ABOUT THE TEAM
This team owns Search at TwelveLabs end-to-end. From the core retrieval platform to the agentic search layer, we build the foundation for how both humans and AI agents discover and explore video.
Full-stack search systems: TwelveLabs is defining the future of video search, powered by the world’s leading video embedding model (Marengo) and video-language model (Pegasus). We build the full search stack—from keyword and semantic retrieval to multimodal and agentic search—enabling fast, accurate, and scalable search experiences.
Search for humans and agents: As AI agents increasingly become the primary consumers of search, we’re building production-grade search infrastructure and agentic search systems that scale to millions of hours of video while delivering reliable, high-quality results for both human users and autonomous agents....
