Our take
Producing, distributing and optimizing video content can be a painstaking process, especially at scale. SundaySky solves this problem by allowing videos to be created dynamically and at scale in the same way webpages are.
SundaySky's video generating engine creates and renders videos automatically in seconds, and has created billions of video experiences to date. This solution has big appeal for enterprises, and SundaySky now serves big-name customers such as Comcast, Dell and United Airlines.
SundaySky's main challenge is competing with companies that offer similar services, such as Loom and Ziflow. However, the company's impressive client roster and the speed of its engine are strong indicators for future success. It also continues to add new features, for example a generative AI assistant that facilitates faster user-driven video creation through conversational text prompts.
