description: TwelveLabs builds video-understanding foundation models (Marengo for
  search and embeddings, Pegasus for analyzing video and generating text). The
  TwelveLabs API lets developers upload and index video, run any-to-video semantic
  search, generate text from video (titles, topics, hashtags, summaries, chapters,
  highlights, and open-ended analysis), and create multimodal embeddings over a
  REST interface authenticated with an x-api-key header.
