Building a Real Product with Biometric Surveillance Tools (What I Learned)

The Setup

I spent the last few weeks going deep on biometric surveillance tools. Not just reading docs or watching demos — actually using them on real projects. Here's what I found.

First Impressions

Clearview Ai immediately stood out for onboarding. Pimeyes had a steeper learning curve but more power under the hood. Palantir surprised me the most.

What I Actually Ended Up Using

After testing everything, my daily driver ended up being a combination. For most tasks I stuck with Clearview Ai, but for specific workflows Pimeyes was unbeatable.

The Honest Verdict

If you're looking for biometric surveillance tools in 2026, don't just follow the hype. Test at least 3 options yourself. What works for my workflow might not work for yours — and that's fine.
