How I Built Google Photos - Y Combinator Just watched YC's video on how David and team built Google Photos, and it’s a brilliant reminder of how solving everyday annoyances can create billion-dollar products. The problem? Phones running out of space because of endless selfies, blurry photos, and screenshots we never revisit. The solution? A cloud-based system that stores, organizes, and even tags photos using AI. Google Photos wasn’t just storage : it became a personal assistant for your memories. Key insights: Solve real problems that billions face like freeing up storage ( it's probably the most common problem of Indian adults ) Leverage AI to make the product smarter and user-friendly (tagging your dog and recognizing people). Focus on scalability. Google Photos works seamlessly, even with billions of users. A simple idea, executed exceptionally well, changed how we store memories forever. I would recommend you all to watch the full video.
