Using natural language prompts, new discovery agents allow video teams to search their media libraries more deeply and reveal hidden stories
Moments Lab, a leading AI-driven video discovery company, has announced the launch of Discovery Agent, an AI-powered tool designed to help producers, creatives and video teams quickly identify important scenes and moments from within their media libraries.
Discovery agents address two common issues in generating video content: First, the time and effort required to find relevant footage from a large media library. Second, there is a need to reuse existing footage and content across multiple platforms and use cases.
Discovery agents are designed for creative entertainment, digital content and media teams and need to move quickly to meet audience demand for engaging video content. Powered by Moments Lab's patented multimodal AI index engine, MXT, agents function more like personal research assistants than search tools. Freeing users to focus more on editing and story decisions while providing content options, teams may not realize they are available.
“Most video teams sit on thousands of hours of content that's not easily accessible or even know they have,” says Philippe Petitpont, CEO and co-founder of Moments Lab. “We wanted to demolish these barriers. Discovery agents give users a fast, intuitive way to find what they need.
