You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

We've got a Chrome extension, android app and the iOS app is coming out soon. For anyone using Icebergs (which just got acquired by Pinterest) we…
