Heyo, cool product. I know setting up and deploying ML on your own is a big PITA from own experience, so ML as a service is a no brainer.

Questions: What do you guys see as the long term vision here? Where would you like to go, if you could? Obviously the value prop is simple and clear right now, and you have tons of competition. But assuming you're profitable, get traction, what would you LIKE to be in 5-10 years? What's your dream as entrepreneurs?

Best of luck. Also, for some small feedback, the UI currently looks a bit generic, bootstrap-y. I'd recommend giving it a small facelift if you can.

Haha yea I'm to blame for the crappy UI... I believe in principle with shipping things you're uncomfortable with, but it also hurts my soul.
We think the number of use-cases for ML is going to grow drastically as 1) ML state-of-the-art continues to get better; and 2) Developers realize how accessible it can be. More problems will be solved by a "machine-learned function" rather than imperatively coded functions. Taking it one step at a time, in 5-10 years we'd love to be the default place the developers go to solve their ML problems. This would mean that we go beyond image/text classification to a broader set of input and output types.

Thanks for the feedback on the UI! None of us are UI experts and we agree that it isn't great. We're working to make it better.
