I built a small Agora x Gemini demo around a simple idea:

What if you could upload or record a video, then ask questions about it out loud?

Flow:
Watch -> Understand -> Talk

The app takes a short video, sends it to Gemini’s Agentic Video Understanding, extracts timestamped moments, then passes that context into an Agora Conversational AI voice agent. After that, you can ask questions about the video by voice.

In the demo, I recorded a simple finger-counting video and asked the agent what happened.

Demo:

Repo:
https://github.com/AgoraIO-Community/Gemini-Agora-Agentic-Video-NextJS

Stack:
- Next.js
- Gemini 3.7 Flash
- Gemini Agentic Video Understanding
- Agora Conversational AI
- Agora RTC / RTM
- Agora-managed MiniMax TTS

I think this pattern could be useful for sports coaching, repair guidance, classroom assistants, interview coaching, accessibility tools, gaming analysis, and other video-aware assistants.

Would love feedback on the idea and what you’d build with it.

Founder here, building uncanned, a prebiotic soda, out of bangalore. First time posting in this sub, so a quick intro before the update.

We've spent close to a year building this. Before launching, we ran a free tasting pilot, sent out cans to people around the city and asked them to be brutally honest, no filter, wanted real feedback before committing to a final recipe. Wasn't run in this community specifically, but a lot of people who tried it were bangalore-based. Got a good number of real reviews back, some flattering, some pretty blunt, and took all of it seriously. Went back into the product and changed a few things because of it, more back and forth than expected.

It's officially launching today.

If you happened to be part of that pilot, thank you, this version exists partly because of you. If this is the first you're hearing of it, today's the first chance to actually order it.

Happy to talk through the pilot, the recipe changes, or the general chaos of building a food product in this city, whatever's useful.

I'm looking for a serious pre-seed investor/equity partner to help me take a café-on-wheels concept from planning to execution.

I already have the core concept, initial business plan, branding direction and execution framework prepared. I'm currently looking for initial funding for a structured research + execution phase before the main investment.

The initial phase will focus on:

• Ground-level customer & competitor validation

• Comparing Hyderabad and Bengaluru and identifying the right launch market

• Location research and feasibility

• Meeting manufacturers and getting actual vehicle/equipment quotations

• Supplier and inventory research

• Menu costing and pricing validation

• Understanding city-specific licences and permissions

• Consulting experienced F&B professionals

• Building the operational and staffing plan

• Pre-launch branding and audience building

• Preparing the final CAPEX, OPEX and investment requirement

This isn't simply a research project where I'll decide later whether to start. The research is designed to directly prepare the business for execution and reduce avoidable risks before the larger capital is deployed.

I'm looking for someone who understands early-stage F&B ventures and is interested in an equity-based, long-term partnership, including the possibility of participating in the larger investment after the initial phase.

I'm keeping the detailed concept and financials private for now, but I'm happy to share them with genuinely interested investors after an initial conversation.

Not looking for loans, brokers or agencies. Serious investors/equity partners only.

DM me if you're interested.

Heard they are pretty toxic to freshers

Hey everyone 👋 I’m building Foundup, an early version of a platform for people who want to find approachable founders, collaborators, and co-founders nearby.

It is designed to feel less intimidating than cold DMs and crowded groups, discover people, connect around a clear intent, and hopefully turn online discovery into real conversations.

Try it here 😊 : https://foundup-web.vercel.app/

I would genuinely value honest feedback on:

• Does the experience feel clear and trustworthy?
• What feels confusing, unnecessary, or missing?
• Would you use this to meet local builders?
• What would make you return?

I’m also looking for potential co-founders or collaborators who are strong in marketing, community-building, growth, or distribution. If the problem resonates with you, please comment or DM me ☺️ .

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

I have a full-time job, but I don’t want my entire career to be just work → salary → weekend → repeat.

I want to try building something of my own on the side.

I don’t have some revolutionary startup idea sitting in my notes. And honestly, I’m okay with that.

I’d rather meet a few ambitious, curious people and start with a different question:

“What problems are people actually willing to pay us to solve?”

Could be a software product.

Could be something powered by AI.

Could be a boring business that nobody is talking about.

Could even be something completely unrelated to tech.

I’m more interested in finding an opportunity than forcing an idea.

My approach would be pretty straightforward:

Talk → identify real problems → research → test the idea → build a basic version → put it in front of people → learn from what happens.

No fancy pitch decks.

No “we’ll become billionaires in 2 years.” 😂

No quitting jobs on day one.

Just consistent effort.

I’m also not expecting everyone to have a startup background or be a developer. If you’re good at sales, marketing, finance, operations, design, researching markets, networking, or simply thinking differently — that can be just as valuable.

I’m comfortable with the possibility that our first attempt completely fails.

Actually, I’d rather fail at 3 ideas and learn something than spend 3 years wondering what would have happened if I had tried.

If you’re in Bangalore, have a job, and have been thinking “I should build something someday” — maybe we should stop saying someday.

DM me. Tell me what you do, what you're curious about, and what kind of things you'd genuinely enjoy building.

Let's see what happens.

Worst case, we meet some interesting people.

Best case, we build something that actually works. 🚀

Do you have a business idea, a plan, or investment capital to build something but lack the time, technical ability, team, or the right execution partner?

I'm looking to work with serious people who want to build something real.

I can take responsibility across multiple areas of execution, including:

- 🛠️ Building and developing the product

- 💡 Turning an idea into an actual execution plan

- 📱 App, web, and digital product development

- 🚀 Product strategy and launching

- 📈 Marketing and growth experiments

- 🤝 Sales and business development

- 👥 Finding, coordinating, and managing a team

- ⚙️ Handling day-to-day execution and operations

In simple terms: You bring the idea, vision, and resources. I help turn it into something real.

