About

Bernard Huang

I'm Bernard Huang. I build things with AI — and I pay for the tools I review out of my own pocket.

I run tabiji.ai, a travel planning platform that uses Reddit data and AI agents to generate real itineraries. The entire site — thousands of pages, hundreds of videos, dozens of automated pipelines — was built with AI. Before that, I co-founded Clearscope, an enterprise SEO content optimization platform used by companies like HubSpot, Shopify, Condé Nast, NVIDIA, Adobe, IBM, and AWS. We bootstrapped it to 7-figure ARR.

This site — Zonted — is where I document my experiments with AI tools. I sign up, I pay, I test them on real projects, and I write up what I find. No sponsored access, no affiliate-first reviews, no surface-level takes. Every review on this site was done by someone who actually uses these tools in production.

I started this because the AI video ecosystem is genuinely confusing. Diffusion models, Chinese models, API brokers, self-hosted options — and very little honest written content to help people decide. So I'm doing it myself.

New to the site? These three pieces are a good introduction to what I do and how I think:

  1. MakeUGC Review — My most detailed tool review. I tested every feature, documented the prompt iteration process, and showed the actual cancellation email.
  2. AI-Generated Instagram Reels: What Actually Works — Real data from 48 hours of testing AI-generated Reels across Instagram, YouTube, and X. The format that got 3,000+ views and the ones that flopped.
  3. Slop → Iterate → Curate — My framework for AI content production. Why you have to start bad to get good, and how we killed most of our formats to scale the survivors.
