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.

  • 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

Output Quality

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.

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
