What is Twelve Labs?

TwelveLabs is a video intelligence platform that extracts structured information from raw video content through multimodal AI. Its core models, Marengo (encoder) and Pegasus (video‑language), enable time‑ and space‑aware analysis for text, speech, audio, and visual elements.

The Search API locates precise moments across large libraries using natural‑language queries. The Analyze API generates descriptive text, summaries, or captions on demand. The Embed API produces multimodal vector embeddings for semantic search, recommendation, and hybrid retrieval systems.
