The Untapped Potential of Enterprise Video Intelligence
Internal videos are exploding. Needle's AI makes video content as searchable as text documents.
Key Takeaways
- Enterprises generate 2-5 TB of video content annually, yet 80%+ remains unsearchable
- Needle's AI indexes video transcripts and makes them queryable via natural language
- Organizations report 75% reduction in time spent locating specific video content
- Key use cases: corporate training, legal testimony review, sales call analysis, and meeting recordings
- Video becomes an active knowledge asset instead of archived, inaccessible data
Organizations generate terabytes of video annually - training sessions, all-hands meetings, customer calls, product demos, compliance recordings. According to Gartner, enterprise video content grows 30% year over year, yet over 80% of this content remains effectively unsearchable. Needle's video retrieval leverages AI to make video as searchable as text documents, turning archived footage into an active knowledge base.
How Needle Makes Video Content Searchable
- Upload video files or connect a video source (Google Drive, SharePoint, Fireflies, etc.)
- Needle extracts and indexes the transcript using AI transcription
- The indexed content becomes part of your collection's knowledge base
- Search video content using natural-language questions via chat
- Receive answers with timestamps and source references pointing to exact moments
Key Applications by Industry
| Use Case | Video Type | Without Needle | With Needle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Corporate L&D | Training recordings | Employees re-watch entire videos | Search for specific topics, get timestamped answers |
| Legal & Compliance | Depositions, testimony | Manual review of hours of footage | Query specific statements across all recordings |
| Sales Intelligence | Sales calls, demos | Managers sample-review a few calls | Analyze objections and patterns across all calls |
| Customer Support | Support call recordings | Escalation issues go untracked | Surface recurring issues and resolution patterns |
| Executive Meetings | Board meetings, all-hands | Rely on meeting notes | Search exact quotes and decisions from recordings |
Measurable Impact of Video Intelligence
- 75% reduction in time spent locating specific information in video content
- 80%+ of enterprise video is currently unsearchable - Needle makes it accessible
- 30% YoY growth in enterprise video content makes the search problem increasingly urgent
- Faster onboarding: New employees search training videos instead of re-watching hours of content
- Better decisions: Leaders access exact quotes and context from past discussions in seconds
Combining Video with Other Knowledge Sources
Video intelligence becomes even more powerful when combined with other data in the same Needle collection. Ask a question like "What did the CEO say about the product roadmap at the all-hands, and how does it compare to the strategy doc?" and get an answer that draws from both video transcripts and written documents.
Summary
Enterprise video is one of the largest untapped knowledge resources in most organizations. With 80%+ of video content effectively unsearchable and content growing 30% year over year, the gap between video creation and video accessibility widens every quarter. Needle's AI-powered video indexing transforms recordings into searchable knowledge - enabling 75% faster information retrieval, cross-source queries, and timestamped answers. Whether it's training libraries, legal testimony, sales calls, or executive meetings, Needle turns video from archived data into active intelligence.
