Hey everyone!
I’m Xi, founder of Chance AI. Our co-founder Bradon and I met at OnePlus in 2014, where we worked to make technology more human. We’ve always believed in "Never Settle" and co-creating with the community—and we’re bringing that same spirit to Chance AI.
I remember standing in front of Sagrada Familia, mesmerized by its design—but I had no idea why it looked so unique. I searched online, but all I got were tourist tips and ticket links. That moment made me realize: we look at so many things, but how often do we truly see?
That’s why we built Chance AI—to turn curiosity into knowledge, instantly.
What Makes Chance AI Different?
Goes beyond descriptions – While other AI apps recognize objects, Chance AI tells the whole story—history, details, and hidden insights in one snap.
Smarter visual recognition – More precise, specific, and accurate than ChatGPT Vision or Google Lens (try it side by side and see the difference).
One-click simplicity – No need to type follow-up questions. Just snap a photo, and Chance AI delivers the most relevant insights instantly.
Special Launch Offer for Product Hunt
For the next 16 days, we’re giving full access to all Pro features—no restrictions. Plus, if you download and create an account this week, you’ll get a Founder’s Account (badges coming soon) with exclusive lifetime perks.
The Road Ahead
A huge thanks to our beta testers who’ve helped refine our AI over the past months. This is just the beginning—we’re working on making the app even smarter, more interactive, and community-driven.

@xi_z Impressive, I love the concept and overall design, Congrats on the launch
Chance AI
@victoria_wu Thanks for the kind words! Really means a lot to hear you find it fun - that's exactly what we were hoping for. We built Chance AI because, honestly, I kept finding myself taking photos of random things and going down Wikipedia rabbit holes trying to learn more about them.
While we're still working on improving our recognition accuracy (especially for more obscure objects and art pieces), it's encouraging to see others who share that same curiosity for discovering the stories behind everyday things. If you come across any interesting discoveries while using the app, I'd love to hear about them. User stories help us understand what kinds of recognition patterns we should prioritize next.

@dineshan_sithamparanathan Thank you - really appreciate the specific callout on the design. We actually went through about 8 different iterations of the UI before landing on this one. Our early versions were much more cluttered, trying to show too much information at once.
Would love to hear which design elements you find most effective. We're currently working on improving the results layout to better organize different types of information (historical context vs technical details vs related items). It's a tricky balance between keeping it clean while still surfacing all the interesting connections we find.
@xi_z Chance AI definitely offers us a chance to snap to unlock rich stories, history, and insights instantly. Congrats on your great work!

@wellwhale Thank you for such kind words! It's truly heartwarming to hear how Chance AI helps people discover those rich stories hiding in plain sight. Every snap really does unlock a new world of knowledge, and it's amazing to see how our users turn everyday moments into opportunities for discovery.
Let's gooooo!

Recap
It's kind of like a photo-based Wikipedia, is that right?
Chance AI
@zhiqi_shi That's an okay way to think about it, but I'd say that the results Chance AI provides are more focused. We really worked on the visual training that allows Chance to "understand" the images and give relevant results. For example, if you take a picture of a building, you'll probably get history and information about the architect, as well as design cues and inspirations. If you take a picture of a houseplant, you'll instead get regional information and care tips. Chance also uses live data and can provide information on breaking news.
So, chance doesn't just pump out generic information pages, it really is quite focused and clever. Give it a shot!
Recap
@bradon_h Got it. Maybe you could also try integration something like DeepSeek or other models to see what happens.
Chance AI
@zhiqi_shi Pretty much! Think of it like Wikipedia with a camera - except we try to focus on just the interesting bits about what you're actually looking at, rather than dumping a whole encyclopedia on you. Still working on getting better at guessing which parts of the photo you're most curious about, but that's the idea.
