Primocys builds complete short-form video platforms from scratch — native iOS & Android apps, web creator dashboards, AI recommendation engines, live streaming, and creator monetization. our live short video Web on both app stores.

Multi-tenant short video platform you white-label and sell to other businesses — each customer gets their own branded platform, admin dashboard, creator tools, and analytics.
Most short video web fail not because of design — but because the feed feels random. Primocys builds a real AI recommendation engine into every short video web — tracking behavior, scoring content, and personalizing the feed within the first 3–5 videos. This is what keeps users coming back tomorrow.
Watch time, replays, shares, follows, comments, skips, likes — all signals sent to the ML pipeline in real time from the web browser.
Video category, audio, hashtags, creator authority + user preference vectors scored into a real-time engagement prediction model.
New videos shown to a small test cohort. High completion rate on the web triggers algorithmic amplification to a larger audience.
Personalized web feed ranked by predicted engagement score per user per video — updated continuously as new signals arrive.
Model retrains on new behavioral data daily — improving web feed personalization accuracy with no manual intervention needed.
Reelboost Proof: The AI recommendation engine powering Reelboost — our live short video web on the App Store & Google Play — is the same architecture we build for every short video web platform client: Python (TensorFlow) + Redis real-time feed scoring + collaborative filtering. Achieves personalized feed accuracy within 3–5 videos of a new user’s first session.
Short video platforms have three distinct surfaces — each serving a different audience and business need. Most serious founders build all three. Here’s the honest breakdown.
/ Mobile App
/ Web Platform
/ Full Ecosystem (Recommended)
Every feature below is proven in Reelboost — our live short video web on both stores. Not aspirational. Not mockups. Production-tested features with real users.
Collaborative filtering + engagement scoring recommendation engine for browser-based video feeds. Personalizes within 3–5 videos. Python TensorFlow + Redis real-time scoring.
Each video gets a unique Next.js SSR URL with title, description, Open Graph tags, and VideoObject schema — making every video indexable by Google and shareable on social media.
Full analytics interface for creators: per-video views, watch time, completion rate, follower growth, earnings breakdown, scheduled uploads, and content management — on desktop.
Browser-based video feed with HLS adaptive bitrate streaming, keyboard navigation, infinite scroll, auto-play, and preloading of next 2–3 videos via CloudFront CDN.
Watch live streams directly in the browser — real-time viewer count, live comments, virtual gift sending, and creator PK battle scores via HLS.js + Socket.io WebSocket.
Stripe-powered web coin purchase flow — viewers buy coins in the browser and send animated virtual gifts to creators during live streams. Platform takes 30–50% commission.
Self-serve brand campaign setup — upload creatives, set targeting (age, geo, interest, category), bid on CPM placements in the video feed, and track impressions, clicks, and ROAS.
Products tagged directly in the video player — viewers click to view product info and checkout via embedded Stripe without ever leaving the video feed page.
AI-assisted content moderation, trending curation, hashtag management, creator verification, user ban and flag system, compliance reporting, and platform health dashboard.
Video hosting and transcoding fees are the #1 hidden cost that kills short video platform unit economics at scale. Primocys self-hosts the transcoding pipeline using FFmpeg, eliminating per-minute SaaS fees entirely.
When a creator uploads a video via the web creator dashboard, our self-hosted FFmpeg pipeline transcodes it into multiple quality levels (360p, 720p, 1080p) and packages it as HLS with adaptive bitrate. Output stored on AWS S3, served via CloudFront CDN — videos load in under 800ms from cache anywhere in the world. No MUX at $0.003–$0.015 per encoding minute. No Cloudflare Stream at $5/1,000 minutes delivered. Only your pay-as-you-go S3 and CloudFront costs. The same pipeline runs in Reelboost right now.
Production-proven on a live app. Every layer below is deployed in Reelboost right now — not theoretical choices. This is what actually works at scale for a short video platform.