I'm not looking for a casual collaboration or someone who just wants to "discuss startup ideas."

I'm looking for someone who:

- Has a serious idea or business opportunity

- Is willing to invest in building it

- Wants to build something they own

- Doesn't have enough time to execute everything themselves

- Needs a hands-on execution-focused partner

My preferred arrangement

I'm looking for:

Fixed monthly payment + equity/profit share

The exact structure can depend on the project, workload, investment, and responsibilities.

I'm especially interested in startups, software, AI, digital products, SaaS, consumer products, and unconventional business ideas, but I'm open to other opportunities if the idea has real potential.

If you're serious and think we could work together, send me a DM with what you're trying to build, your current stage, and what resources you already have.

Let's stop talking about ideas and actually build something.

I’ve been working on a retail-tech product that lets shoppers try clothing/accessories virtually in real time.

The video is an actual demo, not a pre-rendered result.

The main thing we’re trying to solve is the friction in traditional virtual try-on systems. Most require some combination of 3D assets, SKU-specific preparation, AR setup, or a lot of integration work.

Our approach is meant to be much more purely AI based plug-and-play and already works across in-store kiosks, websites and mobile apps.

I’m one of the people building this, so obviously I’m biased.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from founders/builders here:

• Does the experience look useful or gimmicky?
• Where do you think retailers would hesitate?
• What would you need to see before believing this could affect conversion?

Not selling anything here. Mainly trying to understand what looks convincing versus what still needs work.

DMs are open.

i myself make videos for businesses,tested this concept with seedance let me know your feedback guys

Hey Everyone,

I am a veteran product manager, looking for my next challenge. I am an immediate joiner and can hit the ground running from day 1.

I have hands-on experience in AI, Blockchain and all aspects that is required from a PM.

I have previously worked in Finance & Supply Chain industries, and am open to all industries.

I am open to any/all stages of startups and location.

Please DM me here or comment below if you have any opening at, and I will gladly share across my resume and LinkedIn profile.

I am building Zspot, a platform to rent/hire your exterior spaces of houses and building for advertisement .

After conducting about 100+ feedback interviews on my idea , i realised that 95% of the users : said YES to rent their exterior spaces. Ofcourse!! The main reason behind was the money 🤑 they will get.

That's where it clicked,I knew people would easy to convince. But the main thing would be whether brand are interested in this or not. It's not that I am going to give up without trying.

So yesterday, I just called their customer care of a jewellery brand and from their chain reaction happend. One call led to another and then I got on a call with a marketing head of the brand. After hearing about our idea, he asked me send a proposal on email. Which i happily did🚀

I am looking forward to their email 🚀📈

hiring framer developer

please DM your portfolio and charges.

thanks.

An invite-only way to meet one interesting person in Bangalore every weekend.

You tell us a little about yourself.

We pick someone we think you should meet.

We choose the venue.

Both of you get the details over email.

Then you just show up.

No swiping.

No big meetup.

No networking agenda.

Just one curated 1-on-1 conversation over coffee.

Maybe you make a friend.

Maybe you meet someone to build something with.

Maybe it’s just a really good coffee with someone you’d never have met otherwise.

That’s enough for us.

We’re starting small and carefully curating the first matches.

Applications are open.

This is one of those milestones I really wanted to reach someday, but I had absolutely no idea how I’d get there. I’m literally shaking a little from the excitement right now.

Games like Headbands, Charades, and Truth or Dare are ridiculously competitive. There are hundreds of apps already doing them, but a lot of them felt dated to me. The whole idea behind Who Goes was pretty simple: bring these game modes together in one place, give them a modern, playful UI, and make the app itself feel fun when you’re sitting around and playing with people.

Almost everyone I spoke to told me not to do it.

They said the space was too crowded, that I’d be better off building something else, and honestly, a part of me did think about switching. But another part of me just really wanted to give this a proper shot.

So I started working on Who Goes around two months ago, and I’ve pretty much worked on it every single day since.

Just last week I shared that the app had crossed $100 in revenue, which was already a huge milestone for me. I genuinely did not expect that a week later I’d be sitting here looking at 1,000 downloads.

That number might not sound crazy to everyone, but man, seeing a game I built sitting on 1,000 actual downloads feels insane to me.

And as I mentioned in my last post, I absolutely suck at marketing.

Most of what I’ve done is just showcase the app. A game mode, a small interaction, some animation I was proud of, and then hope it reaches the right people. I’ve posted videos on Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and Instagram and just kept experimenting with what works. It's been fully organic.

Alongside that, I’ve been talking to users, collecting feedback, fixing things, adding new modes, and continuously refining the experience.

So if even one of those 1,000 downloads came from someone who found Who Goes through this subreddit, thank you. Seriously. It means a lot more to me than you probably realise.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this milestone because I’m incredibly happy right now. :D

Need Advice

And if anyone here has advice on getting the app in front of a broader audience, finding more people to try it, or even has feedback on the app itself, I’d genuinely love to hear it.

Thank you!

I am currently pursuing my btech in a private institute in Bangalore. I am willing to start a business or any online agency or something. I have some ideas regarding the offline businesses.

If anyone here is interested in discussing their ideas , i am willing to give my input as much as possible and am willing to invest considerably a good amount into your startups even if I am not operating them rn .

Every day, someone somewhere in some cramped-up PG room or frosted-glass cubicle comes up with a startup idea.

Some of them even dare to hire people and get some work going.

But not everyone is not a good boss.

And not every good idea ends up becoming a decent startup.

Toxic people beget toxic startups, so, would you want to be well-aware of all the ones that should be avoided like the plague, or nah?

Hello people, I'd like to understand how people have successfully (or not) used reddit for reaching out to more users to try their product out.

What are some strategies that work? What other avenues might you recommend?
