Twelve Labs
Video intelligence API for search, analysis and embeddings
Overview
Twelve Labs, founded by a Korean-origin team, builds video-understanding foundation models that let developers search, analyse and embed video by its actual content. Its Marengo and Pegasus models extract actions, objects, on-screen text, speech and people to power semantic video search and summarisation. The platform is API-first with a free tier of 600 indexing minutes and usage-based paid plans.

ASEAN Perspective
Twelve Labs in Southeast Asia
ASEAN-region availability and pricing notes coming soon. Drop the editorial team a note via /contact/ if you can supply local context (Singapore/Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam).
Twelve Labs is one of the strongest dedicated video-understanding APIs available, with multimodal models that genuinely index video by content rather than metadata. The free 600-minute tier and clear usage-based pricing make it easy to evaluate.
Though the company has shifted its centre of gravity to the US, its Korean roots and developer-first design keep it relevant here. ASEAN readiness is average — English-only docs and global USD pricing — but the API quality is a clear standout.
