Problem

Solo food creators and Small Business Owners trying to post seasonal food content on social media (Instagram, Reels, Shorts) get inconsistent lighting, composition, and color grading when shooting with smartphones—averaging 2–3 hours per piece of content.

One-click generation of vertical edits for Reels/Shorts plus auto-generated captions and hashtags.

Revenue Model: Premium Monthly Subscription $14/month (30 edits/month), Pro $29/month (unlimited + full template library). Free Trial: 5 edits/month
