Answers

Everything about searching your video library

The product

What is GoCognia?

GoCognia is AI video search for media and brand libraries. It indexes the people, products, objects and scenes in your videos, so your team can search in plain language and jump straight to the exact moment.

How does GoCognia work?

In four steps. You connect your existing video library. GoCognia analyzes the footage using multimodal AI. People, products, objects, scenes and visual concepts are indexed down to the timestamp. Then your team asks questions in natural language and goes directly to the relevant moments.

What can GoCognia find in my videos?

People (including identifying a specific person), products, objects and scenes. Results point to the timestamp where the match appears, not just to the video file.

Do we need to search with keywords or tags?

No. You search in plain language, such as the person, product or kind of shot you are looking for, and GoCognia matches on what is actually in the footage. Nobody has to tag videos by hand first.

Speech, text and export

Can GoCognia search speech or text that appears in a video?

Yes. GoCognia transcribes speech and reads text shown on screen (OCR), so you can search both. Transcription is Hinglish to English today, and other languages can be added on request.

Can I export clips or create new videos from search results?

You can export selected clips. Creating new videos from selections is coming soon.

Teams and libraries

Who is GoCognia for?

Teams that work with large video libraries: media companies, agencies, production houses, brands, marketing teams and enterprises. See the use cases page for how each team puts it to work.

Is GoCognia only useful for very large libraries?

It is built for libraries that keep growing. In a hundred videos you can spot the moments yourself; in thousands they disappear into the footage. The bigger the library, the more a searchable index is worth.

How do I connect my library, and how long does indexing take?

It depends on where your footage lives and how much of it there is. We cover connecting your library and what indexing involves in the demo, so the answer is specific to your setup.
