Search

The Playground allows you to search using natural language queries. A natural language query refers to the ability to enter search requests using everyday language, instead of using specific keywords. For example, you can enter a query like “Interviews with scientists discussing climate change.” The platform analyzes the query, identifies the key elements, and searches for video clips that match it. Then, the Playground shows the relevant moments from your videos that match the query you entered, making the search process intuitive and user-friendly.
