Hey Hunters πŸ‘‹ Hey Mom - I made it to Product Hunt! πŸ™‚ First of all, we'd like to thank @_jacksmith for hunting us! Thanks also to all our early adopters, who provided us crucial feedback. Without you this wouldn’t be possible. Personal branding is becoming a more integral facet of the entrepreneurial world, and we at LAMA see the benefit a founder video interview can bring to a rising startup. It not only shows the human face behind the business or service, but presents our users with a packaged interview, ready to be forwarded to publications. ✌️ Here is a useful article and some tips from our users how to start with your personal branding today: https://medium.com/@lama_app_644... How do you get publicity for your product or service in the noisy and busy startup world? πŸš€ Our team provides a free service. On the one hand we provide every user who signs up a professional journalist to give them an exclusive interview. We work with former journalists from NPR, The Guardian, Daily Mirror, The Economist, and more. On the other hand, we give our users a free and easy-to-use app for recording their interviews and interacting with the LAMA community. Give it a try - it is free!

Looks great! How do you transcribe the interviews? Manually or with automated translation?
Mario Arabov
@kouparanis Hi Leander, thank you for your question! We have a semi-automated process at the moment, using some transcribing tools and finalizing the interviews manually. We still want to keep the human touch. Stay tuned for future developments πŸ€–

Fantastic product and execution. My discovery of LAMA happened some months ago when talking with a friend about why there was not a video-based Q&A platform, just a few days after I got to know a member of the team. I've seen the team improving the product over time and pouring all their efforts to make it great; I'm sure LAMA will go far
Alexander Schwarz

Video is best way to filter out trolls and people who destroys all sort of communities. I love this way of interacting with people, it is the closest virtual interaction to our human nature.

Pros:

Super easy to use and video format gives you personal interaction with experts around the world.

Cons:

High entry level for people who are afraid of the camera - but you can still consume content without worrying about your hair cut.
