Tampere & Oulu, Finland, 10 Sep 2025 ‒ OTT platform leader Sofia Digital and AI-video intelligence pioneer Valossa today announced a strategic product integration that enables OTT services to engage viewers, index content in depth, and unlock new ad revenues ‒ all inside the existing Sofia Digital content workflow. The joint solution is presented as a simple, plug-and-play AI package for OTT operations.

What’s new for OTT teams

Sofia Digital’s OTT CMS and Smart TV app framework now natively taps AI-generated metadata from Valossa AI™ Gen 7, delivering three outcome-driven capabilities:
 
Engage viewers with richer experiences.  Auto-generate multi-style promos and chapterized, interactive previews that let audiences browse before play while honoring safety and suitability policies.
 
Index content deeply.  Produce time-coded transcripts, high-readability captions, translations, chapters, scene descriptions, and on-screen people recognition to supercharge search, content experiences, and personalization.
 
Monetize more moments. Create brand-safe, contextual ad opportunities at scene level aligned with industry content taxonomies and suitability frameworks.
 

Proven at scale

Valossa AI has powered large-catalog operations in the Nordics. Valossa’s automated preview generation has delivered thousands of hours of online promos for MTV Oy and TV4 AB and is now available through Sofia Digital’s production-ready OTT stack.

“Together with Valossa, we’re putting actionable scene-level intelligence directly into the OTT toolchain so customers can launch richer experiences faster and get people engaged with dynamic content exploration”, says Erkki Salminen, Chief Business Development Officer of Sofia Digital.

“We developed Valossa AI™ Gen 7 to understand video like a human and process video content at scale, cost effectively. Your assets need Netflix-like content experience, which we can deliver. Our joint expertise with AI powered OTT automation and Sofia Digital’s market-proven OTT stack gives operators a fast path to automated content enrichment, increased engagement, accessibility, and ad revenue”, says Mika Rautiainen, CEO of Valossa Labs.
