MomentClip

Hey HN, I wanted a way to search across multiple YouTube videos at once, find every time someone discusses a topic, compare how different creators explain the same concept, or pull all mentions of a keyword across a channel's archive. The interesting part: it uses Gemini's multimodal capabilities to search visually, not just transcripts. So you can find "the whiteboard diagram" or "when he shows the demo", things transcript-based tools completely miss. Stack: Next.js, Convex, Clerk, Gemini 3 Flash Would love feedback from anyone who works with video content. https://momentclip.com

MomentClip launched on January 6, 2026 with 7 votes, #1,609 of 14,584 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

  • Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video searchMar 2026 · github.com · ▲438

    Gemini Embedding 2 can project raw video directly into a 768-dimensional vector space alongside text. No transcription, no frame captioning, no intermediate text. A query like "green car cutting me off" is directly comparable to a 30-second video clip at the vector level. I used this to build a CLI that indexes hours of footage into ChromaDB, then searches it with natural language and auto-trims the matching clip. Demo video on the GitHub README. Indexing costs ~$2.50/hr of footage. Still-frame detection skips idle chunks, so security camera / sentry mode footage is much cheaper.

    I built an open source AI video search engine to learn more about AI2023 · avse.vercel.app · ▲145

    Hi there! When Supabase announced their recent hackathon, I thought it was a good time to build something to learn more about so many of the new AI models and tech out there. From the different techniques of embedding documents to the future RAG. With the rise of short form content with TikTok and Youtube. A lot more knowledge is in videos than ever before. Finding specific answers within millions of videos can be difficult for any one person to go through. So the question is if there is Google that indexes text on website making it easier to find based on the context of on your question,…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
