veridive turns YouTube, podcasts, lectures and interviews into cited answers — pinpointed to the exact second the answer is spoken. Ask in any language! veridive searches live, reads the transcripts, ranks sources by who actually knows, and answers with a click-to-play citation on every claim.
This is what veridive believes, and why it exists. Call it our manifesto.
The most valuable knowledge of our time is no longer being written it's being spoken. The expert who would once have written a paper or a blog post now goes on a podcast, gives a talk, sits for a three-hour interview, or records an explainer. Founders explain their thinking on YouTube. Scientists go deep on podcasts. Investors, doctors, builders and operators say what they really think out loud. We call this vast, growing, mostly-unsearchable body of human knowledge the spoken web and almost none of it is answerable today.
The scale is staggering
Hundreds of hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.
By some estimates, YouTube alone carries on the order of billions of spoken words a day the equivalent of many encyclopedias, daily.
YouTube is effectively the second-largest search engine in the world, with billions of searches a day.
Yet a tiny fraction of videos ever cross even 10,000 views so the vast majority of what's said is, in practice, invisible.
