Find the asset by what is inside it.
SearchMedia.ai is the media search engine we built ourselves. It reads every asset on the way in — so your library becomes searchable by subject, not by whoever happened to name the file.
Your archive is only as good as its filenames.
Most media libraries are searchable by whatever an editor typed at 2am on deadline. The footage you need is in there. Finding it means remembering what someone else called it — or scrubbing through hours of it.
Read for visual subject
Images and video are analysed for what they actually depict, so a search returns the shot rather than the file that happens to be named for it.
Transcribed and mined
Spoken audio and written documents are transcribed and reduced to their key phrases, which means the words inside them become part of the index.
Converted on arrival
Uncommon and legacy formats are converted automatically before analysis, so the odd file from an old archive does not quietly fall out of the index.
Included with every RFS deployment.
SearchMedia.ai is the search engine inside RFS — The Production Hub. Every asset that moves through an RFS request is read on the way in, which means the archive builds itself out of work your team was already doing. No separate ingest step, no second system to maintain.
It is KSG proprietary. We built it because the media search we wanted to give RFS customers did not exist at a price a station group would pay.
A search engine you can point at your own repository.
The longer-term product is standalone: connect an existing media repository to SearchMedia.ai and make it searchable by subject, whether or not you run RFS.
For newsrooms and archives
Surface the footage you already own when a story breaks, instead of rediscovering it months later.
For production and podcasting
Feed a searchable archive into downstream work — the kind of comparative and retrospective storytelling that is impractical when the archive is opaque.
Where SearchMedia.ai actually is right now.
- Live inside RFS. If you run RFS, you are already using it.
- Standalone product in development. The version you can point at your own repository is being built and is not yet generally available.
- No public pricing yet. We are not quoting tiers for the standalone product until it is in real customers’ hands.
If you hold a media archive you cannot search properly — a station group, a production company, a public agency sitting on decades of footage — tell us what is in it and what you wish you could ask of it. That is the conversation we want to be having while we build.
