Video platform for sharing product experiences

Heleot Inc. is a startup based in New York that is building a community around micro video reviews on the latest tech and video game related products.

Solutions

• We have created a custom video editor that generates a thumbnail storyboard for every uploaded video. This way the user can select the 30 seconds he wants to publish right on the platform.
• Our team decided to use Amazon S3 to store the content and Amazon Cloudfront to guarantee high access speed to the video reviews.
• Inappropriate videos are detected automatically. We integrated Heleot with Amazon Rekognition which analyzes all the uploaded videos, blocks suspicious content and sends notifications to the admin.
• To facilitate content indexing, the platform automatically generates a unique link and SEO attributes for every video.

Results

• Watching poorly structured and convoluted video reviews in hope to find the exact product you actually need is a rather daunting experience. Heleots unique framework brings the perfect balance of entertaining yet informative content in a concise form, saving the trouble of going through hours of video reviews. It helps people to make educated consumer choices and connects people with the same interests.
• Enkonix team played a key role in the development of Heleots responsive web platform that is comprised of a web app for video reviewers and an admin panel for the business owner.
• Development of the project MVP took us 5 months and covered only the first phase of the product rollout. During MVP development we have focused on the functionality related to vlogging and social networking functionality. The project architecture and database were designed to be highly scalable and ready for functionality expansion, such as integrations with third-party services.
