Launch HN: Sieve (YC W22) – Pluggable APIs for Video Search

Hi HN, we’re Mokshith and Abhi from Sieve ( https://sievedata.com ). We’re building an API that lets you add video search to internal tools or customer applications, instantly. Sieve can process 24 hours of video in less than 10 minutes, and makes it easy to search video by detected objects / characteristics, motion data, and visual similarity. You can use our models out of the box, or plug-in your own model endpoints into our infrastructure. ('Model' here means any software that produces output given an image.) Every industry from security, to media, supply chain, construction, retail, sports, and agriculture is being transformed by video analytics—but setting up the infrastructure to process video data quickly is difficult.

We’re building a platform that takes care of all of this so teams can focus on their domain-expertise, building industry
