I think you need a FAQ.
In the FAQ you could explain how its not going to be a useful tool for stalkers because that's where my mind goes, maybe I watch too many DateLines.
> The Problem: Researching individuals - whether for hiring or personalizing outreach
So you're helping people profile others based on how they look? Aren't we trying to move away from that?
How much have you investigated the legality of this? In the EU biometric data is 'special category data' under the GDPR [0] and can only be processed in very limited circumstances unless you have the consent of the data subject [1]

Though novel, this is pretty unethical.
This product is moderately terrifying. I hope it's illegal to be honest.
Oh man if this gets popular - you're gone. Open and shut case.
Thank you for the feedback, everyone.
I am temporarily pausing and making sure I am within legal limits. If not, I will completely remove face recognition and try other routes to solve the problem.

I have tried to use it, but as soon as I search for someone after log-in, it says that I ran out of credits.
I tried the first link in the demo & it immediately just said I was out of credits. Brave Browser on Android.
Pretty solid product but you definitely need to check your face recognition feature, whether it complies with laws.
I tried signing up for the free version, but I keep getting an error toast.
So I tried to search myself just to see how terrible/awesome this product is. On attempting to use the free plan:
Error: Failed to subscribe to the plan. You ran out of credits. Please upgrade your Plan
Dark pattern, lack of testing, or incompetence? Please do better if you're contributing to the Orwellian surveillance capitalist state
how are you harvesting all this data?
This is such a cool angle for lead gen. Just the other day, I saw some kids using those Ray-Ban/Meta glasses through Instagram Live feeds to grab publicly available data from people almost in real time. It blew my mind.
Sure, this kind of tech will probably go through a lot of scrutiny and for good reason, but whether it’s a consumer product or a custom internal tool, it’s happening.
Excited to see where this goes.
Using biometric data without permission may be illegal. Facebook was sued in Illinois over this.
