2) while romance is one popular use case, it's somewhat surprisingly not the majority—there's a long tail of folks using anichat as a living journal, a DND DM, an English teacher, a sounding board to mourn the loss of a loved one, a couples counselor for their actual partners

this was more of an experiment to test some hypotheses than anything else: the model hallucinates at times, and we don't have the GPUs to animate the characters
we still learned lots from building it over the past few days—hope you have as much fun using it as we did making it!

I joined Retool since I wanted to
1) get better at GTM (which I was really bad at)
2) work on a product that I truly believe in, and
3) learn from smart and kind teammates
In the last 2 years, Retool has delivered on all three and much more, for which I'm so grateful.

random and last min, but if anyone in SF knows of a large multi-story wall that I could project something onto from ~8:30pm-11pm for a couple days within the next few days, you would be a LIFESAVER

in the process of cleaning it up, will share with you soon! it’s p straightforward under the hood: when the DOM changes, the extension parses images and passes it to img2img SD 1.5 with LCM so that it completes in 5 steps
