SendRoom
A privacy-first AI sidecar for one-off large transfers — wedding videos, raw project files, design assets — that drops into any chat and moves the file directly between sender and recipient.
Freelance creatives, small studios, and wedding/event clients who need to send multi-GB files to non-technical recipients without Dropbox or WeTransfer
- Generate a one-time link that opens a WebRTC room in the recipient's browser — no app, no account, no upload to a server
- Auto-compresses only when the user opts in, with a clear 'original size vs. compressed size' comparison
- Receipt confirmation with checksum so the sender knows the exact bytes arrived intact
- Per-client billing view for freelancers: which client sent/received what, with optional auto-invoiced upload fees
Browser-based P2P tools are exploding on HN, but the freelance-creator use case — sending a finished video to a non-tech client — still defaults to paid WeTransfer links, and an AI-assisted version can undercut them on cost and trust.
Multiple 2025/2026 'WeTransfer alternatives' roundups and freelancer videographer delivery guides confirm active ongoing pain, but it's an established recurring need, not an exploding new behavior.How to Deliver Wedding Video Files to Clients: The Complete Guide ↗7 Best WeTransfer Alternatives in 2025 [Free & Paid Options] ↗
Market is crowded: open-source P2P tools (Wormhole, CheezyPizza, DropBridge, airdows, sendfiles.dev, Perkoon) plus paid verticals (TrunkTransfer, MASV, Smash, Filemail, Storia) and the generic P2P HN Show HNs are frequent. The 'AI sidecar in chat' angle is the only differentiated hook.5 Free Browser-Based P2P File Sharing Sites With No Size Limits ↗8 Best File Delivery Tools for Videographers in 2026 ↗
Freelancers do pay (WeTransfer, MASV, TrunkTransfer pricing tiers exist) but P2P space is dominated by free/open-source tools, and adding an LLM 'sidecar' inflates COGS while reducing the cost advantage over cloud flows; willingness to pay for an AI chat layer on top of transfer is unproven.WeTransfer Pricing (2025): What's Free, What's Paid — and a Smarter Alternative ↗Perkoon vs WeTransfer Comparison | P2P vs Cloud Transfer ↗
Large-file delivery for creatives is a durable, evergreen need, but the core P2P transfer problem is steadily commoditized and could be absorbed by native OS, browser, or chat-platform features.Show HN: P2P file transfer using WebRTC | Hacker News ↗
WebRTC P2P transfer is well-trodden with multiple open-source references to clone, but 'drops into any chat' requires per-platform bot/UI integration (Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, iMessage) and an LLM orchestration layer — incremental but non-trivial across heterogeneous APIs.DropBridge - A WebRTC-Based P2P File Transfer Tool - GitHub ↗
