Eh, is it really "consistent" costume if the chest plate of a character's armor changes in each shot? Or if the tassels on a sweatshirt are suddenly chrome?

I don't think this would pass in regular film for good consistency. It still looks like AI to me. I'm just being honest, as a totally non-expert media consumer. Consistency problems are a huge annoyance to me in movies, it's the kind of detail you should get right at the very least if you want to make a serious work.

But if I were doing that, I don't think I could trust this, based on the images on the linked page's masthead, and in that case this isn't a solved problem at all, and I wish you had not claimed it was solved. It would be fine to say you've made a dent in this problem! But now I just feel like you baited me into trying your app.

These are valid points. I agree consistency is not preserved 100% (although it's a super challenging task and it's the goal we are striving to achieve). At the same time, we've made a major progress on getting the consistency for about 80%, we'll keep improving it so hopefully it'll get there soon. Appreciate your candid feedback though!
I’m happy to admit it is very strong progress. I can see how the characters relate between shots now because they wear (at least) the same color and style of clothing.
