Show IH: I built an AI tool that replaces ₹20,000 jewelry photo shoots with ₹15 images

Hey IH!
I'm Suhail, building JewelViz — an AI-powered jewelry visualization tool for Indian jewelry brands.
The problem I kept seeing: small jewelry sellers spend ₹20,000+ on a single studio shoot just to list products on Amazon or Instagram. Most can't afford it consistently.
So I built JewelViz — upload one product photo, get a studio-quality model try-on image back. Starting at ₹15 per image.
Currently in pre-launch. The tech works, still refining the model quality. Would love brutal feedback from this community — especially on pricing, positioning, and whether this makes sense globally too.

    JewelViz is a total game-changer for small brands. That price drop from ₹20,000 to ₹15 is a massive selling point!

    Since you’re in pre-launch, you should put this tool into the Validation Arena.
    It’s a $19 challenge to see if you can get your first paid customers—the winner gets a trip to Tokyo.
    The prize pool just opened at $0, so your odds of winning the trip are very high right now.

    the 1000x cost reduction is the kind of pitch that sells itself. when you can show someone their current spend vs yours side by side, the conversation is basically over. how are you acquiring your first jewelry clients — cold outreach to stores, marketplaces, or something else? i've found that leading with a specific cost saving number in the first line of a cold email gets way more replies than feature lists.

      That side-by-side cost framing is exactly what I need to lead with — makes complete sense. Currently doing direct outreach to small jewelry sellers in Surat and Jaipur via Instagram DMs and WhatsApp. Haven't tried cold email yet but leading with the specific cost saving number is something I'll test immediately. Really helpful, thanks!

    Interesting wedge, jewelry is one of the few categories where AI images can save real money if the output stays consistent. Shipping a similar imaging tool, the hardest part was not making pretty renders, it was keeping gold tone and stone reflections identical across 50 SKUs so buyers did not feel bait-and-switch. If you can show side-by-side results on the same ring, this will land much faster.

      This is gold — thank you! Consistency across SKUs is exactly the challenge I'm wrestling with right now. Side-by-side same ring results is something I'll prioritize showing. Would love to stay in touch given you've been through this!
