What Jeynix does

Jeynix was a Lisbon-based, AI-assisted visual effects studio that delivered four specialized capabilities to the film and television industry: face replacement, head replacement, face rejuvenation (de-aging), and performance-preserving lip synchronization. The studio's technology stack leveraged deep learning, computer vision, and generative AI to produce hyper-realistic VFX-grade output—matching lighting, texture, and micro-expressions to preserve original performance integrity across close-ups and continuity-sensitive shots. Multimodal processing (video, image, and audio) underpinned workflows that addressed complex post-production challenges including stunt pickups, reshoots, character transformations, and multi-language localization dubbing.

The company operated as a B2B professional services provider, delivering project-based VFX work to film studios, production companies, and entertainment platforms. Pricing was quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with bespoke post-production services. The go-to-market was enterprise field sales targeting primary customers in the Film & TV Production Studios segment, with a secondary segment in Microdrama Platforms. Jeynix was privately held, had 1–10 employees, and was founded in 2025. The company was acquired by Holywater Tech (formerly Holywater) on February 9, 2026, with financial terms undisclosed; the acquisition brought Jeynix's core technical team in-house to power Holywater's microdrama platforms (My Drama, My Passion, My Muse). As a result, Jeynix no longer operates as an independent entity.
