Empowering Your Business with AI: Building a Dynamic Q&A Copilot in Azure AI Studio

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and machine learning, developers and enterprises are continually seeking platforms that not only simplify the creation of AI applications but also ensure these applications are robust, secure, and scalable. Enter Azure AI Studio, Microsoft’s latest foray into the generative AI space, designed to empower developers to harness the full…

Low quality books that appear to be AI generated are making their way into public libraries via their digital catalogs, forcing librarians who are already understaffed to either sort through a functionally infinite number of books to determine what is written by humans and what is generated by AI, or to spend taxpayer dollars to provide patrons with information they don’t realize is AI-generated.

With Hoopla, librarians have to opt into Hoopla’s entire catalog, then pay for whatever their customers choose to borrow from that catalog. The only way librarians can limit what Hoopla books their customers can borrow is by setting a limit on the price of books. For example, a library can use Hoopla but make it so their customers can only borrow books that cost the library $5 per use.

“Investigating these authors, their book covers, their social media, etc takes A LOT OF TIME, especially with the volume of questionable material increasing month to month (and that's not including the sheer amount of legitimate books published each month in adult fiction that I'm looking at),” one librarian who asked to remain anonymous so she could talk openly about her job, told me. “Is it the best use of my time doing this work on top of my other duties when customers may or may not care? And with the rising multitudes of AI generated content, will there come a point where it just ‘is what it is?’”

This type of low quality, AI generated content, is what we at 404 Media and others have come to call AI slop. Librarians, whose job it is in part to curate what books their community can access, have been dealing with similar problems in the publishing industry for years, and have a different name for it: vendor slurry. While the term now encompasses what seems like AI-generated content as well, it predates the rise of generative AI, and also refers to the glut of low quality, often self-published ebooks or book “summaries” that are common on Hoopla. As some librarians told me, the sheer quantity of books in Hoopla’s service makes it seem more valuable because it offers such a large number of books, but in reality that number is misleadingly inflated by this slurry.

Several of the librarians I talked to said that they are worried about discussing [the problems raised by Hoopla's weak, unclear selection policies, including the 2022 inclusion of explicitly white nationalist texts,] because of the growing hostility towards libraries and groups like Moms for Liberty demanding that books about LGBTQ rights, race, and ethnicity be removed from libraries. One the one hand, librarians want to curate their collections and make sure their patrons are getting access to quality information. On the other hand, they don’t want people to think that they are trying to censor what materials patrons can access in way that’s comparable to what organizations like Moms for Liberty want. None of the librarians I talked to suggested the AI-generated content needed to be banned from Hoopla and libraries only because it is AI-generated. It might have its place, but it needs to be clearly labeled, and more importantly, provide borrowers with quality information.

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

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/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.

IoT for Vehicle Health and Safety: Integrating IoT sensors into vehicles provides real-time data on vehicle performance, maintenance needs, and even driver behavior. This allows for predictive maintenance, enhances safety, and ensures a well-maintained fleet. For specialized services like luxury transport or accessible vehicles, this level of monitoring is invaluable.

Geo-fencing for Operational Efficiency: Setting virtual boundaries allows apps to enforce service areas, manage demand-based pricing for specific zones, and even trigger automated alerts for drivers entering or leaving certain regions.

Seamless User Experience Powered by Smart Design: A clunky app, no matter how clever its backend, will fail. Smart startups prioritize:

Intuitive UI/UX Design: Easy user-friendly registration & login, clear booking flows, and minimal taps to get a ride are paramount.

Multiple, Secure Payment Options: Integrating diverse in-app payment integration options, including digital wallets, credit/debit cards, and even specialized payment methods for corporate accounts, ensures convenience and broad accessibility. Robust security protocols are non-negotiable.

Personalization and Preferences: AI can learn user preferences, from preferred car types to favorite drivers. Offering features like "preferred driver" or pre-set ride settings enhances the customer experience in ride apps and builds loyalty.

Beyond the Passenger: Empowering Drivers with Tech

A significant differentiator for these successful startups is their focus on driver satisfaction. Smart tech plays a crucial role here:

Optimized Driver Earnings: AI-powered algorithms help drivers maximize their earnings by suggesting high-demand areas, optimizing routes to reduce dead mileage, and providing clear, transparent earning summaries. This goes beyond basic commission structures and contributes to better app monetization strategies for the platform.

