VideoDB is the modern agentic backend for video and audio.
It unifies storage, indexing, streaming, and editing into a single system built for continuous media.
With universal ingestion, it accepts files, live streams, and real-time capture from any source, and converts them into structured, searchable context.
It provides memory and recall at the scene level, allowing agents to retrieve precise moments instead of entire files.
VideoDB also enables real-time stream processing, where video can be modified, enriched, and delivered dynamically over video streams.
Your agents can read text and static images. But the real world is live, continuous, and always changing. To operate with real context, your agent needs real-time access to video calls, camera feeds, screen recordings, and live internet streams.
