The problem it solves

Getting a decent professional headshot usually means booking a photographer or awkwardly trying to take one yourself. You need something that looks polished for LinkedIn or a company profile, but you don't have the time or budget for a photoshoot.

Who it fits

Professionals, job seekers, or teams who need polished headshots without a photo studio.

How it works

  1. You send a selfie through Telegram
  2. The system uploads the photo and sends it to an AI image model
  3. It checks the status until the AI finishes generating the headshot
  4. The finished professional headshot is saved to Google Drive
  5. You receive the final image back through Telegram
What you get

Polished headshots ready for your profile photo

You get a professional, studio-style headshot generated from a selfie you send over Telegram, delivered back to you in minutes.

What you get

A polished, professional-looking headshot generated from your selfie, saved and delivered to you automatically.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Google Drive account, and an API key for an AI image-generation service.

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.
