What is Cloudglue?

Cloudglue is an API service that transforms videos into structured, LLM-ready data. Using advanced multimodal AI, we extract meaningful information from video content including speech, visual scenes, and on-screen text - making video content programmable and searchable for your applications. Whether you’re building video knowledge bases, creating AI chatbots that understand video content, or extracting structured data at scale, Cloudglue provides the tools to turn any video into actionable data.

Quick Example

Here’s how easy it is to extract structured data from any video: 
from cloudglue import CloudGlue

client = CloudGlue()

# Upload and extract

uploaded = client.files.upload(
'path/to/local/video.mp4',
wait_until_finish=True
)

extraction = client.extract.run(
url=uploaded.uri,
prompt="Extract all speakers and main topics discussed",
schema={"speakers": ["string"], "topics": ["string"]}
)

print(extraction.data)

# {"speakers": ["John Smith", "Sarah Johnson"], "topics": ["AI", "Marketing"]}
