About
The difference between 1,000 views and 100,000 views often comes down to a single image.

It designs expressive faces, bold text overlays, and high-contrast compositions calibrated to YouTube's algorithm. For channels publishing 3+ videos per week, it turns thumbnail design from a guessing game into a data-driven system.

No surprises so far — that is a good thing. Helpful when the team is stretched thin. Would try again on a new project.
Steady output week to week. Edge cases pop up, but nothing major. Exactly the level of detail we wanted.
We would use it again in a similar situation. Communication has been fine. Good stopgap until we hire more people.
We would use it again in a similar situation. Communication has been fine. Support has been fine the few times we needed it.
Simple to reason about when something changes. Good for routine work in the middle of the funnel. Three months in and still fine with it.
No surprises so far — that is a good thing. Helpful when the team is stretched thin. No regrets so far.
Less back-and-forth than we had before. We rarely need to redo work. Happy to leave a short note here.
Worth trying if you want something hands-off. We would like more customization eventually. Not perfect, but fair value.
