Hey Product Hunt! I’m Xi—former product lead at OnePlus (Never Settle) and ByteDance AI, where I learned how tech can reshape how we see the world. But somewhere along that journey I realised something was missing:

I was in Barcelona, staring up at Gaudí’s Sagrada Família—utterly moved, yet clueless about why it felt magical.

A quick search gave me ticket prices and souvenir ads. Zero soul. Zero story.

That disconnect wouldn’t let me go. I believe technology should re-frame the world, not flatten it into shopping links. So I left the big-company track and built Chance AI.

What it does

• Snap a photo → Chance delivers the why: history, context, hidden nuances.

• Powered by a multi-agent Visual Reasoning model—built for explanation, not e-commerce.

• Works in 15+ languages and can read answers aloud while you keep walking.

Why it’s different

Google Lens tells you what to buy. Generic chatbots give guesses. Chance AI is a curiosity engine—it connects image to meaning in a single tap.

What makes me proud

Beta users write to say they walk slower now. They notice details on street corners they’d scrolled past for years. That, to me, is magic.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to put your phone down and really see—Chance AI is for you. I’d love your feedback, ideas, and, yes, your upvote if this resonates. Let’s trade scrolling for wonder—one snap at a time. 🙏 Join Discord: https://discord.gg/HwdyAZnCkj

@xi_z So happy to see Chance back again—always full of surprises! 😊

This isn’t just another AI app. It actually makes you look at the world differently. Snap a pic, and boom—stories, history, meaning.

congrats! 👏

Shane Shen

@xi_z Love how personal, thoughtful and real this letter is. "walk slower" really hits me and Chance AI feels genuinely refreshing, congrats!

Parth Ahir

@xi_z You’ve identified a cultural blindspot — the loss of awe amid convenience. Chance AI’s multi-agent visual reasoning powering a richer sense of place and history feels like the antidote to passive scrolling. Excited to try it and rethink how we engage with our surroundings.

🎉 Congrats on the launch, XI @xi_z & Chance AI team! Love how you're turning snapshots into soulful stories—finally, tech that feeds curiosity, not ads! The multi-agent visual reasoning model is 🔥, and the "read aloud" feature is genius for explorers on the go.

🚀 Suggestion: Add an "Offline Mode" for travelers in remote areas (like Gaudí fans deep in a cathedral basement with no signal!).

🤝 BTW, at Tate-A-Tate (no-code full-stack agent builder), your visual reasoning could be a killer paid Agent or Skill for our creators. Let’s colab and make wonder go viral!

Shuyan Li

@rocsheh Wow, thank you so much! 🙌 We’re thrilled you connected with the heart of Chance AI — turning snapshots into soulful stories is exactly our mission.

Love the offline mode idea — totally makes sense for adventurers off the grid.

And Tate-A-Tate sounds amazing — a no-code agent builder + Chance AI visual reasoning? That’s a powerful combo waiting to happen.

@rocsheh Thank you so much for the support! 🙏 Love your idea about offline mode and the Tate-A-Tate sounds super cool too! Would be awesome to team up and bring visual reasoning to more creators.

Quick feedback: I would rename this launch to Chance AI. The long title sounds bland and encourage the eye to skip over.

Xi.Z

@rrhoover Thanks for this valuable feedback, Ryan! You're absolutely right about the naming - and we've already acted on your suggestion. Much cleaner and more impactful!

I actually wanted to thank you specifically - your interview about launch strategies and the Figma case study has been incredibly influential in shaping our product launch approach. Your insight about how Figma effectively used Product Hunt to showcase significant updates really resonated with us. That's exactly why we're here today announcing our Visual Reasoning model - it's not just an incremental update, but a fundamental evolution in how our AI interprets and explains what it sees.

Product Hunt has always been more than just a launch platform - it's a community of future shapers who want to make a real impact through technology. That's exactly the kind of community we want to build and contribute to. We're excited to be part of this ecosystem you've created, where makers can share, learn, and collectively push the boundaries of what's possible.

