Summary

Start here for the platform-level model: indexes, media, prompts, prompt runs, search, connectors, exports, and webhook-driven workflows.

Overview

VideoVector exposes a public workflow surface for teams that need to ingest media, define extraction logic, run prompt-based analysis, search results, and deliver outputs into surrounding systems.

This section explains the platform model from highest level to implementation detail:

  • Platform model: indexes, media, prompts, prompt runs, results, connectors, exports, and webhooks.
  • Prompt schema design: JSON schema rules, nested fields, repeated objects, reserved names, and semantic indexing controls.
  • Prompt execution model: target selection, segmentation modes, transcription, image embeddings, segment-level outputs, and video-level synthesis.
  • Search model: text, image, multimodal, filter, multi-run, SQL, and agentic search behavior.
  • Workflow automation model: connectors, imports, exports, automations, and event delivery.

When to use this section

Use the concepts pages when you need to answer design questions such as:

  • What is the correct unit of organization for a workflow: an index, a prompt, or a prompt run?
  • When should a field live in segment-level output versus video-level synthesis?
  • Which fields are searchable, filterable, or safe to exclude from semantic indexing?
  • When should downstream systems use exports, webhooks, or automations?

If you already know the platform model and want implementation steps, go to Guides. If you need endpoint-level details, go to API reference. If you want code-first integration, start with the Python SDK or MCP docs.

Related documentation

VideoVector organizes media workflows around indexes, prompts, prompt runs, search, and delivery resources. This page explains how those public entities fit together.

Use the guides section for task-oriented implementation steps that build on the core concepts and link directly into API, SDK, and MCP reference material.

API reference

The API reference is organized by resource type and workflow boundary for media ingestion, extraction, retrieval, automation, delivery, and agentic search.
