It's solving overwhelming amount of photos problem. Many people think it's a very competitive market, some even said "saturated", but look at users and current players, no solid solution yet. We don't want to avoid competition, instead, we want to provide a really working solution. It doesn't sound fancy, but it could be useful to many people. The user pain point might also not so obvious at this stage, but it will be more obvious along the time. Also, this is a "Vitamin" type of product (Refer to the "The Hook Model"). That's my thinking process. Please tell me where could be wrong. Thanks!

Hi! I like the concept but by looking at your website I don't know (1) what problem you're solving and (2) how you do it.

How does the "Intelligence" work? Why should I auto-generate a collage when it's more fun to create one by myself?

At the moment it seems like it would be a nice automated addition to other apps (e.g. Instagram generates "moments" from last week automatically and lets me share them with others, etc..)

Would love to hear your thoughts! :)

Thank you for the feedbacks! Sorry if the website didn't explain clearly. The problem we are solving is the overwhelming amount of photos people took vs limited time to organize, create content from them, and share the the creation on time. Our solution, in one sentence is to automate the whole process. You only need to take photos and you see creations done right after you launch the app. We can almost do it in real time. So, in terms of "Intelligence", our app can understand your photos, detect when you take them, and make them into creations by event so that you can immediately share or further edit.
I thought the same thing, it's not at all clear what it does or why I would want it.
You might want it for: 1)all photos organized by moments/events instantly, an effortless while fresh way to consume your own photos and digest your past experience; 2) with our app, you take 10 second to share a collage instead of 10mins, while you are still in the moment. 3) For those who enjoy the editing process, you still can get inspiration from what we recommend to you as a creation. Plus, we are fully editable and you can just further customize based on what we drafted for you. -- Let me know if that is not convincing. :)
That sounds awesome! As you said, it's definitely some kind of vitamin/aspirational thing but there is lots of potential. Can't wait to try it out someday.

Good luck!

I've used everything from Picasa to iPhoto to some of the Linux-based solutions like F-Spot.

I have no idea what your product does. It reminded me a lot of the paragraph at http://www.ycombinator.com/howtoapply/ that starts with, "The best answers are the most matter of fact. It’s a mistake to use marketing-speak to make your idea sound more exciting. "

Yes, I know. Paul was talking about the application. Our website is a marketing platform and mean to talk in marketing ways. I am sorry it's not clear enough for you. Anyway, we thought we were not launched yet and therefore didn't work much on crafting the wording here. Probably a mistake here.
