Thank you @nickabouzeid for hunting us! Hi All! I'm CTO at Chui and I’m happy to introduce TrueFace.ai. A suite of facial recognition APIs powered by deep learning. Our current endpoints cover: Face Detection - Detect when a face or multiple faces are present in a frame and get the raw 68 points for that face Face Matching - Match a face with a stored profile, 1 to 1 Face Identification - Match a face with a database of many 1:n Spoof Detection - Detect when someone is holding up a picture of someone else to try a fool the face recognition We offer a full package for anyone looking to explore and use facial recognition in production. Our goal is to have the best in class technology and continuously improve it. We invite everyone to test it out and please provide feedback.

@nchafni Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/compon...) will be a great place to showcase your API. They already have a few image processing components, including Microsoft Face, which is very similar to your offering.
Nezare Chafni
@truvoip thanks Alok, home-assistant looks very cool i'll definitely look into!

My sunday funday project (Teach a Neural Network to identify drunk from sober faces with the Trueface.ai API):
absolutely no worthy use-case for it, but fun to make!

They've been building hardware for some years, so it's pretty cool that they are opening up their API so you can take advantage of all that development and implement facial recognition into your own products.
Shaun Moore
@josevieitez thank you Jose! We are excited to finally put it in the hands of the public!
Skelly
This is really sharp you guys. Can you share progress or thoughts on where this tech is currently implemented and where it will pop up next??
Shaun Moore
@skellyandco Thank you, Skelly! We are seeing it being tested in banking applications, airports, secured buildings, theme parks, stadiums, cowork spaces and mobile phones. We predict that this type of technology will be the future of all access whether it be physical or digital! We plan to make it available on IFTTT and Flow and Zapier in the near future.
Ivan Cucer
And don't forget to write / let the Samsung Team know to use your API because they're still fucking up with their face recognition toy LOL
Shaun Moore
@ivancucer haha we'd love to chat to them!
Mike Holford
Holy sh*t @will_bodansky I thought that was you when the video played! :) Great work sir!
Shaun Moore
Will Bodansky
@mikelholford haha yeah thats me! Hope you're doing well mate :)
Kevin Lou
Looks very cool! 🙌 Definitely see a lot of use cases for this
Shaun Moore
@kevinbryantlou Thank you, feel free to share them with us!
Thileepan
Looks interesting. All the very best :)
Shaun Moore
@sktgthill Thank you!! Much appreciated.
Pierre Becerril
@nchafni looks awesome! Can't wait to test it during our next hackathon.
Wesley James
Congrats @nchafni and team! Looks like a great product!
Shaun Moore
Daniel Marulanda
People use Chui to enter at my coworking space and its a great product! Try it!
Shaun Moore
@dfmarulanda We are glad you like it!
Giuseppe Basciu
Amazing product!!! I try it every day going at work and it was really incredible!
Shaun Moore
@beppeba Awesome, thank you! We'd love to know what you use it for!
Aiden Livingston
Amazing product from an Amazing team!

Frank Denbow
Interesting. Are you thinking of adding more to the APIs? I used to use face.com back in the day and they had some cool datasets like a celebrity look-a-like db.
Nezare Chafni
Hi @frank_denbow perhaps in the future, in the near term we plan no hosting several in person and virtual hackathons that would explore uses like that and in the medium term we'd like to focus on improving our core tech for people to create products with.
Shaun Moore
@frank_denbow Thank you for asking! We recently hosted a hackathon where a team used the TrueFace.Ai API to enable secure payments (fraud prevention) with face matching and spoof detection got 3rd place! So we will continue to encourage creativity from these and keep improving our tech!

I know the founders personally from our 500Startups batch! They are are laser focused and fully committed. Also great people!

Pros:

Very cool easy to use API

Cons:

Not found yet

KerryBodle
This is great! I was just thinking of an app idea that would need this API.
Shaun Moore
@liquidchickenqq Let us know if we can help!
Oras Al-Kubaisi
Kudos for API documentation, it looks really good. Some concerns regarding using your API, I can not see any privacy policy link on your website. Since its an API, I assume you're going to save all faces on your own servers which can be a concern for some companies.
Nezare Chafni
@orask you can view our PP on the api request page. We're open to deploying the tech on private infrastructure when that's requested. Currently all of our data is transmitted securely and utilizes bank grade encryption at rest.
Haldun Anıl
This looks really cool, nice job guys! Do you have any plans to also include emotion detection some time soon?
Nezare Chafni
@haldun_anil not at the moment but our facedetect endpoint can return the raw 68 landmark points which you can use to train a machine learning algo to identify any expression or emotion. I'm using it today to try and teach a neural network to identify drunk from sober faces (hopefully I get good some results ;) ).
Alan Tikwart Alden
@haldun_anil - we can provide you everything that Trueface provides plus emotion detection, age, attractiveness, etc and we are beating MSFT by 20% and IBM by 50% in these areas - try www.haystack.ai - feel free to ping me direct
Shaun Moore
@seriesapartners Alan, we would love to learn more about how you do spoof detection - detecting when someone holds a picture of someone else's face.
Kostya Rypta
Cool
Shaun Moore
@kostyarypta Thanks!!
Brian Rodgers
Awesome! I will definitely share this with a few developers who could have possible applications for the API!
Shaun Moore
@brian_rodgers Thank you! Would love to hear how they use it!