We've taken your lessons to heart - launching on Product Hunt shouldn't just be about the initial release, but about sharing meaningful developments and building connections with fellow innovators who share our vision of using technology to enhance human experience.

Thanks for continuing to foster this incredible community of makers and for helping us better understand how to effectively engage with Product Hunt. Your feedback has already made an immediate impact! 🙏

@rrhoover Omg can’t believe you stopped by — thank you so much for the generous feedback! 🙏 We’ve already taken action based on your suggestion. Product Hunt has always been more than just a launchpad — it’s a space for bold thinkers and builders. We’re here to connect, learn, and grow alongside incredible people like you. Truly grateful for your perspective!
Shuyan Li

@rrhoover Wow, thanks so much for the tip — really appreciate it! 🙌 Just updated the title based on your feedback.

We originally went with a longer title to highlight the specifics of this update, but totally see how it could come off as bland. We're learning every step of the way — and feedback like this really helps us grow! 😊

Suryansh Tiwari

absolutely love the vision behind Chance AI—bringing depth and meaning to what we see, rather than just recognizing it. It’s refreshing to see a product focused on enriching human curiosity and understanding, not just efficiency. Congrats on the launch, Xi! Can’t wait to see how this changes the way we experience our surroundings—one photo at a time.

@suryansh_tiwari2 Thank you so much — that really means a lot! 🙏 We're building Chance AI exactly for that reason: to help people see more, not just recognize. It’s exciting to hear the vision resonates.

Xi.Z

@suryansh_tiwari2 Thank you for this deeply thoughtful comment! You've pinpointed exactly what drives us at Chance AI - our belief that technology should deepen human understanding rather than just optimize processes. We started this journey because we saw how most visual AI was focused on simple recognition, missing the opportunity to reveal the fascinating stories behind what we see.

Your observation about enriching human curiosity really touches on our core mission. In a world obsessed with efficiency, we chose to focus on depth and meaning. Each photo can be a gateway to understanding history, culture, science, or art - it's about awakening curiosity and making every visual encounter more meaningful.

I'm particularly moved by your comment about changing how we experience our surroundings. That's exactly what we're seeing in early user feedback - people rediscovering their neighborhoods, finding new appreciation for familiar places, and engaging more deeply with their environment.

Thank you for understanding and supporting our vision. We're excited to keep developing ways to make visual discovery even more enriching and meaningful. Keep exploring - every photo has a story waiting to be discovered! 🌟

Ryden Sun

This is such a beautiful use of AI — not to optimize for clicks, but to enrich the human experience. Turning a snap into a story is exactly the kind of tech we need more of. Congrats on the launch, Xi — can’t wait to use Chance on my next city walk. 🙌

Xi.Z

@rydensun 

Thank you so much for this heartfelt comment! You've absolutely captured the essence of what we're trying to achieve with Chance AI. When we started this journey, we were driven by a simple question: "How can AI help people see the wonder in everyday moments?"

It's incredibly validating to hear you describe it as enriching the human experience - that's exactly what we aimed for. We deliberately steered away from the attention economy model because we believe technology should enhance our natural curiosity and deepen our connection with our surroundings, not compete for our attention.

Your mention of using Chance on city walks brings a smile to my face! We've actually tested it extensively during our own urban explorations, and it's amazing how it transforms a regular walk into a journey of discovery. Whether it's revealing the historical significance of architectural details or explaining the cultural context of street art, each photo becomes a gateway to a deeper story.

Please do share your experiences when you try it on your next walk! We're constantly learning from how our users interact with Chance in real-world scenarios, and these insights help us make the storytelling even more meaningful and enriching.

Thank you for seeing and supporting our vision of using AI to amplify human curiosity rather than replace it. This is just the beginning of our journey to make every moment of visual discovery more meaningful. 🌟

Bradon H

@rydensun So nice of you to say! Internally, we talk a lot about striving to make Chance the "opposite of doom scrolling." While a lot of apps these days try to keep you addicted and engaged for all the wrong reasons, Chance instead asks you to go and look for something that inspires you, to try to notice the fascinating stories in the things around you. I use Chance every day, and I personally view it as a kind of mindfulness app. It keeps me engaged with my surroundings and always on my toes, looking for the next interesting thing.

i was waiting for this!!!

