Coactive AI

The world we live in is visual—it’s in every aspect of our lives, from the way we work and communicate to how we shop and enjoy entertainment. Yet, understanding visual data has been elusive, expensive, and tedious for many businesses for far too long. It’s been previously unachievable to intelligently search and analyze large volumes of unstructured visual content without spending countless hours labeling, tagging, or adding metadata to images and video, resulting in lost time and productivity. We are solving this problem at scale. Our mission is to transform how companies understand and analyze their visual content, turning data from a tax to an asset. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re accelerating our progress toward this vision with $30 million in Series B funding! 🎉 We’re excited to continue helping teams navigate their unstructured content and bring the power of analytics to images and video.

I had so much fun today catching up with Ketaki S., Chazz Sims, and Brenna (Jensen) Shubin for the Generative AI Panel at the AWS New York Summit! It was such a great conversation about how businesses are incorporating generative AI and how to implement AI in production without causing headaches or late nights. Thanks, AWS Startups, for organizing! Hopefully, the crowd wasn't too much 😅

I've been working with media and entertainment companies for over twenty years. Recently, one of the most exciting trends in this space has been how effectively they're using data science and machine learning to create better content and extract more value from existing video footage. Today, I'm thrilled to announce that Coactive AI has launched the beta version of Dynamic Tags, a game-changing feature for content optimization teams in the media and entertainment industry. With this release, we’ve eliminated the need for manual metadata creation. Now, users can generate metadata as quickly as they can search. It’s truly that simple! Dynamic Tags leverages multimodal AI to search the actual content of videos. Whether it's Simone Biles at the Olympics, a funny scene in the Trolls movie, or Kevin Durant high-fiving, Coactive can find it. And with user feedback, our system only gets smarter over time. Thanks to our incredible product and engineering teams, including Sergey Astretsov, Seby Jacob, Candace Okumko, Mehul Smriti Raje, Briana Das, and others, for their hard work and dedication. This feature is already in our customers' hands, and the feedback has been fantastic. Want to learn more?

Today Coactive AI released a powerful new feature, Dynamic Tags, and I am excited to get this into customers' hands. Dynamic Tags use multimodal AI for advanced analytics of the videos. No need to wait for humans to add metadata manually. 🚀 Read more about this in Ikenna N.'s blog: https://lnkd.in/g5P3zzFG

Before today, if you wanted to understand the content of a video, you likely relied on humans to watch the content and manually add metadata to highlight different attributes within the video. This is a slow, expensive process and metadata will be out-of-date as soon as the next episode or season is released. Today, we're excited to announce the beta release of Coactive Dynamic Tags. With this release, you can create metadata and categorize video at the speed of search. Dynamic Tags are customizable labels that use Coactive’s multimodal AI to automatically categorize and classify video content based on attributes you choose. These tags can represent moods, activities, locations, or personalities, making it easy to organize and search through large video libraries efficiently. ✂️ Create minute-by-minute cut sheets 💰 Assign advertisement tags ✅ Add context-specific metadata to improve asset management This is a super powerful feature for anyone sitting on large video archives.

How do you scale something that, on its surface, sounds too good to be true? And how do you increase access to one of the most valuable commodities in the country? 🎓 On a recent episode of Masters of Scale, founder and CEO Ana Rowena Mallari joins Reid Hoffman to tell the story of QuestBridge, the company that grew out of a summer program and has now matched nearly 100,000 highly motivated students like Cody Coleman (now the CEO & Co-Founder at Coactive AI) with scholarships to elite universities. In the last three decades, Questbridge has transformed the way universities evaluate talent and scaled college access like never before.
