The Playground is a sandbox environment specifically designed to provide you with a hands-on experience in exploring and testing the various features of the Twelve Labs Video Understanding Platform. This intuitive web application is a powerful tool for product managers, developers, and AI enthusiasts to familiarize themselves with the platform's capabilities and experiment with its functionalities.

The Overview page

When you open the Playground, by default, you see the Overview page. From here, you can follow the basic steps for using the Playground that are described in the Get started with the Playground section below or try out the predefined set of examples to make a search or classification request.

1. Endpoints pane: Provides quick access to the Search and Classify endpoints.
2. Examples pane: Provides access to the Examples page where you can experiment with a set of examples included in the Playground, eliminating the need to upload and index your own videos. Note that all the examples are zero-shot results.
