This is very cool. I want to do something similar, with a particular focus on enhancing audio quality. How many ideas did you try and discard before deciding to do your "background remover" service? What were they, if you don't mind sharing?

Previous ideas: 1. Automated proffers io always profile pic selector and optimizer. Like scam your Facebook with permissions and pick out the best photo for LinkedIn, potentially enchanting and cropping Ali g the way. Terrible idea because consumers generally never pay and getting people’s attention to this is going to be far more expensive than the value I can give you.

2. Automated tests for “broken” front end based on how the side renders on various devices. Pretty sure a machine learning model can recognize broken design. I still think it’s a good idea but potentially a pretty complicated sell!

3. The rest I’ll redact because I’m still toying with doing them.

Now that's a pretty neat idea. I don't know about recognizing subjectively broken design, but recognizing discrepancies between screenshots seems quite doable. Could be a good thing to integrate into a test suite.
