LOS
ANGELES, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS), a global streaming technology and
entertainment company, has selected Vionlabs and Datatonic as key
technology partners for the company's new generative AI search and
discovery tool, cineSearch. Through these strategic partnerships
and developed using Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, cineSearch
promises to redefine how audiences interact with movies through Ava
– new personalized AI video adviser designed to make deciding what
to watch as entertaining as the entertainment itself.
In February, Cineverse announced the groundbreaking plans
to develop cineSearch, which is using the PaLM 2 Large Language
Model (LLM) via Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform to build an
innovative, conversational experience for those seeking guidance on
what films or TV shows to watch.
Vionlabs, renowned for its expertise in cognitive AI, will
provide detailed title and scene-specific metadata, providing
cineSearch with a comprehensive contextual understanding of filmed
content. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, Vionlabs
generates subjective and unique metadata based on colors, emotions,
mood, environments etc, enabling personalization systems to
identify new patterns in user behavior.
"We're excited to join forces with Cineverse to usher in a new
era of personalized entertainment," said Marcus Bergström, CEO of
Vionlabs. "Our advanced AI capabilities will empower cineSearch and
its users to discover content that resonates with them on a deeper
level, enriching their movie-watching experience like never
before."
Vionlabs' metadata, when paired with Datatonic's expertise on
Google Cloud and GenAI, has made this possible - enabling searches
that are both highly specific and deeply nuanced. Additionally, a
collection of guardrails and Google Cloud security best practices
ensures that cineSearch is safe, robust, and ethical.
"cineSearch is poised to reshape the landscape of entertainment,
offering audiences a truly immersive and personalized
movie-watching experience. Unlike traditional recommendation
engines, cineSearch allows users to describe exactly what they're
looking for using natural language. It then taps into an extensive
database spanning blockbusters, indies, classics, and niche titles
from all genres and eras - ensuring recommendations aren't limited
to just the latest mainstream hits. Leveraging a complex chain of
Gemini LLMs, state-of-the-art RAG techniques and guardrail
methodologies, the solution provides safe, secure, factual and
topical experiences to users This collaboration represents a
significant milestone in the industry, marking the dawn of a new
era where technology and storytelling converge to create magic on
screen," said Valentin Cojocaru,
Head of Data Science at Datatonic.
Together with Google Cloud, Vionlabs and Datatonic's expertise,
Cineverse is showcasing its AI-based video assistant at NAB Show
2024 in Las Vegas. Set to
revolutionize how users navigate the vast and confusing landscape
of streaming movies and TV, cineSearch integrates seamlessly with
Cineverse's own streaming platform. The tool will also be available
on third-party platforms and OEMS as a white label SaaS offering,
ensuring anyone anywhere can find the perfect film or streaming
service for any occasion.
"cineSearch represents an evolutionary leap in how audiences
engage with movies," remarked Chief Technology Officer & Chief
Operating Officer of Cineverse Tony Huidor. "By leveraging
cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence, and
partnering with best-in-class technology companies like Google
Cloud, Vionlabs and Datatonic, we're able to empower viewers to
discover content that truly resonates with them, by providing them
with unprecedented insights into the subjective traits of a
film."
"Google Cloud is proud to support Cineverse and Vionlabs in
their mission to revolutionize the entertainment industry," said
Anil Saboo, Director of Industry ISV Partnerships at Google Cloud.
"Our Gen-AI capabilities are enabling innovative solutions that
push the boundaries of what's possible, delivering unparalleled
value to audiences worldwide."
