And what were you seeing at Google Cloud at the time that sort of gave you the idea for this? What was the initial product you launched?

Jeff LuGUEST
I have been working on the generative AI for images and videos for a pretty long time.

Jeff LuGUEST
At that time, Google is pretty conservative on generative AI, especially on videos and so on.

[laughs] So when you think about visual storytelling, how does 8coul do these things that no one else seems to be able to do?

Jeff LuGUEST
So on the video storytelling, I think a person is the most important thing in the story.

Jeff LuGUEST
So we really focused on the person, the characters in the story and try to generate photorealistic and peoples and so on that it's very hard to tell it's AI or not.

Jeff LuGUEST
And meanwhile, a very unique stuff is we are doing, uh, lots of this stuff in live real time, as well as running on the edge devices rather than on depending on the cloud compute.
