We just launched PawModel — AI art that actually looks like YOUR pet
Hey IH! Today I'm launching PawModel — and I'm genuinely excited (and a little nervous) to share it with you.
The problem I kept running into
I have a dog named Haley. Like most pet owners, I wanted cool AI-generated portraits of her. I tried every tool out there. Every single one gave me back a generic dog. Not Haley. Not her crooked ear, not the goofy eyebrow thing she does, not her exact markings.
That's the gap PawModel fills.
What PawModel does
Instead of prompting a generic AI, PawModel trains a custom model on your specific pet. You upload 10–20 photos, our AI spends ~10 minutes learning what makes your pet uniquely them — face shape, markings, fur pattern — and then you can generate unlimited portraits and video reels that are unmistakably yours.
10+ art styles: oil painting, watercolor, anime, superhero, holiday card, and more
- Video Reel Studio: turn portraits into short videos with transitions and music — ready for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts
- Fast: portraits in under 30 seconds once your model is trained
- Privacy-first: your photos are never shared with third parties and can be deleted anytime
The stack & journey
I built this solo in early 2026. The hardest part wasn't the AI — it was getting the fine-tuning pipeline stable enough that a non-technical user could trigger it with a single button click and reliably get great results. A lot of failed runs and frustrated test users later, I think we're there.
Pricing starts at $14.99 for 45 credits (enough for a model training + 25 portraits). Pay-as-you-go, no subscription required.
What I'd love feedback on
Does the pricing feel right for the value?
- Are there styles or features you'd want to see added?
- Pet owners: what would actually make you share AI pet art with friends?
Happy to answer any questions. Go make something beautiful for your pet 🐾
