Introducing VIDTREO Intelligence: answers from every recording, with the receipts
Describe what you need to know and VIDTREO Intelligence turns every video and audio into structured data, summaries and scorecards. Every answer links to the moment that proves it, and when the recording doesn't say, it abstains.
TL;DR
- VIDTREO Intelligence is live. Describe what you need to know from your recordings. Intelligence returns structured data, a summary by section and a scorecard for every video and audio.
- Every answer shows its proof. Points, data points and scores cite a moment of the recording, and Intelligence checks each citation against it. When the recording doesn’t support an answer, it abstains instead of guessing.
- It runs on its own. Turn a lens on for an environment and every new recording is analyzed. Results reach your system as JSON through the
intelligence.lens_analysis.completedwebhook. - $0.035/min for video, $0.025/min for audio. Paid from the same prepaid credits as your recordings. Failed analyses are never charged.
A transcript is not an answer
In August, VIDTREO AI started transcribing every recording automatically. Video became text. Text is not a decision.
Someone still has to read the transcript, decide what it means and copy the result into the CRM, the ATS or the QA sheet. A summary shortens the reading. It doesn’t make the call, and it doesn’t tell you where its conclusions came from.
An AI score is worse. A “7/10” with no criteria and no evidence is a number nobody can defend in front of a candidate, a customer or an auditor.
We built Intelligence for decisions people have to defend. A week ago we announced it was in its final testing stages. Today you can use it.
A lens is what you want to know, written once
Intelligence works with lenses. A lens holds the objective, the questions and the rules of an analysis. Run it on one recording or on every new one, and each result comes back in the same shape.
A lens has six parts:
- Objective: what the analysis is for, in one sentence.
- Summary sections: the headings every summary must cover.
- Data points: text, numbers, yes/no, choices and lists your system can read.
- Scorecard: criteria with a maximum score, for rubrics like interviews or QA.
- Trust rules: what the analysis must never assume or invent.
- On-screen checks: yes/no questions about what appears in the video.
Here is a lens for sales discovery calls:
Lens: Sales discovery call
Objective Find out if the prospect is ready to buy and what is blocking them.
Summary sections Pain points · Next steps
Data points Budget confirmed (yes/no) · Decision maker (text) · Objections (list)
Scorecard Discovery questions · /5
Trust rule Never assume a budget that wasn't said out loud.
On-screen check Is a pricing slide on screen?
The same structure works for an interview answer, a support call, a class or a compliance review. Only the content of the lens changes.
You don’t write prompts. The Lens Designer does
Building a lens doesn’t require prompt engineering. Drop in a recording or describe what you’re looking for, and the Lens Designer drafts it with you:
- Start from a recording or a sentence. Upload a video or audio, pick one you already have or describe what to detect.
- It reads before it suggests. The Designer writes down what was said and who said it, then proposes two or three lenses based on what is actually in the recording.
- Answer with a tap. Short rounds of questions, each with a recommended option. Never a blank form.
- Publish and analyze. You see the cost before you run it. Every later change is saved as a new draft with a note.
You can still edit every part of the lens by hand. Try the whole flow on a sample recording:
Once the lens exists, you keep shaping it by talking to the Designer. Accept one of its suggestions or ask for a change, and watch the draft update. Everything the Designer adds is marked, and every change is saved as a new draft:

What comes back
Each analysis returns an Intelligence Package: a headline, a summary by section, chapters, data points, a scorecard and the evidence behind each of them.
Every recording goes through five steps:
- Transcript and speakers: what was said, split by speaker.
- Visual review: frames checked against the lens’s on-screen questions.
- Who is speaking: names matched from introductions and video-call labels.
- Lens analysis: your objective, data points and scorecard, applied.
- Evidence checks: every citation validated against the recording.
This is the result for the discovery call above, as it looks in the VIDTREO Dashboard. Click any timestamp and the recording jumps to the moment that proves it. Open the Evidence tab and press Play as a reel to watch every cited moment back to back.
Thanks for making time, Dana. How does your team review calls today?
6 cited moments
Ready to buy in Q3 if the security review passes.
Dana confirmed the budget and owns the decision. A security review and a two-week onboarding limit are the only blockers.
Pain points1
- Three people review every onboarding call by hand and copy the results into a spreadsheet.
Next steps2
- Security review call with Acme's IT lead next Tuesday.
- Start with one team and measure review time for a month.
Built to be checked, not just believed
Summarizing a video is the easy part. What matters is what happens when the model is wrong or the recording doesn’t have the answer.
- Every claim is cited. Points, data points and scores must cite a moment of the transcript or a frame. Intelligence validates each citation against the recording and discards the ones that don’t match.
- No evidence, no score. A criterion whose evidence doesn’t hold up loses its score and is marked as insufficient evidence.
- It abstains instead of guessing. When the recording doesn’t support an answer, the result says so. Nobody mentioned competitors on the call above, so that data point stays empty.
- Contradictions are flagged. If the recording says two different things, the data point is marked as contradictory.
- The total is the sum of its criteria. If any criterion lacks evidence, the scorecard is marked incomplete and there is no total. You never get a subtotal dressed up as a final score.
- No emotion reading, no face recognition. The visual review never infers emotions or personality and never identifies people by their face.
- Your reviewers make it better. Mark any claim right or wrong. Every review joins the lens’s gold set, and accuracy is tracked for each version.
Ask your recordings anything
Sometimes you don’t need a lens, you need an answer. Ask lets you chat with one recording from its player, or across every video and audio you’ve analyzed.
Try it on the same sample call. Pick a suggestion or type your own question: every citation jumps to its moment in the recording.
Thanks for making time, Dana. How does your team review calls today?
Ask anything about this video
Answers come from what was said and shown, with the exact moments.
Answers come only from what was said and shown, with the exact moments. When the answer isn’t in your recordings, Ask tells you. It replies in the language you ask in.
Runs on every new recording
Publish a lens, turn it on for an environment, and every video or audio that arrives there is analyzed on its own. You choose where each lens runs and whether automatic analysis is on or off.
Lenses are versioned: drafts, published versions, change notes and a comparison between any two versions.
When an analysis finishes, your endpoint receives the full result. Trimmed, it looks like this:
{
"event": "intelligence.lens_analysis.completed",
"data": {
"run": {
"lensName": "Sales discovery call",
"mediaKind": "video",
"headline": "Ready to buy in Q3 if the security review passes.",
"score": "4/5"
},
"result": {
"findings": [
{
"field": "Decision maker",
"value": "Dana, VP of Operations",
"status": "supported",
"evidence": [{ "kind": "segment", "start": 107.2, "end": 112.8 }]
},
{
"field": "Competitors evaluated",
"value": null,
"status": "insufficient_evidence",
"evidence": []
}
]
}
}
}
Every finding carries its status and the exact seconds that support it. score is null when the scorecard is incomplete, so your code never mistakes a subtotal for a final score.
Intelligence works with any video or audio in your VIDTREO library, whether it was recorded with VIDTREO Recorder or uploaded.
Pay per analyzed minute
| Recording | Price per minute, per analysis |
|---|---|
