I know, I know—we're supposed to build starting from a problem, not a technology. With that said, anyone here focused on building a machine-learning focused product? I'm looking to connect with ML founders, particularly folks who are bootstrapping.
I have an indie product in healthcare using multiple different ML models. But... I'm selling a solution to a difficult problem, not a machine learning product. ;)
I think this is key, some customers care about ML, but most don't. I'm targeting businesses and they just want their problems solved.
Yeah, I hear you. Selling a specific technology rather than a solution is not the move, but I'm curious if there are unique problems that Indie Hackers who use ML face. E.g. it's harder to bootstrap certain ML businesses than most other types of software businesses because training and inference can be expensive.
I think it is hard to boostrap as an indie because of availability of training data. Project dependent of course.
I was able to do all of my training on google colab and get reasonable (< 100ms) inference TAT on medium AWS CPU.
yes, real world use cases are missing
I am down to work on something with you. What do you have in mind?
I'll send you a message!
I studied & researched ML in my masters program.I am working on putting together a recommendation system on my current project if you are interested.
Would love to chat, I'll shoot you a message on Twitter.
We have two products using ML
What do those products focus on?

Are you guys using off the shelf models or did you train in house? Small models or large ones?
