Lookup

👋 Hey Product Hunt!

I’m Ajay, co-founder of Lookup, and today we’re launching.

The problem:

Most vision products are narrow. They optimize for one thing — safety, checkout, traffic — and stop there. But vision is only valuable when it’s inside another product. As a superpower.

If you’re a dev or PM, you don’t want a “vision startup.”

You want your app to see. So it can improve metrics and outcomes on its own.

What Lookup does:

👉 Upload or connect video

👉 Ask a question in plain English

👉 Get structured answers — counts, timelines, events — with proof clips you can trust.

We hide the heavy lifting (detection, tracking, reasoning). You just call the API.

How it works:

Lookup runs a cascade of models (motion → detection → video-language).

We store results in:

– Object DB: what + where

– Temporal DB: when + order

Together, video becomes queryable like a database. See once, remember forever.

Who it’s for:

⚡ Product / FDE / Dev teams — add “eyes” to your app, build your app workflow on top of vision.

Why now: Cameras are everywhere. Storage is cheap. What’s missing is a layer that makes video useful for any product. Lookup is that layer.

Who we are:

We’re second-time founders in video AI.

– At OurEye.ai (YC W22) we scaled to 1,500+ deployments.

– At AvairSense, our AI camera hit 1,000+ homes.

We learned one thing: computer vision only wins when it disappears into the workflow. Lookup is that lesson, turned into a platform.

Playground:

Try it yourself. Upload a video, ask questions, see answers. No training. No labeling. Just truth from video.

👉 If your app could see, what would you build?

We’d love to hear. 🚀

Shoutout to @thisiskp_ for hunting us. Also @zaczuo and @rohanrecommends for the help.

Will it be possible to upload a YouTube link (or any kind of link from a third-party platform) instead of only uploading the file?

What would you build in your app if you could integrate vision within your product?

very cool!
how long of videos do you support right now?
also, does it provide timestamps for given events?

Awesome Idea , and a very nice implementation

Keep it up guys !! Long way to go

Great launch! How does Lookup handle different video formats? Excited to try it out

The exact thing I was waiting to see in my home CCTV footage application. I have pets at home and people visiting home when I am out. I generally have to go through 9 hours of footage to catch 30s clip which drains me otherwise. Looking forward to check it out.

Also, does it process only real world video or can it process screen recordings. Curious to know if it can be integrated to get insights on remotely recorded screen sessions.
