The problem

Media at scale breaks three things at once

As your library grows, finding assets gets harder, AI costs grow faster than revenue, and creative decisions get harder to justify.

Search

Duplicate media is invisible at scale

Filenames change. Tags drift. Re-encoded files get a new hash. By the time a library reaches 100K assets, you can’t tell what you already own — and the same asset ships multiple times.

Cost Optimization

AI media costs spiral unpredictably

Sending every image and video frame straight to OpenAI or Anthropic is the expensive default. Resolution, format, and token count compound — nobody catches it until the invoice arrives.

IntelligenceComing soon

Creative decisions lack data

Teams still rely on gut feel to choose creatives, retire fatigued ads, and predict what will perform — because the signals are buried in raw media that nobody has analyzed systematically.

The platform

Built for teams that move fast

One interface to index your media library, run similarity searches, manage API keys, and monitor usage.

At-a-glance overview of indexed assets, search activity, and quota health across all your projects.
