    Shiuli: Alt Text Generator

Simply select the photo, get an image description, change it to fit your needs, and copy it to use anywhere from Instagram, X, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, your Blog, Portfolio or CMS. Your image now has Alt - Text and is Accessible to everyone. Someone using a screen reader can understand it. The best part? You don’t even need to open the app! You can use Shortcuts, Visual Intelligence or our Action Extension to get Image Descriptions from anywhere. Shiuli works on iPhone and iPad, and is built for people who post a lot; designers, photographers, writers, social media folks, indie app makers anyone who wants their images to be accessible and well described. Shiuli uses AI to empower people to write better Alt-Text for their art.

    Susie Dating App

    THIS ISN'T ANOTHER DATING APP. Susie is a relationship intelligence platform. We don't show you a grid of faces and hope for chemistry. We use clinical-grade psychometric analysis to find the 3 percent of people you're actually compatible with, before you ever swipe. MEET SUSIE - YOUR AI RELATIONSHIP COACH Forget multiple-choice personality quizzes from 2008. You'll have a natural voice conversation with Susie, an AI trained on decades of relationship psychology research. While you chat, our proprietary Observer system silently analyzes: Speech patterns and emotional expression Attachment style (Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, Fearful-Avoidant) All five Big Five dimensions (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Emotional Stability) Communication style and conflict resolution patterns No app on Earth does this. We didn't build a dating app. We built a psychometric engine that happens to help you date. THE BIG FIVE MEETS ATTACHMENT THEORY Here's what the research says: Attachment style is the number one predictor of relationship success. Big Five personality alignment determines long-term compatibility. MBTI cognitive functions explain how you'll communicate. Tinder uses photos. Bumble uses who messages first. Hinge uses prompts. eHarmony uses 1990s questionnaires. Susie uses actual psychology. We're the first and only app combining: Attachment Theory (Bowlby and Ainsworth research) Big Five Personality Model (Costa and McCrae) MBTI Cognitive Functions (Jung) Into a single, science-backed compatibility algorithm. Your matches aren't random, they're calculated. SEE EXACTLY WHY YOU MATCH No more wondering "why did we match?" Susie shows you: Your attachment style compatibility score Big Five trait alignment visualized MBTI cognitive function overlap Communication style predictions Relationship strengths and potential friction points We don't hide the algorithm. We explain it. You'll understand yourself better, whether or not you f
