Hey HN,

I run an AI video generator called Auralume AI. For the longest time my only traffic sources were backlinks and building in public. I knew I should be doing SEO — everyone says "just write blog posts" — but I never kept it up. I'd write one article, get pulled back into product work, and the blog would sit empty for months.

So I built FlowRank to fix this for myself.

It's simple: paste your website URL, confirm a few topics, and it generates one SEO article per day. You copy the Markdown to your own blog. That's it.

I'm already using it on Auralume AI — the latest two blog posts there were generated by FlowRank. Traffic is growing, though it's still early so I'm watching the numbers. What surprised me was how useful the articles were even for me as the founder. The research step pulls in competitor info and market context, so I actually learned things about the AI video generator space from my own generated articles. That wasn't the goal, but it's a nice side effect.

I know there's a lot of debate about AI-generated content. My take: what matters is whether the article is actually useful to the reader. If someone searches "best AI video generators" and finds a well-researched comparison with real products and honest analysis, does it matter who (or what) wrote it? I think consistency matters more than perfection for SEO, and FlowRank gives me that without taking my attention away from building product.

How it works:

Paste your URL → FlowRank analyzes your site and suggests pillar topics Confirm topics → it builds a keyword queue automatically Every day, it picks the next keyword, researches the web, and writes a full long-form article with a cover image Article appears in a calendar view → preview, edit if needed, copy Markdown, done It's a content generation tool, not a blog host — you own your content in your own CMS.

I built this primarily because I needed it. I figured if I'm going to dogfood it on my own products first, I'll know exactly where it breaks and whether it actually works. So far it's been doing the job.

Pricing: $29/month, 1 article per day.

Happy to answer any questions — about the product, the results I'm seeing, or anything else.

If you follow AI or crypto, you know the pain: a 45-minute podcast video has maybe 3 minutes of actual insight. The rest is intros, recaps, tangents, and filler.

I was spending 10+ hours a week just watching videos, hoping to catch the one thing that mattered. Eventually I got tired of it and built AI Takeaway.

The problem it solves: You don't have time to watch everything Transcripts alone don't tell you what's important Generic summaries miss what investors actually care about

How it works:

Curated sources (AI + crypto only, no garbage) AI analysis tuned for investment perspective – what's the thesis, what's the risk, what's actionable Key takeaways you can scan in 30 seconds Chat with any video, take notes, export as images

I built this for myself first. Now I spend maybe 30 minutes instead of 10 hours, and I catch more signal than before. Still iterating. Would appreciate any feedback. Thank you so much! https://aitakeaway.net/

I watched my sister stress over save the dates for weeks and spend $100 on what was basically just names and a date in nice typography . It got me thinking: why is announcing your wedding date so complicated? So I built https://www.engagement-photos.com/tool/save-the-date - clean, typography-focused save the dates generated in 30 seconds. No photos, no designers, no stress. What it does: * Enter names, date, location * Get multiple minimalist designs instantly * Print-ready files, way cheaper than traditional options Been running this quietly for weeks. Couples love the simplicity - no engagement shoots, no back-and-forth, just elegant announcements.

Would love to hear what you think! Have anyone noticed how the wedding industry makes simple things needlessly complex and expensive?

I’ve been working on a small SaaS project and just added a new feature: a wedding hashtag generator. The idea is simple — you enter both partners’ names, and optionally add details like your wedding date, location, or even your love story. The tool then analyzes this to generate unique, personalized hashtags. It’s meant to be a fun but useful way for couples (and their guests) to have a memorable, consistent tag for photos and social media. I’d love any feedback — on the product itself, the UX, or just whether you think this is something people would actually use. Thanks!

Yes, that is a great point. Real moments and memories are irreplaceable. We don’t see AI as a replacement for traditional photos, but as an option for couples who may not have the budget, time, or resources for a professional shoot. We just want to have another option for people who would like to use AI to create some funny and low-cost photos to share in their social media( Funny but filled with love!)

The idea for this sparked when I saw friends dropping a fortune on engagement photos, right around the time the Taylor Swift engagement pictures went viral. I knew there had to be a better way.

The final push came recently with all the hype around Google's Banana model. I started playing with it via the Gemini API and the quality was just incredible, so I decided to build this SaaS to generate engagement photos.

This was my first crack at building an app like this, and the main hurdle quickly became prompt engineering. It all boiled down to: how do you consistently guide the model to produce the right image? After a ton of trial and error, I landed on a prompting formula that works. I even put an LLM in the middle of the workflow to refine the prompts, which honestly feels like I'm building a primitive agent.

Anyway, here it is. You get 5 free generations to try it out. I'd genuinely love any comments or feedback you have. Thanks for checking it out.
