Would it make sense for you to query whether the model is up and idling and if so show a demo widget on landing, both making it possible for potential customers to try (if they are lucky to have landed at the right time) and keeping the model alive?
- stavros 4y agoYes but it's bad UX if people can't see their prompts right away, basically :/ So they're just likely to bounce. A few days ago I was generating images using my home desktop, and had a Web push notification notifying people when it was on. That was much cheaper, but very bad UX, as it could be hours before you got your image (and you were long gone by then).
- throwaway290 4y agoWith a marketing hat on I can see a flow where you (still only if the model is already up and not busy) ask for an email in the "try" prompt, both using it to send the results subsequently and offering an option to subscribe to a newsletter (thus generating new leads). However, I can see why you might choose not to bother with that and find another way to keep the model alive without the try prompt. Edit: didn't you mention it takes 5 sec if model is alive?
- stavros 4y agoAh yeah, that's a good idea for when the model is very async, thank you! I'll keep that in mind.
