About Twelve Labs Inc.

Twelve Labs builds multimodal video understanding AI. Its cloud platform transforms long-form video into vector embeddings that capture visual, audio, speech and contextual information, enabling semantic search, summarization, chaptering, moderation and analytics through a single API. Developers upload video, index it, then query in natural language or image to retrieve exact moments, generate highlights or detect unwanted content. Models are pretrained on large-scale web video, continually fine-tuned for accuracy and latency, and deployable on dedicated GPU clusters for enterprise security. Founded in 2021, the San Francisco company serves media, ed-tech, safety and e-commerce customers worldwide.
