HOLYWATER TECH is reshaping the way people experience entertainment. By merging human creativity with the efficiency of artificial intelligence, the Kyiv-based company delivers engaging, mobile-first stories to global audiences. However, bringing complex genres such as fantasy or horror to life traditionally requires high budgets, large locations, and months of production time. For My Muse, this created a clear challenge: mobile-first viewers expect fast-paced, high-quality stories, while traditional live-action production often cannot move quickly enough to meet that demand.

Before adopting an AI-driven approach, HOLYWATER TECH faced the limitations of traditional production pipelines. Rigid schedules and high costs meant that many stories in its vast library of books remained unfilmed. In keeping with its culture of innovation, HOLYWATER TECH turned to AI to develop systems that can evolve as quickly as audience interests. While several early experiments struggled with consistency and audio synchronization, the turning point came with the release of Veo from Google Cloud.

“The release of Veo was a game changer for us,” says Vitalii Reshetnyk, head of My Muse at HOLYWATER TECH. “It was the first model that introduced such high-quality audio, meaning we could generate cinematic visuals while keeping the sound perfectly in sync. The fact it integrates into our existing Google Cloud ecosystem also makes it very easy to use.”

Building an automated production pipeline with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

To overcome the hurdles of traditional filming, HOLYWATER TECH developed a full-cycle production pipeline using Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. This system allows the company to handle every stage of production—from initial script analysis to final video generation—within a single, unified workflow.

The process starts in pre-production, where the company uses Gemini to build specialized agents through Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. These agents analyze books to create production bibles, which serve as the definitive source of truth for the project, identifying characters, outfits, and locations, and even enriching the data by suggesting visual details missing from the text. This ensures that when the team moves to storyboarding and filming, every detail remains consistent across hundreds of scenes, preventing the visual drift often seen in AI-generated content.

In the production phase, the team uses Imagen and Nano Banana to generate high-quality storyboards. Because these models share the same underlying Gemini architecture, they can iterate on specific shots without losing the original style. A creator can modify a character's expression or change a background detail while maintaining visual continuity. These references are then used by Veo to generate the final video. This model is particularly effective because of its ability to adhere to complex prompts and simulate realistic physics, which is essential for the fantasy genres HOLYWATER TECH’s audiences enjoy.

By implementing the full suite of Google Cloud AI models, we can now work at the speed of thought. The technology acts as a workhorse, freeing our creators to experiment with bold ideas and deliver them to our users almost instantly.

By using these integrated tools, the company has simplified the creative process. Each creative unit—an AI creator working with a video editor—can now produce 10 times more minutes of final video content per month than was possible with previous methods. The technology handles the repetitive manual tasks of production, allowing the team to focus on narrative quality and creative direction.

Enhancing audience engagement with Gemini

The transition to an AI-native pipeline has had a clear impact on the growth and reach of HOLYWATER TECH. Since implementing this new workflow within My Muse, the product has achieved 10x ARR growth. The speed of the pipeline allows the company to produce a final series eight times faster than traditional vertical video production. If a book becomes a hit on its publishing platform, the company can often have a high-quality video adaptation ready for its streaming app in less than a month.

This speed hasn’t come at the expense of quality. HOLYWATER TECH uses BigQuery to store and analyze product data, and its audience-engagement metrics show that AI-generated content can be just as compelling as live-action media. For example, the company’s two-hour movie “First Chosen by the Dragon” achieved a 91% completion rate, demonstrating that the emotional depth and acting quality provided by the Gemini models keep viewers invested over long periods.

HOLYWATER TECH is now preparing to introduce even more interactive elements to its platforms. It’s currently developing AI character chatbots based on Gemini, which will allow fans to have real-time conversations with the characters from their favorite shows. This move into interactive storytelling is the next step in the company’s plan to expand its library with even longer series and more immersive worlds.

“Google Cloud allows us to solve complex technical problems within a single, integrated environment, while its AI models allow us to move as fast as the market demands,” says Hanna Pyrig, business development lead at HOLYWATER TECH. “As a result, we can give our audience the stories they want, exactly when they want them.”
