Vidi

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Mehdi, the creator of VIDI. We’ve all been there: staring at a "Searching..." screen on video chat apps, waiting for a match, or finally connecting only to hit a language barrier. I built VIDI to solve these friction points and make global connection genuinely instant and seamless. What makes VIDI different? 💬 Text First, Video Later: We prioritize comfort. Every match starts with a chat. Break the ice, get comfortable, and switch to live video only when you are ready. No awkward instant camera moments! 🗣️ No Language Barriers: Our real-time text translation engine lets you chat fluently with anyone, whether they speak Japanese, Spanish, or Turkish. 🤖 Zero Wait Time (Powered by Gemini): Hate waiting? We integrated Google's Gemini AI. If a human match isn't found instantly (within 8 seconds), our smart AI steps in with a dynamic persona and native language capabilities to keep the conversation flowing until you find a match. No more empty screens! 🛡️ Secure & Persistent: Unlike many random chat apps, we don't rely on temporary local storage. Your profile and reputation are securely stored in our cloud database, verified with Firebase. Key Features: Instant Text Translation 💬 Seamless Switch to Video Call 📹 Gender & Region Filters 🔍 Smart AI Fallback System 🧠 I'd love to hear your feedback! We are constantly improving our matching algorithm and translation speed. Let me know what you think in the comments! 👇 Cheers
