What we solve - which we think is the biggest problem - is being able to ask what is inside an image.

You as a user, can grab any image, from any website - and ask what is inside it and others can help you. That's what we believe is the biggest problem.

The problem isn't arriving at an image and knowing - its arriving and not knowing. Luminate (and others) require the publishers to tag - however what if you arrive at some website (like the entire of instagram as one tiny example) and want to know what's in an image - where do you go ? Google - nope. That's just similar images they don't tell you any more. Luminate won't help you either.

So that's the difference - luminate and everyone else doesn't actually help you solve a problem as you surf the web.

Love to give you a preview if you're interested - we've done all this bootstrapped. We are only in beta so there will be bugs!



Not to mention rolling over something in luminate pops up a lightbox that obscures the image and has to be closed.
