This project involved developing an AI-powered application to generate personalized video messages for voters during an election campaign. The application used serverless architecture and AI voice synthesis to create unique videos addressing each voter by name while encouraging voter participation. It also provided a way for voters to locate their voting addresses. With the ability to handle massive traffic and generate thousands of personalized videos daily, the application demonstrated the power of AI and serverless technologies in revolutionizing voter outreach strategies.
💭 Our Role
At Technozean, our team played a pivotal role in conceptualizing, designing, and developing this cutting-edge AI-driven application for personalized voter outreach. We collaborated closely with the client to understand their requirements and formulate an effective strategy to achieve their objectives.
🚀 Key Features
- Personalized Video Generation: The application’s core feature was the ability to generate unique, personalized videos for each voter, addressing them by their first and last name in the video. This personalization aimed to create a direct connection with voters, motivating them to participate in the electoral process.
- AI Voice Synthesis: Leveraging advanced AI voice synthesis technology from Elevenlabs, the application could create realistic and natural-sounding voice narrations that matched the intended speakers’ voices precisely. This ensured an authentic and engaging experience for voters.
- Serverless Architecture: Built on a serverless architecture, the application could scale dynamically to handle massive traffic loads and generate personalized videos at an unprecedented scale. This architecture ensured optimal resource utilization and cost-effectiveness.
- Voter Address Lookup: Voters could conveniently search for and retrieve their respective voting address information by simply entering their name or voter ID number. This feature helped facilitate a seamless voting experience by providing essential location details.
- High-Volume Video Generation: The application was designed to handle the generation of approximately 30,000 personalized videos daily, catering to the high demand during the election campaign period.
- Efficient Video Editing and Merging: The integration of the Moviepy library enabled programmatic editing and merging of the AI-generated audio narrations with the video content, resulting in seamless and engaging personalized videos.
- Scalable and Optimized Performance: Various optimization techniques were implemented to ensure the application could handle peak traffic loads without compromising performance or user experience, even during periods of high demand.
- Secure and Reliable: Rigorous testing and quality assurance processes were conducted to ensure the application’s reliability, accuracy, and seamless performance throughout the critical election campaign period.
