About
Dollyglot is an AI companions platform building photo-to-video avatar technology that brings personalized interactive AI personas to life — turning a static photo and voice clip into a real-time video avatar capable of natural conversation with lifelike facial expressions including blinking eyes, head tilts, and emotional cues synchronized to conversation content. Positioned as Character.AI but with real-time video rather than text, Dollyglot created what it describes as the world's first real-time photo-to-video avatar model, enabling users to create AI companions and fictional characters from photos that look, sound, and move like real people in interactive video sessions.
Open-source offline-first API client with git-native Bru file storage; solo-founded, declined 8 VC offers, competing with Postman and Insomnia for developers seeking privacy-respecting local API testing tooling.
About
Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
