Shade is developing a cloud-based media storage platform designed for agencies, sports media teams, and podcasters to easily store and search their media using natural language queries. The startup claims that their search doesn't just display a specific video but pinpoints the exact moment in the video where the scene corresponding to the search query occurs. The tool also automatically transcribes the audio for easier searching. Users can search by meaning, transcript, and facial recognition for tagged individuals. For example, users can search for "person with laptop in snow," and the system will return all relevant clips with timestamps.
