Where video becomes citable

Stop scrubbing. Start searching.

The video search API for agents — meaning-based, grounded, timestamped.

POST /v1/searchsearch.sh
curl "https://api.cerul.ai/v1/search" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CERUL_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "query": "Sam Altman views on AI video generation tools"
  }'

One API call. Cerul searches across speech, visual scenes, and on-screen text — then returns timestamped, grounded results your agent can act on.

Features

Every second, searchable

The video search API for agents — meaning-based, grounded, timestamped.

API or App

Two ways to use Cerul

Cerul API and Cerul App are two product surfaces for the same video search idea. Choose the hosted API when your agents need a managed endpoint. Choose the desktop app when your own media library should stay local.

Hosted API

Cerul API on cerul.ai

Cloud

This is the developer platform: API keys, docs, usage, billing, and a hosted video-search endpoint at api.cerul.ai. It is best for agents, SaaS products, research workflows, and teams that want a managed service.

Desktop App

Cerul App on app.cerul.ai

Local-first

This is the desktop version: point it at folders, YouTube channels, and podcasts, then search your own video and audio library locally. It includes a global overlay and local REST API for agents running on your machine.
