Overview

Twelve Labs provides tools for searching and analyzing video, along with embedding generation for machine-learning pipelines. Its search uses natural-language queries to locate moments across speech, text, audio and visuals. The platform can summarize videos or answer prompts about their content. Jockey, a research-preview agent, can reason across videos and images and return answers with cited moments. Access is available through REST APIs and Python and Node.js SDKs; models are also available through Amazon Bedrock and AWS Marketplace. The Free plan is free and includes 600 minutes of video usage, index access for 90 days, up to 10 hours and 100 videos per index, and five concurrent indexing tasks. The Developer plan is pay as you go, with indexing at $2.50/hour, infrastructure at $0.09/hour/month and search at $4/1,000 queries. Enterprise contracts use committed-use pricing, with custom pricing and limits. Enterprise deployment options include cloud, private cloud or on-premises environments. Twelve Labs states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
