SUMMARY
Why multimodal is a shift: video, images, and audio are becoming first-class AI data, but most stacks still treat them as opaque files, leading to brittle pipelines and high maintenance overhead
Pixeltable’s core idea: a more “database-like,” declarative table/view model with native media types, built-in transforms + model inference, and strong lineage/observability
What we demoed + discussed: ingesting video by URL, extracting/transcribing/chunking, building embeddings for semantic search, and an auto-crop example, plus Q&A on flexibility (UDFs/models), private deployment, and scaling direction
