Topic: Intelligent Video Analysis with AI
Ever wished you could search and chat with your video content like it was a document? In this hands-on presentation, we’ll show you how.
You’ll walk through a real-world solution that uses Azure AI Video Indexer to pull transcripts, keywords, and metadata from a video, then makes that content searchable with Azure AI Search, and finally brings it all to life using Azure OpenAI — so you can ask natural language questions and get intelligent answers based on what’s in the video.
Whether you’re building tools for internal training, customer support, or just curious what’s possible with AI and video — this workshop will get you started with something practical and powerful.
