Selfie to AI Portrait & Animated Video App

App that transforms selfies into AI-generated portraits and animated videos

In plain English

A phone app from Alex turns a selfie into an AI portrait and can also make that portrait move as a short video. You get a free peek, then a weekly or yearly subscription unlocks the full result. People pay because they want that portrait or moving clip of themselves without booking a photo shoot. Almost all of the picture work, the video work, and the billing is done by the AI. Alex still checks quality, helps users, and shares the app through short videos and the phone app store.
