Spring Launch Week - Day 1: Native Audio and Video Retrieval Augmented Generation Has Arrived

Bob Remeika

Co-founder and CEO

Today, we’re thrilled to announce native multimodal support for audio and video content in Ragie!

With native support for audio and video you can upload any audio or video file, ask a question, get an answer, and stream from the exact moment it came from.

“What was the score at halftime?”, “Can you show me the clip about password security?, “What are the names of all of the horses in the Kentucky derby?”

All of these questions and more can be answered using A/V Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). It’s easy to get started with a simple API call or by using one of our many integrations, like Google Drive, to sync all of your A/V content.

Develop powerful multimedia applications

By integrating audio and video context into RAG applications, developers can create immersive multimedia generative AI solutions. Ragie's advanced multimodal pipeline streamlines this process, empowering developers to build impactful applications across industries and transform how users engage with multimedia content.

Multimodal RAG applications are applicable for a variety of use cases:

  • Corporate Training & e-Learning: Revolutionize training programs by making video and audio modules fully searchable. Employees can quickly find specific information based on spoken content or visual elements.
  • Media & Entertainment: Unlock new levels of video analysis and production efficiency.
  • Healthcare & Medical Research: Accelerate research and analysis of patient interactions with instant access to critical moments in audio and video recordings.
  • Legal & Compliance: Streamline legal reviews with rapid retrieval of key information from hearings, depositions, and other multimedia evidence.
  • Customer Support: Analyze customer calls to grade performance or discover upsell opportunities.

The Magic Behind Multimedia Search and Streaming

Ragie’s battletested infrastructure and intelligent implementation of the latest RAG and AI techniques are behind its blazing fast and accurate multimodal indexing and retrieval engine, but a key innovation is Ragie’s new streaming infrastructure.

Ragie not only delivers results but also delivers raw audio and video streams into your application or agent from the exact moment where it matters—making it the only “application ready”, fully managed multimodal RAG-as-a-Service solution on the market.

The Ragie A/V pipeline processes audio and video by transcribing and describing content, then chunking, indexing, and storing it for search and streaming. Applications and agents query the index to retrieve relevant content references, which are streamed directly from storage.

Ragie delivers a complete multimodal pipeline—transcription, visual description, chunking, indexing, and retrieval—out of the box. Instead of investing months into building complex infrastructure to process and search multimedia content, developers can plug into Ragie and get instant, scalable access to high-quality search and streaming across audio and video. This drastically reduces engineering overhead, speeds up product development, and enables teams to focus on building differentiated user experiences instead of reinventing multimodal RAG ingest and streaming infrastructure.

Ragie’s multimodal infrastructure comes loaded with capabilities out of the box.  

Experience Unprecedented Multimedia Capabilities:

  • Native Audio Support: Effortlessly process a wide range of audio formats including MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG, AAC, and FLAC
  • Native Video Support: Seamlessly handle diverse video formats including MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, FLV, MKV, MPEG, MPEGS, MPG, WMV, and 3GPP