Xi.Z

@jaber23 Thanks for your enthusiasm, Jaber! It's especially meaningful coming from someone at RightNow AI - fellow innovators in the AI space understand the challenges and opportunities in making AI more accessible and useful in everyday moments.

We've spent months perfecting our visual reasoning technology because we believed there was a real need for AI that doesn't just see, but truly understands and explains. Your excitement validates that there's a genuine desire for tools that can transform passive observation into active discovery.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts as you use Chance - what use cases are you most excited about? Given your background in AI, I'm sure you'll come up with some interesting applications we haven't even thought of yet.

Keep us posted on your experience with it! Nothing energizes our team more than seeing how people actually use and build upon what we've created. 🚀

With ChanceAI, I can learn something not only in a textbook,

'cause this changes everything around me into something interesting.

Congratulations :)

@pritraveler Thank you so much! 😊 That’s exactly what we hoped Chance AI could do — turn the world around us into something full of meaning and curiosity, far beyond textbooks. We're so glad it's helping you see everyday things in a new light. Keep exploring — there's so much more to discover, and we’re excited to be part of that journey with you! ✨

Charlotte

Love the concept!! I can totally relate to wanting to connect with my surroundings more meaningfully—sometimes I feel like I’m just rushing through life while scrolling.

@trickle Totally feel you — it’s so easy to slip into autopilot. We’re building this exactly for moments like that — to help slow things down and reconnect with what’s around us. More meaning, less mindless scroll.

Supa Liu

This is impressive! Chance AI transforms simple photos into meaningful stories, going beyond basic recognition with its Visual Reasoning feature. It’s like having a smart companion that explains what you see, making everyday moments richer and more insightful.

Xi.Z

@supa_l Thanks for highlighting what makes Chance AI unique! Our goal with the Visual Reasoning feature was exactly what you noticed - transforming everyday photos into opportunities for discovery. It's not just identifying objects, but revealing the stories and contexts that make them meaningful. We built this AI companion to help people see the extraordinary in the ordinary, whether that's understanding architectural influences or discovering historical connections in a simple street scene. Your description of it as a "smart companion" really resonates with our vision of making visual understanding more accessible and enriching for everyone. Keep exploring and sharing your discoveries - we're just getting started! 🌟

Karthus Hill

Chance AI hits a genuine gap—turning curiosity into meaningful insights rather than shopping links. Love the idea of reconnecting us with the stories around us.

@karthus Absolutely — thank you! 🙏 That gap is exactly what we felt too. There's so much beauty and meaning around us that often gets overlooked. We're excited to build something that helps people slow down, look closer, and rediscover the world through curiosity.

Hey everyone! Bradon here, co-founder of Chance AI.


First of all, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us during our Product Hunt launch back in February. We were genuinely blown away by the response. It means the world to us that so many people are using the app to discover new ways to explore, connect with their surroundings, and stumble upon things that truly spark their curiosity.

With that said, I just want to quickly highlight some new features and improvements to the Chance model that come along with this update, our most significant model upgrade to date:

1) Visual reasoning: Chance AI now explains what it sees and how it thinks in real time, for added clarity and accuracy. This is a huge update to our model, and we believe that Chance is truly the first true visual reasoning model available.

2) 17 languages: In addition to English, Chance is now available in the following languages:

  • Spanish / Español

  • French / Français

  • German / Deutsch

  • Italian / Italiano

  • Portuguese / Português

  • Simplified Chinese / 简体中文

  • Traditional Chinese / 繁體中文

  • Japanese / 日本語

  • Dutch / Nederlands

  • Polish / Polski

  • Swedish / Svenska

  • Danish / Dansk

  • Norwegian Bokmål / Norsk Bokmål

  • Finnish / Suomi

  • Czech / Čeština

  • Greek / Ελληνικά

3) Voice output: Chance AI now features audio playback in 13 languages (with more planned soon). Read or listen while you continue on your journey, it's your choice.

