Vision AI is a tool that enables the creation, deployment, and management of computer vision applications, allowing you to train models for tasks like image classification, object detection, and handwriting recognition. By leveraging pre-trained models and an API, it simplifies the process of building intelligent image metadata systems. Newsrooms rely on Vision AI to organize large image archives and quickly search for specific content, while journalists use it to scan hours of footage, identifying key objects for investigative or nature reporting.

#analyze Automatically analyze large volumes of visual content such as images or videos to extract meaningful insights. This can help newsrooms quickly identify key elements or trends in footage, speeding up the process of content discovery for investigative reports or breaking news.
#automate Automate the organization and tagging of media assets within the newsroom, speeding up the editing process. AI can also assist in summarizing footage, reducing the manual work required to sift through hours of content for relevant clips or data.
#build Create custom AI models tailored for newsroom tasks like object detection or facial recognition in footage. This helps newsrooms build tools that meet their specific needs, improving the accuracy and efficiency of media analysis.
#deploy Deploy AI models across newsroom operations to automatically tag, categorize, and analyze visual content. Once trained, these models can be put into production, enabling newsrooms to automate repetitive tasks and quickly access the information they need.
#train Train AI models using specific datasets, such as past reports or archived content, to improve their performance for future tasks. Newsrooms can use this functionality to refine models and ensure they work effectively on their unique datasets, such as images, videos, and transcripts.
