Launched this week
Effects SDK helps developers add production-ready AI video and audio effects to web, desktop, and mobile apps. Add background blur, virtual backgrounds, smart framing, lighting correction, beautification, overlays, avatars, and real-time noise suppression — all running client-side, without sending video or audio to our servers.
Background blur and noise suppression running fully client-side is a nice setup, and the API looked straightforward when I dropped it into a quick test build.
background blur and noise suppression running straight in the browser felt surprisingly smooth on my laptop, no server round trips in sight.

@kuzeycoerzcpg Thank you! We did a lot of optimization specifically for the web.
Amazing work, congrats on the release! I'm currently using your previous SDK for virtual backgrounds in my app AlterCam, and it's been a great experience. I'll definitely be checking out and testing the new Effects SDK soon. Best of luck on Product Hunt! 🙌

@max_smirnoff Thank you so much!
We really appreciate your support and would love to hear your feedback once you’ve had a chance to test the new Effects SDK. 🙌
Does the SDK handle all the ML inference on-device, or does it still need to ping a license server to validate usage on first launch?
Background blur just works out of the box and the noise suppression actually cleaned up my messy headset mic, which I was not expecting.
Background blur and noise suppression worked instantly in my browser without any signup hoops, which was refreshing. Impressed it runs fully client-side so nothing leaves the device.
The client-side processing is a smart call, especially for apps where users care about not having their audio and video leave the device. Nice execution on something most people won't notice but definitely appreciate.