It's really about reaching more people and helping more people explore in an exciting new way---in their native language, through text or voice.

Additionally, the model has been learning and improving, and we are constantly refining and adding quality-of-life improvements and enhancements. If you haven't tried Chance since launch, we'd be honored if you'd try it today. We think you'll be surprised by how much it's improved.


Thanks again for the support! Always happy to chat, I'll be here all day. :)

Congratulations on the launch! The UI loos amazing.

@aj_123 Thank you so much! 🙏 So glad you like the UI — we put a lot of love into it. Can’t wait for you to try it out and hear what you think! 😊

Nicole Astor

I'll translate this enthusiastic Chinese comment about Chance AI into natural, authentic English while maintaining the same excited and appreciative tone. The comment focuses on travel enhancement, historical interpretation, and mindful exploration. Chance AI has made traveling so much more fascinating! Having an intelligent AI interpreting history for me is like having the perfect travel companion! It's all about exploring, discovering, and being present in the moment rather than just ticking off tourist spots. This is absolutely amazing - congratulations! @xi_z

Xi.Z

@nicoleastor Thank you for sharing your travel experiences with Chance AI! Your words perfectly capture what we envisioned when creating this technology - not just another travel app, but a genuine companion that helps uncover the hidden stories around us.

I love how you describe it as "interpreting history" - that's exactly what we aimed for! We trained our AI to go beyond simple landmark recognition to understand the historical context, architectural significance, and cultural narratives that make each place special. It's like having a knowledgeable local friend who can reveal the deeper meaning behind everything you see.

Your point about being "present in the moment" rather than just "ticking off tourist spots" particularly resonates with us. In designing Chance AI, we specifically wanted to encourage mindful exploration and genuine discovery, moving away from the checklist approach to travel that's become so common.

Thank you for understanding our vision of using AI to deepen the travel experience rather than just streamline it. Keep exploring and discovering those meaningful moments - we're excited to be your travel companion on these journeys! 🌟

Launching soon!

This is beautifully framed — love the focus on meaning over information!

Quick question: how does Chance handle layered or complex visuals (like art with multiple elements or cityscapes)?

Xi.Z

@dobk Thank you for this thoughtful question and the kind words about our approach! This gets right to the heart of one of our most exciting technical challenges.

Chance AI actually shines with complex, multi-layered visuals - we specifically designed our Visual Reasoning system to break down and analyze scenes hierarchically. When you point it at a cityscape, for instance, it first identifies major elements (architecture, urban layout, natural features), then progressively dives deeper into interesting details, relationships, and historical/cultural connections.

For artwork, our system analyzes both compositional elements and their symbolic meanings. Take a Renaissance painting - Chance will identify not just the obvious figures and objects, but also decode symbolic meanings, artistic techniques, historical context, and even spot subtle details that connect to broader art historical narratives.

We also built in what we call "progressive discovery" - you can tap on any element the AI identifies to get an even deeper analysis of that specific component. This helps manage complex scenes without overwhelming users with information all at once.

That said, we're constantly refining our multi-element analysis capabilities. We'd love to hear about specific complex scenes you'd like to analyze - user feedback helps us improve how we handle different types of layered complexity. Have any particular types of complex visuals you're curious about testing?

Love how this turns photos into learning moments—perfect for visual learners like me! The multilingual feature is a game-changer, and I adore that it explains things instead of just identifying them. Finally, an AI that helps us understand the world, not just scan it. Can't wait to try it out! 👀🌍

Bradon H

@rani_zagita Really appreciate it! When we first launched, we found that while some people loved the text output, but some people really wanted a different way to interact. Like you said, different types of learners---Visual learners vs auditory learners. We really want to make Chance as accessible as possible, for everyone.
