Problem
Professionals accumulate vast amounts of unstructured media—meeting recordings, video footage, voice memos, screenshots, and documents—that get scattered across folders and hard drives. This data exists but is effectively lost because it cannot be searched, recalled, or connected when needed, forcing users to manually scrub through timelines and filenames to find specific moments.
Solution
Clipto provides a local-first AI memory system that runs entirely on the user's computer, transforming raw files into a growing, searchable knowledge base. The platform automatically transcribes, tags, and analyzes videos, audio, images, and documents using on-device AI models for speech, vision, and language understanding. Users can search across all their media with natural language queries, find exact timestamps, extract clips, and generate summaries without any files leaving their device. Clipto also connects to external AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through MCP, enabling traceable answers that cite the exact source moment. Cloud intelligence is optional, and the system works fully offline, making it suitable for field work and privacy-sensitive environments.
Target Audience
Primary users are video editors, filmmakers, photographers, marketers, and content professionals who work with large volumes of media daily and need to quickly locate specific moments, as well as researchers and knowledge workers who want a private, searchable repository of meetings and documents.
