Would an anonymous AI tool that removes identifying features from videos help you feel safer?

Need Advice :snoo_thoughtful:

Hi everyone 💜

I’m working on a small privacy project and I wanted to ask people here directly, because I feel this community understands digital safety in a way many others don’t.

The idea is a fully anonymous AI tool that helps remove identifying information from videos — for anyone who wants to protect themselves, their partners, or their environment.

The tool would:

  • automatically blur faces
  • hide tattoos / unique body features
  • remove background details that could reveal where you are
  • blur license plates if it’s outdoors
  • extract key frames so you don’t have to scroll through the whole video
  • work entirely in the browser
  • no account, no login, no tracking
  • files auto-delete shortly after processing

Basically: something you could use even in incognito mode without leaving any trace.

I’m curious:

  1. Would this actually help people feel safer?
  2. What features matter most to you?
  3. What would make you trust (or not trust) something like this?

Not promoting anything — just trying to understand real needs before I build more.

Thanks for reading, and thank you for any thoughts you’re comfortable sharing. 🏳️‍🌈💜
