What is muse.ai?

muse.ai provides video hosting and streaming for businesses and individuals. Using muse.ai, users can store, share, and embed videos and video collections. It features content based search that lets users find moments of interest.

Includes a lightweight video player that supports adaptive streaming, subtitles, search, chapters, casting to remote devices, and call-to-action. Users can embed interactive video collections and playlists. The embeddings are responsive by default and customizable.

Its keyword-based search lets users find spoken words in a conference recording, text in lecture slides, or people in archival footage. Users can also find objects (e.g. "book"), actions (e.g. "dancing"), and even sounds (e.g. "applause"). Users can also embed the search functionality directly onto their websites.
