VideoDB: Give AI Agents Eyes and Ears
VideoDB is a modern backend for AI agents, giving them the ability to see, understand, and act on video and audio in real time. It unifies storage, indexing, streaming, editing, memory, retrieval, and delivery into a single programmable system. Instead of treating video as files, VideoDB treats it as live context.
What VideoDB Does
VideoDB sits between raw media streams and agent reasoning systems. It converts video into:
Structured context — scenes, transcripts, events
Searchable memory — semantic + multimodal retrieval
Action triggers — real-time alerts, workflows, editing
So your agents don't just read the world — they observe it continuously.
Core Workflow: See → Understand → Act
See
Ingest video and audio from anywhere: files, cloud storage, YouTube, live streams (RTSP, cameras, drones), and desktop capture (screen, mic, system audio). All streams become agent-readable in ~real time.
Understand
Define Indexes-as-code to extract meaning: scene detection, transcripts, visual signals, custom prompts to define what "matters", and multiple indexes per stream for evolving understanding. Search returns playable moments, not timestamps.
Act
Trigger actions directly from video: real-time alerts via webhooks or WebSockets, agent-driven workflows and automations, and programmable editing — clips, summaries, overlays, dubbing.
Integration & Ecosystem
VideoDB is built for agent-native development:
- Skill-first: Install VideoDB skills on any agent using npx
- SDK-first: Python and Node.js
- Agnostic: Works with any LLM, VLM, or agent framework
- Native integrations: Claude, Cursor, and Codex
- Extensible: Supports MCP and agent workflows (Zapier, n8n, custom runtimes)
