Idea type: Swamp

The market has seen several mediocre solutions that nobody loves. Unless you can offer something fundamentally different, you’ll likely struggle to stand out or make money.

Should You Build It?

Don't build it.


Your are here

You're entering a crowded space, classified as a 'Swamp,' where many have tried and failed to create compelling solutions. The idea of AI clone impersonation detection and removal has been explored by at least nine similar products, signaling significant competition. While the concept of protecting one's identity and online image is appealing, the low engagement (average of one comment per product) suggests that existing solutions haven't fully captured the market's attention. Given this landscape, it's crucial to understand why previous attempts haven't resonated with users and what unique value proposition you can offer to differentiate yourself. The fact that there's no clear positive signal for 'use' or 'buy' from similar products underscores the need for a very different approach.

Recommendations

  1. Thoroughly investigate why existing solutions in the AI impersonation detection and removal space have not achieved widespread adoption or high user engagement. Analyze their shortcomings and identify unmet needs to inform your strategy. For example, Depersonate received good feedback and was considered a perfect launch, indicating a well-executed marketing strategy, while Loti was celebrated for being innovative.
  2. If you decide to move forward, narrow your focus to a specific niche or demographic that is currently underserved by existing AI impersonation detection and removal tools. A targeted approach will allow you to tailor your product and marketing efforts, increasing your chances of gaining traction. Maybe focus on the rise of deepfakes since this was mentioned with Loti.
  3. Rather than directly competing with established providers, explore the possibility of creating tools or services that enhance or complement their offerings. This could involve developing specialized algorithms, APIs, or data sets that can be integrated into existing platforms to improve their accuracy or functionality.
  4. Consider exploring adjacent problem areas that are closely related to AI impersonation but may offer more promising opportunities for innovation and growth. This could include developing tools for verifying the authenticity of digital content, detecting and mitigating the spread of misinformation, or protecting intellectual property rights in the digital realm.
  5. Given the competitive landscape and the challenges associated with breaking into this market, carefully consider whether this is the best use of your time and resources. It may be prudent to explore alternative opportunities that offer a higher potential for success. Focus on ideas that allow the creator to express his/her value, increase their wealth and achieve their life goals.
  6. Carefully define your target audience and tailor your marketing messages to resonate with their specific concerns and needs. Highlight the unique benefits of your solution and how it addresses the challenges they face in protecting their online identity and reputation. Consider user's feelings and concerns as you present solutions to them.

Questions

  1. What specific technological advancements or unique data sources will your AI clone impersonation detection and removal service leverage to surpass the accuracy and effectiveness of existing solutions?
  2. How will you address the ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI for impersonation detection, particularly in regards to privacy, free speech, and potential for misuse?
  3. What proactive measures will you implement to continuously adapt to the evolving landscape of AI-generated content and ensure that your service remains effective against new and emerging threats?

The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.

B2V – Protection against impersonation attacks

30 Jun 2024 SaaS Security

Hi HN, I’m the founder of B2V (https://b2v.xyz), a service that protects organizations against impersonation attacks.The problem I’m trying to solve stems from the following observation: while end-user authentication methods are becoming more advanced as cybersecurity evolves, organizations aren't experiencing the same improvements when we reverse the roles, i.e. when organizations authenticate themselves to their users. This imbalance leaves a gap in secure communications that B2V aims to close.Bad actors have countless ways to pose as trusted entities — through phishing, smishing, vishing, and more. These catchy terms may sound trendy, but the technology to combat them often lags behind. While some larger companies do offer some customised solutions such as in-app notifications, most approaches are still reactive like updating email filters after an attack is detected or requesting takedowns of fake domains long after the damage is done. It's surprising that more proactive measures aren't in place, especially considering the serious consequences of these attacks.How B2V tackles this problem: - Mutual authentication: During critical communications, a member of an organization can initiate an authentication session and share it with a user via a unique URL. When the user opens it, the session provides a one-time password that the user can verify. These single-use ephemeral sessions also protect against man-in-the-middle attacks, ensuring that the person you're communicating with is truly who they claim to be. This could also be described as *conversational authentication*. - Digital signatures: You can easily prove the authenticity and integrity of information relating to your organization with public-key cryptography. This is especially useful for verifying that text or links posted on platforms/media outside of your control — such as job boards, paper invoices, forums, or messages — truly come from a trusted entity. For example here's the signature of this post's URL: https://b2v.xyz/b2v_/lnIel9YXtwcqO7?s=https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40836872 - Verified online identities: Organizations can link their online identities, similarly to the way Keybase does it. For instance, here's the proof of ownership of this HN account: https://b2v.xyz/b2v_/NMiMMr9KWov6oE?s=hn:b2v - Privacy by design: This system respects your privacy by never tracking or storing plaintext identifying information, only digests and signatures. - For custom integrations, an API is also available. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Loti - Remove non-consensual intimate images of yourself online.

We collect images and videos from across the adult web and run facial recognition on all the content so that individuals can use our software to remove their non-consensual content easily and quickly. We find that needle in the haystack using AI.

Users express excitement and praise for the innovative solution, congratulating the launch and highlighting its potential use cases. Some users express surprise it didn't exist before and find it to be a majestic discovery. Questions are raised about the project's motivation and the frequency of new image/video updates. There's also a mention about the increased utility of the tool with the rise of deepfakes.
