Do not mistake the interface for the product. Photoleap's durable value is proprietary model, inference, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability

What you give up

  • licensed training data and style tuning
  • fast elastic inference
  • safety, moderation, and mobile distribution
  • high-fidelity color, format, and export handling
  • the vendor's proprietary model quality

Why people still pay

Photoleap: The interface is replaceable. The subscription buys the model, aesthetic tuning, inference fleet, safety work, and rapid improvement.

Before you start

  • GPU-capable machine or user-provided inference API
  • Python 3.12
  • model weights obtained under their own licence
  • Explicit README warning that this is a consolation build, not a production replacement

engineering roadmap

Implementation plan

1

Phase 1, architecture and data

Use exactly this stack: Python 3.12 + FastAPI + ComfyUI API + React. Model prompts, model settings, generation jobs, source assets, and exported images; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.

2

Phase 2, implement

For mobile AI photo editing, accept a prompt, selected model, seed, and output dimensions; validate the model path or declared provider credential.

3

Phase 3, implement

Run one generation job and persist model parameters, status, and the produced file path.

4

Phase 4, review and output

Preview the image, allow a prompt revision, and export the image with a JSON sidecar recording generation settings.

5

Phase 5, recovery and acceptance

Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: A failed or cancelled model job retains its prompt and source assets; an exported image must reopen at the recorded dimensions. State the practical limit: licensed training data and style tuning.

the pro prompt
Build me a focused mobile AI photo editing workflow for the personal core of Photoleap. Requirements:

- Use exactly this stack: Python 3.12 + FastAPI + ComfyUI API + React. Model prompts, model settings, generation jobs, source assets, and exported images; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
- Paid product context: Mobile photo editing, generative effects, templates, and compositing. Build only this DIY scope: Build the closest honest personal mobile AI photo editing console around a locally available image model, with prompt history and file export.
- For mobile AI photo editing, accept a prompt, selected model, seed, and output dimensions; validate the model path or declared provider credential.
- Run one generation job and persist model parameters, status, and the produced file path.
- Preview the image, allow a prompt revision, and export the image with a JSON sidecar recording generation settings.
- Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: GPU-capable machine or user-provided inference API; model weights obtained under their own licence.
- Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: A failed or cancelled model job retains its prompt and source assets; an exported image must reopen at the recorded dimensions.
- Out of scope: licensed training data and style tuning; fast elastic inference. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow.
- Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

Questions about Photoleap

Can you build your own Photoleap with AI?

A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. Photoleap's durable value is proprietary model, inference, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.

What does the Photoleap build prompt cover?

The prompt starts with this scope: Build the closest honest personal mobile AI photo editing console around a locally available image model, with prompt history and file export. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: licensed training data and style tuning; fast elastic inference; safety, moderation, and mobile distribution. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.

How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?

Start with the Photoleap prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.

How long will this Photoleap project take?

The catalogue estimate is not a true replacement; consolation build in one to two days for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.

What would I give up by replacing Photoleap?

licensed training data and style tuning; fast elastic inference; safety, moderation, and mobile distribution; high-fidelity color, format, and export handling; the vendor's proprietary model quality. Photoleap: The interface is replaceable. The subscription buys the model, aesthetic tuning, inference fleet, safety work, and rapid improvement.

What can I use instead of building Photoleap?

The prior-art section lists ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion WebUI as starting points. Review their current scope, license and maintenance before adopting one.
