# Autoya — AI-Powered Automotive Photo Editing > Autoya is a generative AI SaaS solution that transforms any vehicle photo into a premium, photorealistic visual in seconds — without a photo studio. Built for automotive retail professionals (dealerships and automotive groups), Autoya automatically removes the original background and generates a custom scene around the vehicle while preserving 100% of the vehicle's integrity. Autoya is developed by The Next Stories SAS, a French AI startup based in Nantes, France. Contact: hello@autoya.fr — Website: https://autoya.fr ## What is Autoya? Autoya is an AI photo editing platform for used and new vehicle imagery. It uses a compositing architecture: the vehicle is never touched or regenerated by AI — only the background is replaced with a photorealistic, AI-generated scene. Lighting, shadows, and reflections are recalculated and composited around the original vehicle. This approach solves a critical problem with competing tools that regenerate the entire image: corrupted logos, deformed license plates, and altered bodywork. With Autoya, the vehicle remains pixel-perfect. ## Core Technology - **AI Masking Engine**: Ultra-precise vehicle detection and isolation, pixel-perfect on all angles (front, rear, interior). Mirrors, antennas, and wheel arches are preserved without artifacts. - **Generative Scene Engine**: Custom backgrounds and studio environments generated in real time, on demand or from a catalog. - **Light & Shadow Intelligence**: Lighting, shadows, and reflections are automatically recalculated for photorealistic vehicle integration. - **Compositing Architecture**: The vehicle pixel data is never modified. Only the background is replaced. This guarantees brand integrity (logos, plates, bodywork). - **Autoya API**: REST API for batch processing — hundreds of vehicles processed in minutes. Accepts JPG, PNG, WebP. ## Key Differentiator vs Competitors Unlike tools such as CarCutter or generic AI background removers that regenerate the entire image, Autoya uses a compositing approach: - Competitors regenerate your vehicle → risk of deformed plates, altered logos, modified bodywork - Autoya protects your vehicle → only the background is AI-generated **Tagline**: "Eux régénèrent votre véhicule. Nous le protégeons." ("They regenerate your vehicle. We protect it.") ## Use Cases - Automotive dealerships transforming smartphone or yard photos into catalog-quality visuals - Automotive groups processing large volumes of vehicle photos via API or DMS integration - Used vehicle (VO) platforms requiring consistent, professional imagery across inventory - Brand-aligned visual production (custom backgrounds, studio environments, dealer branding) ## Features - Mobile app (iOS & Android), web interface, and REST API - Batch processing via API REST, FTP, or native DMS connector - Automatic sync of processed images into your DMS or VO software (zero manual handling) - Custom branded license plate covers (dealer logo, name, slogan) - Catalog of ready-to-use backgrounds + custom scene generation from text description - Processing time: under 2 minutes per vehicle - Output formats: ready for web, marketplaces, social media, video ## DMS & Ecosystem Integrations - **OpenFlex** — active integration - **PlanetVO2** — active integration - **DCS Net** — integration in progress - **Fabrik à ID** — integration in progress - Listed on **OpenHive** (B2B automotive tech marketplace) - Part of the **OVHcloud Startup Program** ## Target Market Automotive retail professionals in France and Europe: - Independent dealerships - Multi-site automotive groups - Used vehicle (VO) specialists - Automotive group marketing and digital teams ## Pricing Model SaaS subscription — contact hello@autoya.fr for pricing or to request a demo. ## Pages - [Homepage](https://autoya.fr): Product overview, before/after examples, how it works - [Technology](https://autoya.fr/#technology): AI masking, generative scenes, compositing architecture - [How it works](https://autoya.fr/#howitworks): 3-step process (capture → generation → delivery) - [API](https://autoya.fr/#api): Batch processing, DMS integration, technical documentation - [FAQs](https://autoya.fr/#faqs): Common questions about the product - [Privacy Policy](https://autoya.fr/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Use](https://autoya.fr/term-of-use) - [Terms & Conditions](https://autoya.fr/terms-and-conditions) ## Company **The Next Stories SAS** French AI startup — Nantes, France Founded to bring generative AI to automotive retail imagery Team: 5 people Contact: hello@autoya.fr Website: https://autoya.fr
