KERV.ai Tech Stack

AI-powered video advertising platform with frame-level content analysis

Advertising Services Austin, Texas 51–200 employees Founded 2017 Privately Held

KERV.ai builds AI technology that analyzes video content at the pixel level to match ads to context and objects, then connects that analysis to programmatic ad delivery via The Trade Desk, DV360, and Magnite. The tech stack is AWS-heavy with serverless patterns (Lambda, Fargate, SQS, EventBridge) and streaming data infrastructure (Kinesis, Spark), while active projects reveal a shift toward self-serve offerings and dynamic video generation—signaling a move from custom-built campaigns toward scalable, templated workflows.
