Coactive AI

Coactive AI is the contextual-intelligence layer for modern media — a multimodal AI platform that indexes unstructured visual content (images and video) once and makes it queryable for search, contextual advertising, content operations, moderation, brand safety, and audience targeting. Data teams ingest assets from cloud storage, encode them with multimodal models, and then run natural-language and SQL queries, build custom visual Concepts and Dynamic Tags, generate video narrative metadata, detect celebrities, and assemble Context Studio ad packages. The REST API (OpenAPI 3.1.0, HTTP Bearer auth via a short-lived /login token, path-based versioning across api/v0, api/v1 and api/v3) exposes ingestion, datasets, search, concepts, queries, connections, user management, and system credentials on api.coactive.ai. Backed by a16z and Bessemer Venture Partners.

Coactive AI publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Multimodal AI, Computer Vision, and Video Understanding.

Coactive AI’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, changelog, engineering blog, support, and 26 more developer resources.
