Working title: Harmar-style copycat for Portuguese and Spanish creators (working name)

Summary

BriefingVerifiedSelf-reported

Harmar AI (founded 2026-06-03, US) turns an uploaded video into captions in about a minute and handles speakers who switch languages mid-sentence, keeping each word in its own script, across 55+ languages. TrustMRR (Verified) shows $3,631 revenue in the last 30 days (+42.8%), $23,111 all-time, $3,226 MRR (+21.6% in 30 days), 247 active subscriptions (about $13 each) and a 91% margin (profile, Self-reported).…

Age is 146 days, inside the window but near its end. It is listed for sale at $150,000 (3.4x revenue) since 2026-10-26. This is the smallest of today's three: the caption category is crowded (CapCut, Submagic, Captions). HBV angle: Portuguese/Spanish/English code-switching captions (Spanglish, Portunhol) for LatAm creators, a pain mainstream tools handle badly, with an SEO and template play.

Description

Original: upload a video, get captions in about a minute; switching languages mid-sentence keeps each word in its own alphabet; 55+ languages (TrustMRR description). HBV version: web app for LatAm creators and small brands: upload or paste a link to your own video, get accurate PT-BR/ES/EN code-switching captions with brand styles, export to SRT or burned-in; monthly plan by minutes.…

Global Application: accurate captions for bilingual and code-switching speakers in any language pair. LatAm Version: Portuguese-English, Spanish-English and Portuguese-Spanish switching, regional slang, Pix/card billing.

Target customer

Bilingual and Spanish/Portuguese-speaking short-video creators and small brands in LatAm

Pain

Auto-captions break on language switches and need manual fixing

Jobs to be done

When I post bilingual videos and captions break on language switches, I want accurate captions for mixed-language speech, so I can publish faster without fixing every line.
