Cloudglue

Cloudglue is a developer-first API platform for teams building AI applications that need to turn video and audio into structured, LLM-ready data.

Key capabilities include:

• Multimodal extraction from video, including speech transcription, speaker diarization, visual descriptions, and sound analysis, designed for RAG, analytics, and conversational interfaces.
• Fast indexing and segmentation, using automatic shot detection and narrative-based segmentation, with reported performance of converting ~50 minutes of video into LLM-ready data in ~3 minutes.
• Flexible integration options, from a managed video Q&A workflow (single API call) to granular segment-by-segment control for teams that manage embeddings and retrieval independently.
• Ecosystem support, including an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Claude and other AI assistants, plus entity extraction and batch retrieval.

Pricing: Freemium, offering a Free tier ($0) and several one-time Credit Packs ranging from $15 to $600. Standard monthly subscriptions are only available by contacting the team.

Notable for providing video understanding infrastructure that ingests common sources (HTTP URLs, Dropbox, Google Drive, Zoom, YouTube for narrative segmentation) and is Y Combinator-backed (founded by Amy Xiao), with a focus on production-ready performance for enterprise use cases.
