A B2B Credit Score You Control (No Bureau Required)

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 5:14pm

Traditional business credit reports are outdated, limited, and opaque. We built factiiv so small businesses can track, verify, and share their own payment data. Think FICO, but peer-powered.

Building Personal Digital Twins for Personal Health Optimisation

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 5:08pm

Hi HN, We’re working on BioReplica, a platform that lets you create a digital replica of your own biology, based on your DNA, medical records, wearable data, and physiological metrics. Why? Right now, if you want to know how a supplement, diet, or exercise protocol will affect you, you usually have to experiment on yourself and hope for the best. No two bodies respond the same way, but personalization is still mostly guesswork. BioReplica is an early attempt to change that. We build a personal biological model, a simulation that lets you test "what if?" scenarios safely before trying them in real life.

Examples:

"If I start taking NMN, will my inflammation markers likely improve or worsen?"

"Would intermittent fasting affect my heart health risk, based on my baseline data?"

"Is this new nootropic likely to interact badly with my genetics or medications?"

Instead of generic advice, you can start seeing predictions based on you, your genome, your health history, your day-to-day physiology.

We’re very early. Right now the simulations are basic, focused mainly on lifestyle and supplement interventions. But over time, the idea is to make it richer, more data inputs, better modeling, higher accuracy.

Caveats:

Biology is still messy, and simulations are probabilistic, not certainties.

The platform isn't diagnostic or a substitute for real medicine (and shouldn’t be).

Getting the modeling right is hard, and we’re very upfront about that. The long term goal is for these replica's to be used for pharma simulations. In clinical trials today, most failures happen late, billions spent, and sometimes only then do we learn that a drug doesn’t work or has hidden risks.

Still, we believe even imperfect simulations, if used carefully, can help people make smarter decisions about their health.

If this idea resonates (or if you see flaws we should be thinking about), we’d love feedback.

Show HN: AI Beauty Test – Get AI Score and Tips on Your Selfie (Free, No Login)

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 4:30pm

Hey HN!

Just launched a little side project I've been tinkering with: AI Beauty Test (https://aibeautytest.pro).

It's a simple web app where you can upload a selfie (no login needed!), and an AI model analyzes it. The AI looks at various aspects like:

Facial Features: Assessing things like symmetry, proportions, and general face shape. Skin Condition: Analyzing texture, evenness of tone, and visible blemishes. Based on this analysis, it gives you:

An overall Attractiveness Score (on a 0-10 scale). A few Personalized Recommendations or tips for potential enhancements. Built it mostly out of curiosity about what current AI models can "see" or interpret in terms of facial aesthetics when asked to perform this kind of analysis.

The key things are: it's completely free to use, and there's no signup or login required. Just upload a photo and see what the AI comes back with.

Now, obviously, beauty is super subjective, and AI analysis like this is definitely not perfect – take the score and suggestions with a huge grain of salt! It's more of a fun experiment exploring AI capabilities in image analysis rather than a definitive judgment tool. Consider it a tech demo.

Would love for you guys to give it a try at https://aibeautytest.pro and let me know what you think.

Any feedback, bug reports, interesting or weird results you get are all welcome!

Cheers!
