AI-driven shoppable video and shopping-agent platform for commerce brands
Firework sells shoppable video and an AI shopping agent to brands running DTC and retailer storefronts. Its stack pairs a real-time media core (Elixir/Phoenix, Go, FFmpeg, GStreamer, WebRTC) with agent frameworks LangChain and CrewAI, pointing to live video plus agentic AI as the product center. Accelerating, senior-weighted hiring across engineering and sales, alongside pains around churn and GTM systems built from scratch, suggests a push to rebuild revenue operations.
