-Collaboration with Retty, Japan’s largest real-name-word-of-mouth gourmet service’s Food Data Platform
Tokyo – February 17, 2020 – OPEN8, a company that provides SaaS business, API business, and MLaaS (Machine Learning as a Service) business using its original AI technology centered on natural language processing and computer vision released OPEN8 API Platform, which provides APIs for automatic video generation and recommendation engines.
This enables highly flexible use of the system, such as automatic generation of narrative videos by combining text information, still images, and videos stocked in the database and analysis of video content posted on social media. An API that enables the entire process of video generation is available as a package and it is also possible to use only the necessary functions such as text summarization and analysis dashboards.
Companies can easily process their own text data and still images into videos, which can be used for all kinds of information dissemination, such as providing content for customers, manuals for employees, and corporate introductions for hiring, and are expected to create business opportunities.
◆Outline of Collaboration with Retty
By importing data such as restaurant name, area, word-of-mouth, and user-submitted photos from the “Food Data Platform,” which is a big data collaboration platform in the food field provided by Retty, a short 20-second video that shows the recommended menu and atmosphere of the restaurant is automatically generated on the server and distributed within Retty. Users can efficiently watch the video without going to the next page to lead them to make reservations more smoothly.
Comment from Retty
By converting text and still image information such as reviews and posted photos into video, it is now possible to deliver the appeal of restaurants to users in an easy-to-understand manner. As the number of target stores expands, we will promote the posting of videos by users to create a rich gourmet service that fits into the 5G era. We also aim to create new value as the No. 1 big data collaboration platform in the food domain by providing this initiative to companies through our “Food Data Platform”.
