New SynCat app showcases AI-driven product development strategy; conceived and built in weeks by a team of two using AI and vibe coding

NEW YORK, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025 / (NYSE AMERICAN:ZDGE), $ZDGE, a leader in digital marketplaces and interactive games that provide content, enable creativity, empower self-expression and facilitate community, today announced the next step in its AI evolution with the formation of a dedicated Product Innovation Team charged with leveraging the power of AI to rapidly ideate, validate and deploy new product concepts at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional development.

Jonathan Reich, Zedge's CEO, commented:

"Zedge is embracing a new chapter where AI is the engine behind more and more of what we do. By harnessing the capabilities of AI, vibe coding and automations, we can innovate faster, take more shots on goal and quickly decide which concepts warrant more investment and which get cycled out. SynCat is a perfect example. Conceived and built in just a couple of weeks by a two-person team, it transforms static images into short videos enhanced with fun and entertaining AI filters. The AI expertise we have developed provides us with a sustainable advantage, enabling us to validate our ideas with empirical data before writing a single line of code. Our approach is to fail fast and equally, quickly scale winners."

Future Product Roadmap

Over the next year, Zedge plans to introduce approximately six new product "alphas," each governed by a rigorous, KPI-based framework to scale winners and shelf underperformers. Zedge will also continue advancing its existing product portfolio with feature upgrades and new releases.
