Show HN: Connecting People Through AI-Powered Video Sentiment Matching

12 points by armini 2 days ago

Hi HN,

I’d like to share www.kuky.com, a peer support network that connects people through short, self-recorded videos and matches them using sentiment analysis powered by large language models (LLMs).

We’re building Kuky to help users find others who genuinely understand their emotional journey—not through swiping or likes, but through shared human stories. In this short Loom demo (link above), I walk through how:

Users create a profile by uploading 3 videos: an intro, their mental health journey, and their likes/dislikes

LLMs analyze each video for emotional tone, key themes, and psychological markers

Based on this, Kuky intelligently connects users with similar experiences and emotional alignment

We're passionate about creating a safe, empathetic space for authentic conversation—especially for people dealing with mental health challenges.

For more background, here’s a feature on Kuky in Women Love Tech: https://womenlovetech.com/kuky-the-mental-health-app-were-sw...

Would love your thoughts on the concept, the matching algorithm, and how you’d imagine using something like this.

Thanks, Armin
