DRIMM uses AI agents to automate operations:

- Personalization Engine - Netflix-level recommendations
- Community Manager Agent - User support & engagement
- And 20+ more agents planned...
This allows a solo founder to do the work of a 20-person team.
The Problem:
- AI video tools showcase 99% Western/Asian content
- African narratives are massively underrepresented
- No platform celebrates diverse global stories
The Solution:
- Global platform open to ALL creators
- Dedicated African Stories spotlight
- AI-powered discovery & recommendations
- Built by a data scientist who understands ML
The Vision:
- Netflix for AI-generated videos
- Cultural archive for the future
- Platform where Anansi meets Atlantis
- 100K users, $50K/month revenue, still solo founder
DRIMM is currently in private development. Stay tuned for contribution guidelines post-launch!
