The problem it solves

You need to share photos or footage publicly, but manually blurring every face for privacy is tedious and easy to miss. This matters even more when handling sensitive images like patient photos or surveillance footage.

Who it fits

A healthcare, journalism, or compliance team that needs to share images without exposing people's identities.

How it works

  1. You upload an image through a form
  2. AI detects every human face in the image
  3. Each face is automatically blurred
  4. The redacted image is saved to Google Drive
  5. You receive the finished image directly in Telegram
What you get

Images shared without exposing anyone's identity

Upload any image and get back a version with every face automatically blurred, ready for safe sharing.

What you get

A redacted image with all faces blurred, stored in Google Drive and delivered to you.

What you need

A VLM Run API key, a Google Drive account, and a Telegram account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
