Quickstart

From zero to a playable clip in five minutes.

One command bootstraps every primitive into your agent runtime — or use the SDK directly.

pip install videodb
npm install videodb
npx skills add video-db/skills
Live · quickstart · v2.4.0
  • Skills, not SDKs. One command bootstraps every primitive. Claude Code · OpenAI · Cursor · n8n · Zapier — any agent that speaks tools.
  • Python & JavaScript. Same primitives in both. Server- and browser-side covered.
  • Same loop, every scale. From one clip to a corpus. The SDK that handles a 60-second screen capture handles a multi-million-hour archive.

Helloo, I'm Bennie from UK. Have been working with a lot of long form video content, transcription to text, summarisation and splitting into topics, then ingesting, vector embeddings and store in a knn index on an OpenSource cluster allowing semantic search of the text - but only as text. Very cool that you're taking this to another level - I came across your work when trying to work out how to automate video editing to produce short form content without losing accuracy, making a mess of it and not introduce bias. Glad to have found you. Very enthusiastic/obsessive about this AI stuff..., and terrible at proof reading!

Hey everyone, I'm Sulaiman and I work with Yonatan at Zoo. I spent the last few days playing around with VideoDB and I want to give you all props for providing a great product evaluation experience! Usually, I can't just focus on a product's features. Instead I have to worry about the nuts and bolts and intricacies of setting up and using the service. Director provided a much smoother experience; you guys have an AI salesperson at your disposal. It felt like magic being able to use the project in such a significant way with a low amount of effort. I'm looking forward to using it more!

Discovered this today. Really amazing what you've built. I read all the docs. I'm trying to understand on a conceptual level how the backend architecture is designed. Are there any docs that describe at a high level (without giving away any trade secrets) of how you are doing what you're doing. Seems like magic.

I am currently trying to build a market fit for video-based intelligence product for creators. I am trying to partner with some creators in India. I am sure videodb would help me get a lot of things that I anyway wanted - with videodb I won't need to build a lot of this in house and can simply leverage your API.

VideoDB crunched a 10-min clip in 14 s, then zipped tags straight into Postgres. That throughput beats most closed-source stacks I've benchmarked this quarter.

This is a great idea, coming from someone who has been working in video streaming for the past ten years.

For a long time, I have been thinking what you are building needs to exist! glad you are building it!
