Multimodal RAG (text + image + video)

A multimodal RAG system that retrieves answers from text, images, and video together.

Overview

What we deliver

We build multimodal RAG systems that index text, diagrams, screenshots, and video so users get richer, source-linked answers in one query.

We build multimodal retrieval-augmented generation systems that go beyond text and pull from images, diagrams, screenshots, and video alongside written content. Our team handles vision model selection, frame extraction, caption generation, and unified embedding so a single question can return a written explanation, a relevant diagram, and a video segment from a training library. We design retrieval logic that ranks across modalities and presents results in a clear, citation-backed interface. We also tune the system for your domain, whether that means product photos, engineering schematics, medical imaging, or recorded webinars. The outcome is a knowledge layer that reflects how people actually communicate inside your company, with answers that show the right picture or clip instead of only describing it in text.

Client stories

What clients say

"

Two weeks before our seed round we still did not have a defensible model. Their fractional CFO rebuilt our three-statement forecast, pressure-tested the assumptions, and walked me through every line before the partner meeting. We closed 1.4M on the terms we wanted. The investor specifically called out how clean the financials looked compared to the last five decks she had seen.

We had been prototyping an AI quoting agent for nine months and could not get it past demo quality. They came in, scoped a real eval set, swapped our retrieval layer, and added guardrails for the edge cases that kept burning us. Went live in seven weeks. It now handles 41 percent of inbound quote requests without a human touching them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

What kinds of media can it handle?
PDFs, images, diagrams, screenshots, slide decks, and video files with audio tracks.
Can it jump to a specific moment in a video?
Yes, retrieval returns the timestamped segment relevant to the query along with a transcript snippet.
How does it search inside images?
We use vision models that generate embeddings and captions so visual content is queryable alongside text.
Is this overkill if we only have a few images?
For small visual libraries a simpler setup may be enough. We will tell you honestly during scoping.
How do you handle large video archives?
We process in batches, store embeddings in a vector database, and index frames at a frequency that fits your content.

Want a knowledge system that sees, reads, and watches?

We will build a multimodal RAG stack that retrieves across text, images, and video.
