Paris really is the place to be for building an app about being present with your friends irl @bumpbyamo @amoamoamo If you’re a talented Rust, iOS, or Android engineer who wants to build a cool app with cool people, you should join us: jobs.ashbyhq.com/amo?utm_source…

@rachcorrine HELLO I AM ALSO HERE

are you on Bump? it’s quite possibly the most insane app i’ve ever used and it looks like exactly this let me explain: 🧵

Location sharing apps suck…

From Zenly to Bump. New app, same vision. Now go hang out with your friends. 💙

Holy sh*t! I just swapped a UGC creator with an AI character in 5 minutes 🤯 Same video. Same expressions. Same movements. Completely different person. Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who want to test multiple UGC variations without filming 10 different people. The use case: You've got a winning UGC video. The script works. The pacing works. But you want to test it with different creators—different ages, genders, ethnicities—to see what resonates best with your audience. Traditionally, you'd need to: Hire 5-10 different creators → Brief them all → Hope they match the original energy → Pay $500+ per person → Wait weeks This AI workflow does it differently: → Start with your original UGC video → Create AI character image with Nano Banana → Upload both to FAL AI's Wan Animate model → AI swaps the creator while maintaining all facial expressions, movements, sync → Get variation in ~10 minutes The motion tracking is insane. Every head tilt, smile, gesture from the original is replicated perfectly on the AI character. What you can test: → Same winning script, 5 different creator demographics → A/B test which "face" drives highest CTR → Localize content for different markets → Refresh creative without reshooting I recorded a full Loom walkthrough showing the exact process step-by-step. Want the complete tutorial? > Comment "SWAP" > Like this post And I'll send the Loom over (must be following so I can DM) (Obviously, only use this with videos you own 100% rights to + get creator permission upfront if you plan to make AI variations.)

Bump works (really well)

Thanks to our friends @Apple for the love. Bump really is a great app!!

Another really cool Bump update coming up this week-end ;) Really excited to get it out, it's something we should have done back in @zenly days!

Last week, I presented a talk at the Rust Paris conference ! @OCamlPro and @HubOpenSource invited me to talk about how we use Rust at @amoamoamo for our cross-platform, cross-application mobile architecture. For the french-speaking, here is a recording: youtu.be/jlfqW0QUDMg?si…
