Puppetry

"Why I HATE Puppetry" I returned from a two-week break to an anonymous bug report on Puppetry titled "Why I HATE Puppetry" 🙄 Needless to say, I opened the thread a bit hesitant and dejected, but it turned out to be such a wonderful read. A customer defended us for discussing what we've been working so hard on. It's so heartening to see this. I love our customers. Thank you, Maria! ❤️ https://lnkd.in/gxDtMCXS

🚀 Puppetry’s PMF Survey Results Are In! 🚀 We recently asked 5% of our users how they feel about Puppetry, and I’m thrilled to share the results. 💍 The Question:  “How would you feel if you could no longer use Puppetry?” Very disappointed: 50.6% (126) 👈 👈 Somewhat disappointed: 21.7% (54) Not disappointed: 27.7% (69) 🔍  Summary: Users surveyed: 4248 Responses received: 249 Viewed survey: 1024 (24.1%) Closed survey: 2970 (70.0%) Completed survey: 249 (5.9%) Half of our surveyed users said they’d be very disappointed without Puppetry! Puppetry is becoming an essential tool for many users. Why a PMF Survey? Like Slack, we used the PMF survey to understand how well Puppetry fits into our user’s workflow and its overall impact on their productivity. The main question, “How would you feel if you could no longer use Puppetry?” helps us determine the indispensability of our product. According to industry standards, if at least 40% of respondents are “very disappointed”, it indicates a strong PMF 🏅. If you saw this survey and responded, thank you! You are fantastic 🤗!

The Puppetry App on iOS is ranked #16 in Graphics and Design! Lesson Learned 👉 It's counter-intuitive, but moving from a Free App to a Paid App led to more purchases and more supportive customers. Even though the last feature update to the App was five months ago! Aiden Tracey Sarah Reyes @kimberlyalbarina Erin Winkler-McCue 🙌

Check out Puppetry.com's newest GPU server 🤖 ! A 7X M6000 SuperMicro 4028 GR-TR 4U server with an "advanced" cooling system. Built at 1/10th the cost of a new server. * All used components -- Thanks to UNIXSurplus + a shoutout to Justin! * Removed the inbuilt cooling fans because they are too loud (at home) and replaced with a DIY cooling system 😉. * Runs tasks from 1000+ users daily at ~ 1/20th the cost of running the same load on AWS or GCP. And I've named it `Octagon` 🏫! My favorite place to hang out during college. If you are looking to geek out on AI hardware, reach out! I'd love to talk. #gpucomputing

BIG NEWS 🔥 Today, we welcomed our 50,000th creator to Puppetry 🚀! In December we started with about 2000 video creators 📈. Putting things in perspective, 50,000 creators is roughly equal to: - The population of a small city - Over 4,000 hours of short video content - 1 person making a Puppetry video every day for 137 years Our Canva app has only been live since early December - less than two full months. It’s amazing to think that in this short time period, 50,000 people have used Puppetry to create compelling video and photo assets for social engagement, with each video taking <5 minutes to create! This wouldn’t have been possible without our core champions and thought partners: Prof. Stefano Ermon, Vineet Khosla, Erin Winkler-McCue, Clayton Bryan, Leonard Lee, Melania Edwards, Jordan Sawadogo and Agahuseyn Ahmadov. And the constant support of the incredible team at Canva -- Abi Castro, Meredith Hassett and Andrew Krutz, Thank you 🙏! With incredible Benjamin McMahan, we’re Puppetry and we’re just getting started 💪. Check us out at 👉 puppetry.com P.S. In case you’re curious, the number of characters created to-date with Puppetry is greater than the number of residents of San Francisco 😳 Comment below or reach out if you’d like to learn more or discuss a potential partnership. #thursdaymotivation #thursdaythoughts #thankfulthursday

Tried my hand at using AI to write a stand up comedy routine and then also animate it. Came out better than I expected for a first draft.

ELBO AI is now Puppetry 👉 puppetry.com 🎉 When we started out, we wanted to build tools for AI researchers. ELBO was a nice acronym with which researchers were familiar, especially in the Diffusion Model space, so it made sense at the time. However, as we refined our vision for the future, Puppetry became the more fitting name.
