Baarzo is a software development company based in Palo Alto, California. It has built a video search engine that analyzes video content to identify moments that match a user’s query, rather than relying on text around the video. The platform enables users to locate specific moments in video archives or personal libraries, such as a sports clip or a child blowing out birthday candles. The system can recognize hundreds of thousands of objects and millions of faces, enabling precise timing when the search elements interact in the video. The core team includes domain experts from Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, UIUC, and IITs. Baarzo has been acquired by Google.
