Through this collaboration, Amaze is leveraging Tencent Cloud's one-stop E-commerce Live Streaming Solution, which offers seamless, end-to-end management of the entire livestreaming process—from viewing and real-time interaction to content reuse and operational analytics. The partnership enables Amaze to unlock new growth opportunities on Shoppertainment and deliver Thai consumers a smoother, richer, and more immersive online shopping experience. Tencent Cloud and Amaze Join Forces to Accelerate the Future of Live E-commerce in Thailand Drives Live E-commerce Innovation in Thailand with a Proven Track Record As live e-commerce and shoppertainment continue to gain momentum across Southeast Asia, Amaze is integrating its strong foundation in traditional e-commerce with innovative content ecosystems to create a more engaging super app experience. To support this vision, Amaze has chosen Tencent Cloud as its strategic partner. With a proven track record serving over 90% of China's live e-commerce platforms across domestic and overseas markets, and more than 70% of leading OTT enterprises in Asia, Tencent Cloud provides the robust technological foundation to drive Amaze's live commerce growth. Building on this foundation, Tencent Cloud brings its mature livestreaming innovations to Thailand, introducing interactive features such as real-time voting, on-screen gifting, and live shopping lucky draws. To further fuel user engagement, it also supports viral social tools such as sharing incentives, group-buy promotions, and streamer battles. With comprehensive localization and dedicated support, Tencent Cloud strives to be a cloud services partner that truly understands the needs of local users and businesses. Amaze, meanwhile, plans to onboard a diverse community of local influencers and content creators across retail, lifestyle, and food sectors, continuously enriching its livestreaming ecosystem. These features will seamlessly integrate with Amaze's rewards system, allowing users to earn and redeem points while enjoying more interactive, entertaining live shopping experiences. Unlocks New Growth for Amaze via One-Stop Audio and Video Solution Livestream e-commerce is rapidly evolving from standalone functions into comprehensive, system-level solutions. Tencent Cloud's one-stop E-commerce Live Streaming Solution empowers clients like Amaze to quickly build scalable, low-latency, and sustainable livestreaming capabilities to support long-term growth. Supported by its global Cloud Streaming Services (CSS) network — spanning more than 70 countries and regions with over 3,200 acceleration nodes and 400 Tbps of bandwidth capacity — Tencent Cloud ensures seamless, reliable, and high-quality content delivery even during large-scale, cross-regional events. Its industry-leading ultra-low-latency technology enhances viewer engagement and boosts conversion rates, while DRM encryption and watermark tracing further strengthen content security and prevent piracy. In addition, Tencent Cloud's proprietary Top Speed Codec technology optimizes video transmission efficiency by reducing bitrate by more than 30% without compromising image quality or playback smoothness, significantly lowering bandwidth costs. Its Instant Messaging (IM)/ Chat capability further enriches the interactive experience, supporting unlimited user participation and enabling real-time engagement features such as live comments, likes, gifting, product tagging, and coupon distribution. Even under challenging network conditions, the IM service maintains a message delivery success rate of over 99.99%, ensuring uninterrupted audience interaction. Complementing these capabilities, Tencent Cloud's Video on Demand (VOD) service transforms livestreams into enduring digital assets through real-time recording, flexible clipping, and cloud storage. This enables seamless repurposing of livestream content into product showcases, marketing materials, and promotional videos for replay, distribution, and ongoing operational use, thereby maximizing the value and lifecycle of each broadcast. Shapes the Next Chapter of Live E-commerce with AI As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to shape the next chapter of live e-commerce, Tencent Cloud's one-stop solution integrates a suite of advanced AI-powered capabilities built on its proprietary AI visual foundation model. These include intelligent audio and video enhancement to improve quality of experience (QoE) and service (QoS), real-time multilingual subtitles and translations covering more than 100 languages, and customizable AIGC visual effects generated from text prompts to drive greater viewer engagement. The solution also supports fully digital, 24/7 virtual hosts, reducing operational costs while enabling continuous, always-on livestreaming experiences.
