Summary

Generative AI is making it easier to produce more content and harder to keep track of it. As videos, recordings, and documents accumulate, Adobe, Apple, Google, and a growing number of startups are using AI to make those files searchable. It is not yet clear whether that will support a new category of standalone software or become a standard feature of products people already use. Clipto is betting there is room for a separate product.
