Short answer

How can I manage video assets and clips with AI?

You use your AI to trigger uploads, edit metadata, and extract specific clips from live sessions. This turns your video library into a searchable, manageable database controlled by natural language. You get direct control over your Livepeer storage and session data.

The outcomes

Where your video tasks land.

Your AI directs every command to the right part of your Livepeer workflow.

STORAGE

Asset management

The AI handles the heavy lifting of organizing your files. You can list what you have or request new uploads.

METADATA

Content updates

Your AI modifies asset details on the fly. It keeps your video descriptions and tags current without manual entry.

CLIPS

Session extraction

Turn long live streams into short segments. The AI pulls specific clips from your recorded sessions.

HUMAN

Manual review

You stay in control of the final decisions. The AI won't delete your core library without your explicit command.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the Livepeer network.

  1. Inventory check

    The AI looks through your existing library to see what is currently stored on the network.

    list_assetsget_asset

  2. Content ingestion

    You tell the AI to bring in new footage, and it handles the transfer from a URL or starts an upload request process.

  3. Metadata management

    The AI updates the details of your files to keep your library organized and searchable.

    update_asset

  4. Clip generation

    The AI handles uploads via URLs or by initiating an upload request process through the network.

    No. The available tools are limited to managing assets, metadata, and clip generation.
