Selfie Age & Gender Estimator API
Low-cost, scalable age and gender estimation for selfie verification
- Problem
- Developers building platforms that require selfie verification currently use the ChatGPT API to estimate age and gender. Results are good but costs become prohibitive at scale. They need cheaper, scalable alternatives.
- Solution
- A lightweight API based on open-source models that estimates age range and gender, billed per call at a fraction of general-purpose LLM API costs. Developers upload a selfie and get structured results.
- Users
- Developers of social, e-commerce, gaming platforms needing selfie verification
- MVP
- Wrap open-source age/gender models as an HTTP API; support image upload; return age range and gender; free trial credits; simple docs and SDK
- Revenue
- Tiered per-call pricing with free tier for trials; enterprise plan with private deployment
- Why now
- Open-source facial attribute models are mature and cheap to run; general LLM APIs are expensive, giving vertical lightweight APIs a price advantage
