Application by: bruks0859

What is your project, and what problem does it solve?

The rise of automation platforms in the no-code app space has transformed how businesses manage tasks, yet most lack built-in media and AI tools to improve media workflows. Poh-dl.ai solves this by providing a complete/all-in-one platform for image and video automation, removing the need for third-party apps, cutting costs, and simplifying processes for a better user experience.

Was this project started at a hackathon or another web3 event? Which one?

No ,it was not

Please include any additional information that you think would be useful in helping us to evaluate your proposal.

Livepeer has primarily been integrated into social media video platforms, serving as its main use case. However, with Livepeer AI, we can expand the network’s potential into new product niches, driving demand from businesses and increasing exposure for the network.

We aim to build Poh-dl with a customer-focused approach, combining marketing, social media, and customer outreach alongside product development. This strategy, which has proven successful with our past indie SaaS projects, ensures we remain aligned with user needs from the start.

We havebeen soliciting feedback from some community members like Rick Staa , Eneche andwe plan to involve more people from the community.
