Overshoot

Overshoot is a real-time video understanding API. Developers create a live video stream, publish frames over WebRTC (LiveKit), then query what the camera sees with vision-language models through an OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint — sub-200ms inference against a large catalog of VLMs. Overshoot (YC W2026) targets physical security, safety, gaming, robotics, and consumer products, exposing stream lifecycle management, model listing, prepaid-credit billing, and per-model pricing over a single REST host at api.overshoot.ai.

Overshoot publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Billing API, Chat API, Healthz API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, Computer-Vision, Video, and Video Understanding.

Overshoot’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 16 more developer resources.
