Cloudglue

What is Cloudglue?

Cloudglue is a video context engine API designed to turn videos into structured, searchable data for AI applications. It is purpose-built for AI agents, allowing developers to extract insights, search across video content, and enable chatbots to answer questions with playable citations. The platform handles the heavy lifting of video understanding, making it easy to build applications that reason over video at scale.

How Cloudglue works

Cloudglue provides a simple API that processes video and audio files, extracting structured data and enabling search and chat capabilities. It uses state-of-the-art multimodal models to understand video content, and it manages model upgrades and scaling under the hood. Developers can upload videos, define schemas for entity extraction, and use endpoints for transcription, description, scene segmentation, collection indexing, chat completion, and search. The platform is designed to be fast, processing 2 hours of video in about 3 minutes.

Main features

• Video context engine: Turn videos into queryable context for AI.
• Chatbot and RAG across videos: Enable chatbots to answer questions across video content with playable citations.
• Aggregate analysis: Run analysis across thousands of hours of video and generate reports.
• Structured data extraction: Define schemas and extract entities consistently across videos.
• Search: Find and retrieve relevant videos and segments at scale.
• Speed: Process 2 hours of video in just 3 minutes.
• State-of-the-art video understanding: Uses the latest multimodal models.
• Effortless setup: Get up and running with a few lines of code.
• Production-ready: Built for enterprise scale.

Pricing

Cloudglue offers a tiered pricing model based on credits. Credits are consumed for each successful API request, varying by endpoint and feature. The plans are:

• Free: $0, includes 200 credits (200 chat completion requests) and 25 minutes indexed.
• Mini: $15, includes 1,000 credits (1,000 chat completion requests) and 2 hours indexed.
• Starter: $45, includes 3,000 credits (3,000 chat completion requests) and 6 hours indexed.
• Builder: $350 (22% off), includes 30,000 credits (30,000 chat completion requests) and 63 hours indexed.
• Scale: $600 (33% off), includes 60,000 credits (60,000 chat completion requests) and 125 hours indexed.

For larger teams, custom plans and discounts are available via contacting sales. Enterprise plans are also available.

Common use cases

• Building chatbots that can answer questions about video content.
• Implementing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) over video libraries.
• Running aggregate analysis across large collections of videos for reports.
• Extracting structured data (e.g., entities, metadata) from videos.
• Searching for specific segments or content within videos.

Limitations

• The platform is API-only; there is no no-code interface for non-developers.
• Pricing is credit-based, which may be complex to estimate for large-scale usage.
• The free tier is limited to 200 credits and 25 minutes of indexed video.
• Video processing speed may vary depending on the length and complexity of the video.
• The platform relies on third-party models, which may have inherent biases or errors.

Summary

Cloudglue is a developer-focused API that simplifies turning video content into structured, searchable data for AI applications. It offers fast processing, state-of-the-art video understanding, and flexible pricing plans. While it is powerful for building AI agents that reason over video, it requires technical expertise to integrate and may incur costs that scale with usage.
