I built an AI meme generator after getting tired of making social content manually

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I’m Sagar, and I’ve been building Memegician — an AI-powered meme creation tool for founders, marketers, and creators.

The idea came from a simple problem I kept facing:

I wanted to stay active on social media, but creating meme-style content every day was slow. You need to find the right template, write a funny caption, format it properly, export it, and then post it.

That sounds small, but when you’re building a product, it becomes another daily task you keep avoiding.

So, I built Memegician to turn a simple text prompt into a ready-to-post meme.

Right now, it supports:

  1. Text-to-meme generation
  2. AI caption generation
  3. AI roast
  4. Static image memes and GIF memes
  5. Template-based meme creation
  6. A meme template gallery

The part I found most interesting technically was template selection.

At first, I tried giving the LLM a list of meme templates and asking it to choose the best one. But it kept picking the same famous templates again and again.

So I moved toward a retrieval-based system where each meme template has richer metadata like use case, emotion, category, example captions, and context. Then the app searches for the best matching templates before asking the AI to generate the final meme.

The goal is not just “generate an image with text.”

The goal is to understand the intent behind the prompt and choose a meme format that actually makes sense.

I’m still early and would really appreciate feedback from other founders.
I’d especially love feedback on:

  1. Does the landing page explain the value clearly?
  2. Would you use something like this for your own product’s social media?
  3. Do you have any feature recommendation?
