So, I have been building startups and multiple SaaS products for more than 5 years now, and I've already exited two successful companies. Currently I am building headshotly.ai but this is the very first time I’ve received such a long and in-depth piece of feedback. It’s made me so emotional that I had to share it with all of you.

I’ve been grinding non-stop, pulling countless sleepless nights. I couldn’t go out with my girlfriend, and she got mad so many times I can’t imagine how much hard work I’ve put in over the last 5 years, and after receiving this review, I literally feel so emotional and can’t help but share it with everyone.

Here's the review from a paid user. I am posting it without any edits and have also attached a screenshot of the review:

Just wanted to add my experience/review. I like to play around with new apps. often using them as an opportunity to create "gifts" for my friends. I already have a good headshot, so when I saw the post the other day, I figured I'd give it a try and use a colleague's pictures as the "tester."

Not to pick on him, but I had noticed a while back that my colleague's profile pictures were generally older and not the best quality. I want to respect his privacy, so I won't disclose too much info, but what makes his situation all the more surprising is that he's the president of a successful company in the medical industry space. So I figured I'd surprise him with some pictures, provided they turned out well.

The first thing I think everyone should know is that when run the pictures through the app, you end up receiving quite a few results. I can't recall exactly how many, but I'm pretty sure it's like 25 or so pics. The reason this is good to know is because if you've ever played around with other AI image generation apps, then you know that even the better apps can be hit-or-miss.

So the first thing I noticed is that the output from Headshotly was overall pretty consistent. Just like the other apps, there can be random results that are just off. In my case, none of them were "off" in the sense of extra fingers, distorted faces, etc. That was a pleasant surprise. Instead, they were all "good" pictures, but in several of the results, Headshotly's AI took the liberty of adding color to what really should be gray hair. My colleague has had white/gray hair for years now, so anything other than that wouldn't really be accurate. But honestly, that was a very minor issue. Again, there were so many results to choose from that a few misses really weren't a big deal.

After I uploaded his pictures, I sent him a message to let him know what I was doing, and told him I'd send him the results once they were ready. If I recall, it takes about 15 minutes or so for the imaged to render. He told me that he was eager to see the results, because purely by coincidence he had planned to schedule a session with a professional photographer next week to get some updated headshots for his social media and other profiles.

So when they came back, it's not really an exaggeration to say he was "blown away." Of the 25 or so that got processed, I screened out probably half. Again, the ones I discarded were "good" pictures, but just not entirely accurate to his current appearance, hair color, etc. So he ended up receiving about a dozen really high quality headshots.

I'll paste a screenshot of my colleague's reaction here. Seriously, for the price, this app can't be beat for anyone who really does need some good pics for their professional social media profiles or website! I see now that a new LTD offer is available, so I'm going to buy some more.

There will always be negative comments, and so many people will tell you that you can’t do it. Trust me, you can achieve it don't give a shit about them.

And coincidentally, today is my birthday, and this is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received on my birthday.
