About us

We believe that to understand video is to understand the world. Video is the most accurate way to capture the world’s stories as they are. By vastly enhancing the machine’s ability to understand videos, we will be one step closer to singularity and true human-AI symbiosis.

Twelve Labs was founded with the shared sense of purpose of contributing to the achievement of singularity that will benefit humanity. By helping our customers build intelligent video applications of today and tomorrow, we are changing the paradigm of how video is accessed and consumed.
