Echosaw at a glance
What it does
An AI video analysis tool and AI video search engine in one: it transcribes, indexes, and summarizes video, audio, images, and documents so you can search by topic and ask questions with answers cited back to the media source and moment, timestamped for video and audio.
What it accepts
Video, audio, or image files up to 5 GB each, documents (PDF, PPTX, TXT, Markdown) up to 25 MB, or a public URL.
What it costs
Subscriptions from $9/month plus metered usage — from $0.22 to $0.37 per audio minute and $0.43 to $0.58 per video minute depending on tier. No tokens, credits, or per-seat fees.
How it is protected
Encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), never used to train AI models, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.
How you use it
Web app, REST API, or MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI assistants — included on every plan.
Everything you need for media intelligence
From intelligent timelines to synthetic content generation, Echosaw provides a complete toolkit for modern media workflows.
Echosaw is a video content analysis tool for teams that need more than a summary: intelligent video analysis software that transcribes speech, reads on-screen text, detects objects and scenes, and indexes all of it as searchable AI video metadata. Unlike tools to analyze video content automatically for one fixed output, it is an AI that can analyze video once and answer new questions about it later, which is what AI for video analysis should mean.
Citation-backed answers
Every answer cites the media source and moment.
Source-linked results
Search hits link to the exact timestamp in your media.
Evidence for every claim
Detections carry confidence scores and timestamps.
Start at the moment that matters
Transcripts, key moments, on-screen text, or by timeline — you start where you want.
Calls and recordings become searchable
Speaker-separated text with timestamps you can open.
What is on screen is part of the record
Text and objects in the frame, tied to the same timeline. Use AI to describe a video scene by scene, not just its audio.
Find it by what happened
Search by concept, not only a keyword.
A claim you can open
Insights carry a timestamp and a path back to the source — video content analysis AI you can audit.
Outputs from the source
Summarize video content automatically and get derivatives that still point at the original.

Aerial Urban Cityscape with Water
A brief aerial footage clip showing an urban environment from above. Detected visual elements include architecture, buildings, a cityscape, a horizon line, sky, and a body of water or lake. Natural and outdoor elements are consistently present throughout the single segment spanning the full duration.

Detection Board
Outdoor Landscape Scene
A short video clip depicting an open outdoor environment. Detected visual elements include grass, sky, ground, and horizon, consistent with a park or field setting. Additional labels suggest the presence of a flag, a bench, and sunrise lighting conditions.
Location Intelligence
Outdoor Park Scene
An approximately 11-second video capturing an outdoor setting identified as a park. Detected elements include grass, trees (oak, sycamore), plants, and natural scenery alongside architectural features such as an arch, bridge, building, and shelter. A person and urban elements including housing and city labels are also detected, suggesting a park within or adjacent to a city environment.

Common questions before you start
Formats, limits, billing, data handling, and integrations — answered.
- What file formats does Echosaw support?
- Echosaw accepts most common video formats (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM), audio formats (MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, AAC), image formats (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, HEIC), and study documents (PDF, PPTX, TXT, Markdown). If a format is not supported you will see a clear error at upload time.
- Is there a duration or file-size limit?
- Individual files can be up to 5 GB, and documents up to 25 MB. Video and audio can be up to as many minutes as your subscription tier allows. Longer recordings can be split into segments before uploading.
- How does usage-based billing work?
- Your subscription covers the platform: your library and storage, search, Emma, the study and teaching personas, MCP and API access. Everything you have already analyzed stays searchable and usable — grading cards, generating study items, quizzes, tests, and questions to Emma are not metered. Media analysis is the only metered charge, billed per minute of video or audio at your plan's rate. On Starter, a 5-minute video costs 5 × $0.58 = $2.90; the same file as audio-only is 5 × $0.37 = $1.85. The analysis-complete email shows the minutes, rate, and amount for that file; the Billing tab in your Account lists every analysis in the current period with its cost; and the total appears as its own line item on your next monthly invoice alongside the subscription. Documents have no running time, so they count against your plan's monthly document allowance instead. No tokens, no credits, no per-seat fees.
- How is my media stored?
- All uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Files are stored in isolated, access-controlled S3 buckets tied to your account.
- Does Echosaw use my data to train AI models?
- No. Your media and analysis results are never used to train or fine-tune any AI models unless you explicitly opt in.
- Can I connect Echosaw to an AI assistant?
- Yes. The Echosaw remote MCP server at https://mcp.echosaw.com lets AI assistants and developer tools use Echosaw’s media intelligence directly. It uses Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.0 authentication — no local installation or API keys required — and works with clients such as Claude Desktop and Cursor.
- Can AI summarize a video?
- Yes. Echosaw is an AI that summarizes videos from the media itself: it transcribes the audio, reads what is on screen, and writes a timestamped summary you can verify by clicking back to the source. It works as a video summary generator for your own uploads — MP4, MOV, meeting recordings, lectures — not only for public links. If you are asking how to get AI to summarize a video you recorded yourself, or how to summarize a video using AI without uploading it to YouTube first, that is the case Echosaw is built for.
- Can AI summarize a YouTube video?
- Yes. Wondering how to get AI to summarize a YouTube video that has no captions, or how to use AI to summarize a YouTube video in a language you do not speak? Paste the link and Echosaw fetches the video, transcribes the audio itself, and returns a timestamped summary, key moments, and the full transcript. Among AI YouTube video summarizer tools, the difference here is that every line links back to the moment it came from, and you can ask follow-up questions about the video.
- What AI can watch a video and summarize it?
- Echosaw. It is an AI that can watch videos and answer questions about them — the frames, not just the captions. Upload a file or paste a link; the analysis covers speech, on-screen text, objects, and scenes, then Emma, the built-in assistant, answers your questions with the timestamp each answer came from. If you need an AI that watches videos and answers questions from a whole library, not one file, the same search and Q&A run across everything you have uploaded.
- What is the best AI video summarizer?
- It depends on what you are summarizing. We publish a measured comparison of the best AI video summarization tools — six services run on the same 10-minute meeting video, with the harness and raw outputs — at /curated-lists/best-ai-video-transcript-summary-services/. Echosaw ranked first on that rubric, but it is our product, so read the methodology and weigh the columns yourself. The same page is the place to start if you are choosing the best AI for video analysis of private recordings rather than public links.
- Is there a free AI video analyzer?
- You can try the Echosaw AI video analyzer free: your first 3 uploads — video, audio, images, or documents — are analyzed with no subscription, including the transcript, summary, search, and questions, so the same uploads let you use the AI video summarizer free as well. After that, analysis is metered on a plan starting at $9/month. It is free AI video analysis to start, not a free-forever tool, so if you want a free AI research tool to analyze videos indefinitely, this is not that.
- How to share video with AI assistant for analysis?
- Connect the Echosaw remote MCP server (https://mcp.echosaw.com) to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client, then give the assistant a video URL or point it at a file already in your Echosaw library. The assistant calls Echosaw to analyze the video and can then search it, summarize it, and answer questions about it, with timestamps back to the source.
