ParadisePortfolios
ParadisePortfolios was developed as a senior capstone project in partnership with Amanda Roberts' affiliate marketing company. The platform automatically generates compelling short-form video advertisements from vacation rental listings for Sandals and Beaches resorts. Using AI-powered image-to-video generation, AI powered script generation, and a custom voice model to enthusiastically communicate the listing, the system creates personalized short-form video content to be repurposesed on social media (Tiktok/Instagram Reels/Youtube Shorts/etc.). Additionally, we rebuilt their website featuring modern light and dark mode themes and integrated a chatbot to assist with answering questions and booking appointments/listings. Overall, a new website, chatbot, and video generation system, led to an increased volume of leads and lower conversion rates for vacation bookings in June 2025. The project was a success, and the client was able to generate 1000+ (15-45 second) videos in about a 2 day period with the final product being a 100% automated system.
