Sieve

Cloud platform for AI video/audio apps

Overview

SieveData runs a cloud-based AI platform for building and deploying custom video and audio applications, providing ready-made models and the deployment infrastructure so product teams can create and own AI-powered features with just a few lines of code. Developers use APIs to integrate capabilities like video cropping, translation, transcription, and noise removal, while each app includes an auto-generated playground for testing and collaboration; the system scales automatically as traffic grows. It differentiates itself by pairing usable AI models with end-to-end infrastructure and an emphasis on ownership, plus per-app playgrounds and automatic scaling to support rapid collaboration. The goal is to help product teams quickly build, test, and deploy scalable, cost-visible video and audio AI features.
