-prone and incomplete auto-tagger. But the search process for your user remains tedious: they search, scroll and filter endlessly. They use a few keywords, then scroll through the results, and if the results don’t feel right, they try a different query and repeat. Maybe they try to figure out your filters and use some of them. The more specific the search, the longer this takes. If the right content isn't tagged correctly, your user won't find it or will settle for something less than ideal. Maybe they leave and don’t come back. There's a better way. 🧠Kailua is a search platform that understands your media Forget tags and relying on time-consuming, error-prone metadata. How about a search platform that automatically understands the content of your media, and lets your users search it directly using natural language? Imagine enabling your user to search for the perfect image the same way they think and speak: "Bird on a tree" "Snowy city at night" "Black and white photos of street buskers" If an image matching the description is in your collection, our search platform will find it. ⚡AI-powered search made easy Sounds complicated?

Great work! What are the main differences compared to Google Image Search?

I tried it out this morning and I was surprised how easy it is to get started. LOVE how you’ve made this tech accessible behind an API. I was thinking of offering search like this on my site but it felt complicated and time-consuming. But if this is a turnkey solution, then it’s a game-changer for on-site search. Does the platform recognize text in images? For example, if I have an e-commerce store, will your tech recognize the labels on products?

If you are makings slides as often as I do you know this struggle: how to find the perfect image to illustrate my message. How many hours have you wasted on the stock image libraries? Fine-tuning the keywords to get something truly great and original is a skill... and I suck at it 😅 And in the end, the results really depend on the creator and how they described or tagged their image. Kailua’s search platform is a game-changer for any site offering search. Their AI understands the stuff inside images and videos so that users can search for the content directly. It lets users describe what they have in mind, and retrieves anything matching those descriptions. 🤯

is this free forever and unlimited?

Ooooh this look super nice!

Looks pretty cool. Curious, can I search for video content as well?

Does it / will it offer any customization/training on top of what it supports out of the box? For example if I find the results “good” but not “great”, what are my next steps?

Is there any scope on what things your AI can search? Like if I have a ton of screenshots and I say “chat with Betty in 2019 about a steakhouse” will it still do it?
