Moments Lab Secures $24 Million to Redefine Video Discovery With Agentic AI

Moments Lab Secures $24 Million to Redefine Video Discovery With Agentic AI

Moments Lab, the AI company redefining how organizations work with video, has raised $24 million in new funding, led by Oxx with participation from Orange Ventures, Kadmos, Supernova Invest, and Elaia Partners. The investment will supercharge the company’s U.S. expansion and support continued development of its agentic AI platform — a system designed to turn massive video archives into instantly searchable and monetizable assets.

The heart of Moments Lab is MXT-2, a multimodal video-understanding AI that watches, hears, and interprets video with context-aware precision. It doesn’t just label content — it narrates it, identifying people, places, logos, and even cinematographic elements like shot types and pacing. This natural-language metadata turns hours of footage into structured, searchable intelligence, usable across creative, editorial, marketing, and monetization workflows.

But the true leap forward is the introduction of agentic AI — an autonomous system that can plan, reason, and adapt to a user’s intent. Instead of simply executing instructions, it understands prompts like “generate a highlight reel for social” and takes action: pulling scenes, suggesting titles, selecting formats, and aligning outputs with a brand’s voice or platform requirements.

“With MXT, we already index video faster than any human ever could,” said Philippe Petitpont, CEO and co-founder of Moments Lab. “But with agentic AI, we’re building the next layer — AI that acts as a teammate, doing everything from crafting rough cuts to uncovering storylines hidden deep in the archive.”

From Search to Storytelling: A Platform Built for Speed and Scale

Moments Lab is more than an indexing engine. It’s a full-stack platform that empowers media professionals to move at the speed of story. That starts with search — arguably the most painful part of working with video today.

Most production teams still rely on filenames, folders, and tribal knowledge to locate content. Moments Lab changes that with plain text search that behaves like Google for your video library. Users can simply type what they’re looking for — “CEO talking about sustainability” or “crowd cheering at sunset” — and retrieve exact clips within seconds.

Key features include:

AI video intelligence: MXT-2 doesn’t just tag content — it describes it using time-coded natural language, capturing what’s seen, heard, and implied.

Search anyone can use: Designed for accessibility, the platform allows non-technical users to search across thousands of hours of footage using everyday language.

Instant clipping and export: Once a moment is found, it can be clipped, trimmed, and exported or shared in seconds — no need for timecode handoffs or third-party tools.

Metadata-rich discovery: Filter by people, events, dates, locations, rights status, or any custom facet your workflow requires.

Quote and soundbite detection: Automatically transcribes audio and highlights the most impactful segments — perfect for interview footage and press conferences.

Content classification: Train the system to sort footage by theme, tone, or use case — from trailers to corporate reels to social clips.

Translation and multilingual support: Transcribes and translates speech, even in multilingual settings, making content globally usable.

This end-to-end functionality has made Moments Lab an indispensable partner for TV networks, sports rights holders, ad agencies, and global brands. Recent clients include Thomson Reuters, Amazon Ads, Sinclair, Hearst, and Banijay — all grappling with increasingly complex content libraries and growing demands for speed, personalization, and monetization.

Built for Integration, Trained for Precision

MXT-2 is trained on 1.5 billion+ data points, reducing hallucinations and delivering high confidence outputs that teams can rely on. Unlike proprietary AI stacks that lock metadata in unreadable formats, Moments Lab keeps everything in open text, ensuring full compatibility with downstream tools like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Brightcove, YouTube, and enterprise MAM/CMS platforms via API or no-code integrations.

“The real power of our system is not just speed, but adaptability,” said Fred Petitpont, co-founder and CTO. “Whether you’re a broadcaster clipping sports highlights or a brand licensing footage to partners, our AI works the way your team already does — just 100x faster.”

The platform is already being used to power everything from archive migration to live event clipping, editorial research, and content licensing. Users can share secure links with collaborators, sell footage to external buyers, and even train the system to align with niche editorial styles or compliance guidelines.

From Startup to Standard-Setter

Founded in 2016 by twin brothers Frederic Petitpont and Phil Petitpont, Moments Lab began with a simple question: What if you could Google your video library? Today, it’s answering that — and more — with a platform that redefines how creative and editorial teams work with media. It has become the most awarded indexing AI in the video industry since 2023 and shows no signs of slowing down.

“When we first saw MXT in action, it felt like magic,” said Gökçe Ceylan, Principal at Oxx. “This is exactly the kind of product and team we look for — technically brilliant, customer-obsessed, and solving a real, growing need.”

With this new round of funding, Moments Lab is poised to lead a category that didn’t exist five years ago — agentic AI for video — and define the future of content discovery.

i just went through and turned off the sharing setting on all my main/side blogs each, and here's my thoughts on the whole thing:

it's likely that anything public could have been scraped by the feckless scumbags building most ai systems. however, information regarding tumblr's data sale is rumored to include private, personal, deleted, and/or otherwise illegal data; if for whatever goddamn reason they actually contractually hold themselves to not accessing that data, then that is not nothing. (and, for example, if they are barred from accessing non-public data because of this, that is a big deal actually) (yes, i know, it's complicated. these are bullet points)

if Tumblr Corporate or one of the AI companies is running numbers on this, it's in everyone's favor to count in the "don't scrape me" pile (if for nothing else, then to support advocates on staff telling execs what a bad idea it all is)

there absolutely has to be some fuckery afoot with Tumblr being desperate for income and AIs being desperate for data they may have already scraped, which is to say i think it's in your best interests to have it on record you Do Not Consent.

corollary to fuckery being afoot, even if it comes down to just being demonstrative politically of the rejection of the way capitalism sucks down and spits out every single goddamned thing in its path, i think that the rejection is necessary morally and ethically. sometimes you just have to do something for yourself, even if no one else will see it.

exploitation and manipulation rely on weaseling their way in. despair and apathy falls in their favor. privacy can be "easy" to give up but nearly impossible to reclaim. do not consent in advance until you know what you are consenting to. we do not.

i'm sure i had other thoughts but i'll have to come back to it when i'm more coherent

YABI Yet another ByteByteGo Infographic: This one shows the difference between a traditioanl CRUD (create, read, update and delete) system and a more contemporary event sourcing system. Both achieve the same end result but the event sourcing model is more resilient to failure and data corruption. It also scales well in a microservices environment.

Although the diagram does not mention it, the two systems can be used in a complimentary fashion. The CRUD system can be exposed as a typical REST API which is very well understood by developers and quite easy to develop to. Meanwhile, within the organisation the CRUD methods can easily proxy to events. The net result is a modern event sourcing system internally with a low friction REST API for integration.

HIMSS24: Day 3 highlights

- By Danielle Siarri , Nuadox -

Here are our Day 3 highlights of the 2024 HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition in Orlando (March 11-15).

Today, I was part of a discussion revolving around advancements in interoperability within the healthcare system, particularly within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Eliza Levy, representing the Lighthouse program, discussed the progress made in interoperability in the past five to eight years, highlighting initiatives like the Patient Health API and the Clinical Health API. These APIs enable veterans to access their health information securely and share it across various applications, improving their healthcare experience. There are over 20 applications already in production.

Furthermore, the discussion touched upon the importance of ethical frameworks for data access and use, as well as expanding the definition of interoperability to include end-user experience and business outcomes.

Questions from participants addressed topics such as ambient technology implementation and the future deployment of AI technology to reduce clinician burnout within the VA.

Additionally, the conversation focused on engaging diverse innovators and startups to further innovation in healthcare delivery.

Stay tuned for Day 4...
