AI Aesthetic Selfie / Digicam Photo App

Ship a mobile app that restyles selfies into trendy digicam, film and photobooth aesthetics on weekly subs.

In plain English

Selfies get a new look in a phone app that restyles them like a trendy pocket camera, old film, or a photo booth strip. Some looks run free on the phone itself, and the paid AI makes the fuller restyles. People pay a weekly subscription, and they can buy extra credits, because they want those popular looks on their own photos. The AI does almost all of the restyling and keeps track of credits and purchases. The person running the app still chooses the looks, makes short social videos to show them off, and works on keeping users around.
