Zonic Nandemo · Zonic Dekiru

From raw footage to usable intelligence.

Record live or upload hours of video, then understand it, find evidence, answer long-form questions, and build editable sequences you finish in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut — in the Workbench or through the open Platform API.

How it works

From footage to answers and production

01

Connect or Record Footage

Upload to managed Cloud storage, work from a Hybrid proxy workflow or a Local workspace, or record cameras, phones and live streams straight into a project.

→

02

Understand and Reason

Transcripts, scenes, people, metadata, and semantic indexes turn long recordings into searchable evidence, answers, comparisons, and editorial decisions.

→

03

Review, Share and Produce

Revise the sequence, share it by link for review, render it, or open it in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut. Human corrections create the signal for better editorial skills without claiming automatic learning that has not shipped.

Live capture

Record the event. Cut it before it ends.

Bring cameras, phones and live streams into one project on a computer at the venue. Zonic understands the footage while it is still recording, so you can search it, ask about it and build sequences during the event.

Paid plans

Cameras and capture cards

Record a camera or a switcher output through an HDMI capture card, or any webcam. Several cameras can record into the same project at once.

Live streams

Push RTMP or SRT from OBS, a hardware encoder or a streaming camera over the local network, or pull an RTSP camera. A short Wi-Fi dropout does not end the recording.

Phones

Record from a phone's browser into the project through the venue computer. The EagleShot app for iOS and Android is coming soon.

Understood while it records

Transcripts and scene descriptions are built as the recording grows, so the first hour is searchable while the second is still being recorded.

Edit during the event

Ask Dekiru for highlights, quotes or a recap sequence while recording continues. A second device can prompt and review at the same time.

Watch and share live

The receiving computer shows recordings from other devices live, and share links let a producer or client review cuts before the event is over.

Live capture runs on a computer at the venue with the Zonic desktop app installed.

Architecture

Two systems: one sees, one thinks

No single model sees everything, and each one fails differently. Zonic splits the job in two — and the second half exists to catch what the first half got wrong.

Zonic Nandemo

AI's Five Senses

Turns unordered raw footage into structured, searchable understanding — every modality read at once, by the model best suited to it.

  • Visual understanding — scenes, objects, actions

  • Speech — transcripts, speaker diarization, voiceprints

  • Faces — detection, identity matching, tracking

  • Metadata — time, location, camera, topic

Zonic Dekiru

AI's Brain

Reasons across everything Nandemo extracted, cross-references the signals to correct what any single model got wrong, and only then commits an edit.

  • Cross-modal reasoning — links people, speech and scenes

  • Correction by triangulation, not by majority vote

  • Precise retrieval — the right moment, not the right file

  • Conversational editing — say it, and it cuts

Zonic pipeline: raw footage enters Nandemo, which extracts visual understanding, speech, faces and metadata into structured data; Dekiru then reasons across that data to locate people, summarize events, and edit conversationally.

Products and execution

Two products. Three ways to run the work.

Workbench and Platform share intelligence kernels, but they are separate products. Cloud, Hybrid, and Local decide where media and compute live — including browser and user-device capacity that can reduce managed infrastructure cost.

Zonic Workbench

The interactive Next.js product for projects, live capture, conversation, human review, sequence revision, sharing, preview, rendering, export, and execution-mode choice.

Zonic Platform API

A separately consumable REST, MCP, and connector product for headless ingestion, long-video understanding, retrieval, and supported asynchronous jobs.

Distributed execution modes

HORIZONTAL CLOUD SCALE

Cloud

Managed storage and independent cloud jobs provide horizontal scale. The browser coordinates uploads and can preprocess video to reduce transfer size.

CLIENT-DISTRIBUTED SCALE

Hybrid

Full-resolution media work stays near local files while proxies and scalable intelligence use the cloud. Each user contributes CPU and storage, lowering cloud-heavy media cost.

USER-DEVICE SCALE

Local

Media and production workloads use the user's filesystem, CPU, and storage. It scales to that machine and is not yet fully offline because selected model providers still require network access.

Capabilities

What Zonic can do

Ready capabilities, conditional workflows, and explicit non-capabilities — every status comes from one shared capability contract.

Ready

Projects and Source Libraries

Organize footage and metadata by stable project and source identity in Workbench or through the Platform API.

Conditional

Live Capture

Record cameras, phones and RTMP/SRT streams into a project and search them while they record. Paid plans, with the Zonic desktop app.

Ready

Scene Understanding

Detect and describe actions, people, locations, objects, and visual events with precise source time ranges.

Ready

Long-Video Semantic Search

Find visual moments and spoken passages by meaning across long recordings and multiple sources, with timestamped evidence.

Ready

Evidence-Backed VideoQA

Ask questions across scenes, transcripts, and people through Workbench, Project MCP, or the account connector.

Conditional

Cross-Source Reasoning

Compare and synthesize evidence across sources when the required indexes are complete; output quality remains task-dependent.

Ready

Automated Rough Cut

Dekiru turns analyzed footage into an editable sequence using task-specific editorial skills and source evidence.

Ready

Human Sequence Review

Inspect, reorder, trim, and revise an AI-authored sequence while preserving the human correction signal.

Ready

Share Links for Review

Share a sequence or hand-picked footage by link. Reviewers see only what you shared.

Ready

Subtitles in Several Languages

Generate subtitles for a sequence, review each language cue by cue, and import or export SRT.

Ready

Premiere Pro Round Trip

Generate a relinkable .prproj with supported sequence structure, media, captions, audio, and graphics. Bring the saved project back and Zonic keeps your Premiere edit as a new version of the sequence.

Ready

DaVinci Resolve Export

Generate an .fcpxml with cuts, transitions, speed changes, titles and subtitles, or import it straight into a running Resolve.

Conditional

CapCut and JianYing Drafts

Install a supported draft when the target application and local filesystem are available; parity is target-dependent.

Conditional

Open Platform API

Run headless ingestion, analysis, retrieval, and supported asynchronous agent jobs as a separate product from Workbench.

Not shipped

Automatic Finished-Project Learning

Automatically learning from arbitrary completed editor projects is part of the vision, but is not shipped today.

The Learning Loop

Human review creates training signals today. Automatic learning from arbitrary finished projects remains the next loop, not a shipped capability.
