Purifier - Video conferencing AI assistant for Mac

Do you plan release it on Linux?

Congrats on the launch @maxim4400 Those virtual audio drivers can be whimsical. Have you tested it on M1?

Thanks, @chrismessina for hunting! Hi, Hunters! 👋 We, VisionSystems, the independent team with development offices in Russia, normally specialize in outsource ML developments. For some years we have been developing ML-based solutions for the top Russian companies. 🤫 Spoiler! Purifier's mission is to make online meetings more enjoyable by expanding their capabilities in any video conferencing software. Some prehistory 🧭 The pandemic has also affected our company and many of our employees began to work from home. Of course, we were holding our meetings purely online, just like everyone else. And these were the difficulties and limitations we have faced: ー Employees are not always comfortable showing the place from which they call; ー Online meetings sometimes get interfered with the background noises: a barking dog, repairs from the neighbors, screams of children, and even the noise of a vacuum cleaner; ー We weren’t able to settle with only one program with all necessary functions for online meetings, since all our clients have different preferences for programs; ー There were cases where a person had an unexpected meeting while being in a café and had to postpone it due to the extraneous noises or an inappropriate background After conducting a research 📖, we realized that many companies and people faced the same challenges and had to adapt to the new rules of work and remote communications. Someone is trying to solve this problem in their own way, someone is still struggling. There are programs on the market that solve some of the issues: ー Krisp is a program that filters extraneous noise. ー XSplit is a program that allows you to change backgrounds through your webcam. But there is no single, simple solution for all these issues at once. 🤔 About the project ☝️ As a result, we have created a program named Purifier. You can install it on your computer and use the sound filtering and background replacement functions in almost any video conferencing software that does not have these useful integrated functions. It was a challenge for us to create a neural network that can change backgrounds and simultaneously enable us to filter unnecessary noise. Using our expertise in computer vision, it seems that we have managed to solve this difficult task that has cost some companies millions of dollars. Even though the quality of some functions of our first version has still room for improvement, they have one game-changing advantage: you can apply them to those video conferencing programs that do not provide them initially. What features will Purifier offer in the future? 🙌 The first version of the program offers only two core functions. Clearly, we are eager to add more of them in the next versions: ✓ Demonstration of slideshow presentations in place of the virtual background; ✓ Creating your unique virtual background and applying it at a click of a button; ✓ Drawing with gestures; ✓ Recording and storing the video records of the meetings; ✓ Tagging and minutes taking; ✓ AR Emoji; The future Purifier: our vision and your feedback 🚀 We see Purifier as an Assistant that will combine a whole number of the most useful tools. All you’ll need to do is to fine-tune the settings of Purifier once and you will be able to activate the noise filtering and change the background that will automatically adjust itself to the lighting in your room. Should you decide to demonstrate the slides during your online meeting, they will conveniently replace the virtual background and you will be able to draw with gestures. And if in a week you will feel the need to review some things from that meeting, the record, the minutes of the meeting and the tagging will be available any time. Purifier can provide all that in almost any video conferencing program. We are excited to move on and start testing. We would really appreciate if you could participate in our beta testing and provide any feedback. What will you gain? As a “thank you” gift only our first users will get a free subscription, an opportunity to get the freshest updates promptly and, of course, a chance to pitch your ideas that might impact the product directly.
