Twelve Labs represents a cutting-edge AI-powered video search platform, designed to empower developers in the creation of applications with human-like vision, listening, and comprehension capabilities.

At its core, Twelve Labs offers the industry’s most potent video search API, equipping developers with the tools to impart their applications with a deep understanding of the visual and auditory world. Notably, Twelve Labs recently secured an additional $12 million in seed funding, and it joined forces with Oracle to revolutionize video comprehension.

How does it work? Twelve Labs delves into video content, dissecting essential elements such as actions, objects, on-screen text, spoken language, and individuals. It then translates this data into vector representations, facilitating swift and scalable semantic search. Crucially, Twelve Labs’ AI models consistently outshine open-source and commercial counterparts, even clinching the top spot in the video retrieval track of the 2021 ICCV VALUE Challenge hosted by Microsoft.

One of Twelve Labs’ standout features is its adaptability – it can be fine-tuned to meet specific requirements. It offers a multifaceted contextual understanding, seamlessly integrated through a few API calls. This functionality is embraced by developers and product managers alike, enabling them to build applications with a profound grasp of video content.

Furthermore, Twelve Labs generously offers a suite of APIs and an interactive playground. This dual-resource ensures developers can efficiently imbue their video libraries with searchability. The applications for Twelve Labs are as diverse as they are impressive, ranging from contextual advertising and content moderation to evidence retrieval, media analytics, digital asset management, brand security, lecture indexing, video recommendations, and video editing.
