INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
AI-powered photo management app Zyl is going back to the drawing board with a streamlined, more efficient redesign
But what about looking back at photos you took one year, three years or even eight years ago It can pile up quite quickly
albums based on multiple criteria and collaborate on photo albums
In other words, it was a utility app.But when the company started talking with some of their users, they realized that one feature stood out
and had more value than the rest.Applying those AI-powered models to your photo library is a great way to find interesting photos
But nobody was really looking at them.When you open the app, you get a view of your camera roll with your last photos at the bottom
When you tap on it, Zyl creates a satisfying animation and unveils an important photo.If you took multiple photos to capture this moment,
the app stitches together those photos and create a GIF
You can then share this Zyl with a friend or family member.But the true magic happens if you try to get another Zyl
You have to wait 24 hours to unlock another photo
The next day, the app sends you a notification when your photo is ready
Maybe you want to see more photos of your brother as his wedding is coming up.And that notification can be a powerful nudge
I keep opening the app and sharing old photos
Zyl is a good example of the combination of something that you care about combined with an element of surprise.
