How It Works
Video Content Targeting AI

Our AI watches and listens to the content itself — no cookies, no PII, no user tracking. Four stages take you from raw video to matched products and ads, powering two monetization products through the same API.

01
👁️

Video Analysis

Scene classification, object detection, setting & environment recognition

02
🔊

Audio Intelligence

Dialogue transcription, sentiment, music mood, topic extraction

03
🛡️

Brand Safety

Every scene screened for unsafe or off-brand contexts — ads never run where they shouldn't

04
🎯

Product 01 — Shoppable Video
Shorten the Path From
Inspiration to Purchase

Half of the $1.2T spent on fashion is spontaneous — triggered by seeing the right item at the right moment. We detect the exact items on screen, match them to your catalogue, and turn taps into orders.

Multi-Object Fashion Detection
Long-form video — real-time product identification during playback
🔍

Precise Product Detection

Frame-by-frame computer vision identifies the exact items worn on screen — across any format from TikTok to broadcast TV, with 90%+ quality (Video2Shop dataset). Offline or in real time.

🛒

Instant Catalogue Matching

Detected products match to exact or visually similar SKUs in your e-commerce catalogue using proprietary visual similarity search — in under 50ms per lookup.

💳

Click-to-Buy, CPA Revenue

Non-intrusive product tags and "shop the look" overlays open a product card without pausing the video. From a tap to checkout in seconds — monetized per conversion, not per impression.

UX Implementation Examples

Video Ads Reimagined as Contextual Discovery

Reference UX implementations can vary from pause-based and QR-enabled TV UX to dynamic mobile overlays. These reference experiences are all powered by the same API.

Paused smart TV showing AI-detected outfit items with prices and QR codes around the frame
Smart TV · HbbTV
Pause the Show, See the Outfit
The pause button is the trigger: detected products appear around the frame with QR codes. Checkout moves to the phone — the TV stays a TV, and the show is never interrupted.
Short-form video on a phone with tappable product tags and an in-video buy card
Short-Form Video
Tap What You See
Clickable tags on detected items reveal details, price, and a direct path to buy — without pausing the video.
Video commerce app where a swipe-up sheet shows every product in the scene with add-to-bag buttons
Video Commerce App
Swipe Up to Shop the Scene
The video keeps playing; a gentle swipe reveals every item in the scene. Add to one universal bag, check out once.
Product 02 — Contextual Video Ads
Ads That Match the Moment,
Without User Tracking

Every moment is classified into standard IAB categories from the Content Taxonomy 3.1. Outdoor → gear. Cooking → kitchenware. Sports → apparel. Sold as premium CPM inventory, with CPA formats on top.

01
1.6X higher CPM
New premium inventory
The revenue driver: real-world deployments show that scene-level targeting turns underutilized content into premium-CPM ad inventory.
02
2X attention duration
Emotional & narrative resonance
The attention anchor: syncing ad creative with the mood of a scene more than doubles viewer attention vs. non-contextual baselines.
03
+50% search engagement
Lower-funnel conversion lift
The intent trigger: luxury brand betas show scene targeting drives large spikes in brand-specific searches — not just views.
04
Higher brand recall
Greater emotional intensity
The memory effect: ads that complement what's on screen drive significantly stronger brand recall than traditional targeting.