Driver Onboarding and Support Systems: Streamlined driver onboarding system with digital verification and training modules, coupled with in-app support chats and resources, ensures a positive driver experience from day one.

Fleet Management Software: For companies operating their own fleets or managing a network of independent drivers, sophisticated fleet management software optimizes vehicle allocation, maintenance schedules, and overall operational efficiency.

How to Export Clean Code & Avoid Vendor Lock-In with FAB Builder 

Have you ever built an application on a platform only to realize later that you’re stuck with it? This is a common problem in the modern development ecosystem, especially with the growing popularity of no code platforms. While these platforms promise speed, flexibility, and scalability, many developers and businesses find themselves trapped in what’s called vendor lock-in. But does it have to be this way? 

What if there was a way to combine the speed of a no code platform with the freedom of custom code? What if you could develop applications quickly and still walk away with clean, exportable code you truly own? This is where FAB Builder enters the conversation, changing the way we think about code generation and app development. 

Why is Clean Code Export Important? 

Let’s start with the basics. What does it mean to export clean code? 

In the world of application development platforms, clean code refers to code that is easy to read, maintain, modify, and reuse. Clean code is well-structured, follows standard conventions, and avoids unnecessary complexity. Exportable clean code means that what you create inside a platform can be taken out and run, modified, or extended independently. 

This feature is not just a convenience—it’s a necessity. 

When your business depends on a web or mobile app, being tied to a specific platform to maintain or scale it can become a serious roadblock. You might face challenges like: 

Paying recurring licensing fees 

Waiting for vendor-specific updates 

Inability to integrate with other tools 

Trouble onboarding developers who aren’t familiar with the proprietary environment 

Risk of losing your application if the platform goes offline or changes its policy 

Would you buy a car if you could only drive it on one specific road? Probably not. That’s what vendor lock-in feels like in the tech world. 

What Is Vendor Lock-In in No Code Platforms? 

Vendor lock-in happens when the platform you use to build your application restricts your ability to move your app or data elsewhere. Many no code platforms offer great tools, intuitive design, and fast deployment, but the trade-off is that the app lives entirely within their ecosystem. 

You may have limited access to the underlying code, meaning you can’t export or run your app without the platform. Even if code export is offered, it’s often poorly structured, bloated, or filled with proprietary dependencies that make it nearly impossible to edit or manage outside the original environment. 

Is this really the freedom that no code promised? 

Can You Really Have the Best of Both Worlds? 

Here comes the big question: Can you combine the ease of no code platforms with full control over your application? The answer lies in the evolution of modern code generation technology. 

Traditional code generators have been around for a while, but many still fall into the same trap—producing unreadable or unscalable code. But with advancements in AI code generators and smart code builders, the approach is shifting. 

FAB Builder, for instance, has been designed to rethink how we build, export, and scale applications. 

How FAB Builder Approaches Code Generation Differently 

When examining FAB Builder, a few things become clear. The platform positions itself as an intuitive application development platform that puts control back into the developer’s hands. 

So how does FAB Builder help you avoid vendor lock-in? 

1. Exportable, Developer-Ready Code 

One of the standout features is its ability to generate exportable code that adheres to standard frameworks. Instead of trapping you in a closed ecosystem, FAB Builder acts more like an intelligent code generator—allowing you to develop visually and then export real, clean code. 

You can take this code, modify it in your preferred IDE, integrate it with third-party systems, or even host it independently. This breaks the cycle of dependency and allows full autonomy over the product. 

Wouldn't you rather build with confidence, knowing your code is yours to keep? 

2. Clean Code Structure for Scalability 

The code generated by FAB Builder isn’t just exportable—it’s also clean and modular. That means any developer with experience in standard technologies can pick it up, understand it, and work with it. Clean, readable code is crucial when scaling your application, onboarding new team members, or debugging. 

If you’ve ever tried to untangle poorly generated code, you know how much time and energy that consumes. So why not use a code builder that keeps code hygiene in mind from the beginning? 

