overshoot.ai

Overshoot is real-time AI vision infrastructure. It ingests live video streams over WebRTC (LiveKit) and lets developers query those frames with vision-language models through an OpenAI-compatible chat completions API, returning structured results such as bounding boxes, pixel coordinates, OCR text, and JSON in as little as 200ms. The REST API manages the full stream lifecycle (create, keepalive, inspect, delete), lists available VLMs from Overshoot, Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, and handles prepaid credit billing. Overshoot is a Y Combinator and a16z portfolio company building the vision layer for accessibility, security monitoring, sports analysis, robotics, retail analytics, and structured data extraction from live video.

overshoot.ai 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 Real-Time.

overshoot.ai’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, signup flow, support, and 9 more developer resources.
