VidChemy
Converting short-form promotional videos into marketplace-ready, SEO-optimized e-commerce listings - in minutes.
Inspiration
Small creators and influencers drive over 40% of online product discovery through short-form videos on Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
Yet, over 70% of them struggle to convert that viral content into structured e-commerce listings efficiently.
Sellers spend 6–10 hours per product, manually:
- Extracting images
- Editing visuals
- Analyzing competitors
- Writing SEO content
They typically use 4–6 different tools, making workflows fragmented and slow - delaying product launches by up to 60% and reducing their ability to monetize viral content..
We built VidChemy to change that: a single AI-powered pipeline that automates the entire process, helping sellers go from video → live product page 10× faster.
Process Flow

A high-level view of how a video is ingested, analyzed, and transformed into a final e-commerce listing.
What It Does
VidChemy transforms short-form promotional videos into fully optimized e-commerce product listings within minutes.
It:
- Analyzes video, audio, and post metadata for context
- Extracts the best product frame automatically
- Cleans and enhances it into a 1:1 product image with background removal
- Generates SEO-optimized titles, descriptions, and keywords
- Runs competitor and sentiment analysis for ranking optimization
Vidchemy's AI-generated listings score 92/100 on SEO and 85/100 on Total Listing Score - with full marks on title optimization, keyword optimization, and bullet points, validating the effectiveness of the end-to-end pipeline.
How We Built It
We built VidChemy on a robust AI-first pipeline running fully on AWS.

VidChemy's scalable, worker-based cloud architecture.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: React + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS
- Backend: Node.js + Express + MongoDB
- Task Management: BullMQ for distributed worker pipelines
- Media: FFmpeg for frame extraction & media optimization
- AI & ML: Amazon Bedrock for end-to-end AI pipeline, using Nova Pro for SEO-optimized listing generation, Bedrock Video Analysis for frame/scene understanding, Amazon Transcribe for audio transcription, and Titan Image Generator for professional background removal and product image enhancement
- SEO Engine: Competitor + review sentiment–based optimization
- DevOps: Dockerized stack, orchestrated via Docker Compose
- Deployment: AWS EC2 + Nginx reverse proxy + SSL (DuckDNS)
AWS-Powered Architecture Enhancing AI-Driven User Experience
- Ingestion & Safety (AWS Bedrock Video Analysis): Automatically filters incoming Instagram Reels for relevance and safety, keeping the processing pipeline clean.
- Precision Extraction (AWS Transcribe & Bedrock OCR): Combines audio transcripts with on-screen text recognition to flawlessly identify product names and features.
- Visual Enhancement (AWS Bedrock Titan): Automatically removes backgrounds to instantly generate professional, manual-effort-free product imagery.
- Listing Optimization (AWS Bedrock Nova Pro): Leverages competitor and sentiment data to auto-generate A10-optimized listing copy that drives engagement.
