Hi. FYI.

Hi. FYI. Deepword will disappear on September 30. Very sad news from Ankush, the company CEO. This is the notification. I received it yesterday in my email inbox. I don't quite understand how they can go out of business only 2 months after being here on Appsumo. ----------------- Ankush Letter ----------------- Hello Everyone, This is Ankush from DeepWord. I just wanted to let you know that we unfortunately will be shutting down DeepWord and all of its servers at the end of this month on September 30th, 2022 at 12:00 PM EST. We’ve had an incredible journey over the past 2 years: Growing to 60,000+ users that went on to generate over 150,000 minutes of video is no small feat. However, we’ve come to a stage where we can no longer continue with this project due to global market conditions (ie. recession, high-interest rates, inflated server costs, funding constraints). Synthetic media is an exciting new industry with tons of potential but also immense growing pains. We tried everything we could to keep DeepWord afloat, from switching cloud providers, to building our own servers, to even partnering with new emerging cloud startups. However, our attempts to manage these issues were inconsistent even with decent early-stage funding. It deeply saddens me that this is the way things turned out to be. With that being said, I’d like to personally thank all of you for entering into this journey with us. Although we never reached our mass-adoption goal of video personalization at scale, we’ve learned immensely from all of you, in ways that much of our team cannot articulate. Again, thank you all for your support and love. We wouldn’t have made it even this far without you all. Our dream is still very much alive, so perhaps we can reopen DeepWord with higher video resolution, better video actors, and more integrations when the conditions for synthetic video production are more favorable. To reiterate & clarify, we will be shutting down DeepWord and all of its servers at the end of this month on September 30th, 2022 at 12:00 PM EST. If you have any videos you generated that you’d like to save, please log into the website and download them to your local files before this date. All active monthly subscriptions to DeepWord will be canceled on this date as well. No one will be charged anything after this date. Your personal data/info will also be completely wiped on this date. With Love, Ankush Bikkasani Founder/CEO ankush@deepword.co https://www.linkedin.com/in/ankushbikkasani/

    I find it hard to believe they had no idea it was going this way 2 months ago. Then they do a massive sale on AppSumo. A week after the refund period is over, I get this email.

    My first deal on AppSumo, fully stacked.

    To me, it looks like intent to defraud.
