Solution

Universe Group is a Ukrainian company that drives the growth of global IT ventures. Over the years, it has successfully launched three thriving businesses—Guru Apps, FORMA, and Wisey—while also expanding its research and development center. Today, nearly 151 million people in 180 countries rely on the company's innovative products. The company's latest venture, Visify, showcases how Amazon Web Services (AWS) can power sophisticated photo- and video-editing capabilities at scale. Using Amazon SageMaker —a service used to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models—Universe Group transformed Visify from a simple photo-enhancement tool into a robust solution that is powered by artificial intelligence (AI).

Data flow

Launching Advanced AI Photo and Video Processing Launched in 2023, Visify is a mobile app that uses AI to edit photos and create personalized videos. To accommodate user demand, Universe Group needed to scale this photo- and video-processing infrastructure while maintaining rapid delivery and high-quality outputs. Visify has also processed over 600,000 unique AI-generated photos and videos, using up to 3.5 TB of GPU memory at peak performance.