3. AI-Powered Code Generation with Developer Logic 

Another key differentiator is FAB Builder’s use of AI—not just for smart suggestions or faster development, but for real-time AI code generation that respects logic, flow, and modern best practices. 

Instead of spitting out blocks of generic code, the system understands the user’s intent, making it possible to generate clean, optimized code that mirrors how a developer would write it. 

Isn���t it time that AI-assisted coding stopped being a gimmick and started being practical? 

Why Should Businesses Care About Vendor Lock-In? 

From a business perspective, being tied to a single platform can have long-term consequences. Initially, it may seem cost-effective or timesaving, but as your application evolves, the limitations begin to surface. 

You might need to: 

Integrate with legacy systems 

Implement custom features not supported by the platform 

Shift to on-premises hosting due to compliance requirements 

Transition to a new tech stack based on market demands 

If you’re locked in, each of these moves becomes difficult, expensive, or impossible. 

Choosing a platform that gives you control from day one can help future-proof your product. 

Is No Code the Right Approach if You Want Full Control? 

This is where the conversation gets interesting. Traditional views often pit no code against full-stack development—as if one is fast but limited, while the other is powerful but slow. But with platforms like FAB Builder, this binary thinking is being challenged. 

No code doesn’t have to mean no control. 

By providing a hybrid approach—visual development backed by exportable, structured code—FAB Builder offers a middle path. It empowers non-developers to prototype and build, while also enabling developers to refine, scale, and own the final product. 

Can a no code platform be both easy and professional? The answer seems to be yes—if it’s built with flexibility and ownership in mind. 

How to Avoid Vendor Lock-In: Practical Steps 

Avoiding vendor lock-in requires a conscious approach. Here are key considerations when evaluating a platform: 

Does the Platform Offer Code Export? 

This should be the first box to check. Look for platforms that don’t just offer code export, but ensure that the code is well-structured and free from proprietary dependencies. 

What Technology Stack Does It Use? 

Make sure the generated code is based on widely accepted frameworks and languages. This will make it easier to maintain and scale with standard developer resources. 

Can Developers Take Over Easily? 

Even if the app was built using no code tools, the code should be intuitive enough for professional developers to work with. You shouldn’t need to “rebuild” everything just to add new features. 

Is the Platform Transparent? 

Transparency about how the code is structured, what technologies are used, and how the backend operates is critical. Avoid platforms that operate like black boxes. 

Does It Support Long-Term Flexibility? 

Think about your product’s future. Will you need to integrate with other services? Host on different servers? Add new user roles or workflows? Choose a platform that supports this kind of evolution. 

Is FAB Builder the Future of Code Ownership? 

While there are many tools in the no code space, few manage to offer the same degree of balance between visual simplicity and backend control as FAB Builder. Its emphasis on clean code generation, developer-ready exports, and AI-assisted logic makes it a powerful tool for those who want to build quickly but scale intelligently. 

More than just a development platform, it acts as a code builder that doesn’t compromise code ownership—a crucial need in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing tech environment. 

In a world where technology changes overnight, wouldn’t you rather build a foundation you control? 

Final Thoughts: What Kind of Builder Do You Want to Be? 

Choosing a no code platform isn’t just about faster development—it’s about long-term control. With most platforms, speed often comes at the cost of ownership. But tools like FAB Builder challenge that norm by offering both visual simplicity and full access to clean, exportable code. 

In a rapidly changing tech world, being able to own, edit, and scale your application without limitations is a major advantage. Whether you're building a startup MVP or a scalable enterprise solution, having the freedom to grow on your own terms is essential. 

So ask yourself—do you want to be a builder who’s locked into a system, or one who fully owns and shapes their product from start to finish? With the right platform, you don’t have to choose between ease and control—you can have both. 

FAQs 

Q1. What is vendor lock-in in no code platforms?  Vendor lock-in refers to the limitations users face when they cannot move their app, data, or code outside a platform, often due to lack of exportable or editable code. 

Q2. Can no code platforms like FAB Builder export clean code?  Yes, FAB Builder allows developers to export clean, modular code that can be independently hosted, modified, and extended without relying on the platform.
