AI & Full-Stack Developer at MagicShot.ai: builds the AI image and video tools, then writes about how they actually work.
I'm Vikas, an AI and full-stack developer at MagicShot.ai, where I build the tools behind 84+ AI generators used by 400K+ people. Most of what I write here comes from problems I hit in production wrangling diffusion models into usable headshots, killing the prompt that keeps generating six-fingered hands, getting a video pipeline to hold character consistency across cuts. I test every workflow before I publish it. If a model or parameter doesn't do what the marketing claims, I'll tell you. No fluff just what works and what breaks.
