Another word from Mika: Regarding the motivation to build Valossa Assistant service

I am Mika, Founder and CEO of Valossa.

I am proud to introduce a new kind video analysis and productivity service, which enables completely new conversational video experience over video data. Over ten years we have been building and training an AI that understands video like human. We have built APIs, solutions and tools for media on video analytics and management use cases.
Thanks to the new agentic and AI technology progress, we have now built a tool that we really wanted to build ten years ago, but couldn't!

Valossa Assistant - AI Video Assistant — Like ChatGPT, But Built for Video Work

Upload any video. The AI watches it — not just the speech transcript — across 7 modalities: speech, visuals, audio, faces, moods, on-screen text, structure. Ask anything: find clips, get insights, get summaries, check content safety. Like ChatGPT, but it actually sees and hears your video. When you're ready to edit: collect clips in an Edit Basket, open a built-in timeline, ask for more clips inside your project, cut by words, remove silence, crop per clip, add subtitles. Ask first, edit second.
