Coactive makes it easy to search, filter, and analyze visual content. Increasingly image and video data captures the content we watch, the products we buy, and the work we do, and already represents 80% of internet traffic. But rather than being an asset, visual content is often a tax or even a liability because it is so hard to work with and understand. Coactive solves this by bringing structure to unstructured visual data. Rather than spending months (or years) building complex infrastructure, data teams can unlock the value of their visual data in minutes to power use cases such as content understanding and moderation, search, and analytics.
Coactive was founded by experts who shaped the fields of high-performance deep learning and data-centric AI. We have the scars from building and working with the first generation of modern machine learning systems at Google, Meta, Pinterest, eBay, Lyft, and other leading organizations. Through our decades of experience, we have developed a playbook to democratize the toughest parts of machine learning systems; no PhD required.

What We Do
At Coactive AI, we are empowering data practitioners and data-driven teams to unlock insights in unstructured image and video data. This visual data increasingly captures everyday life from our online experiences on e-commerce sites and social media to guiding the cars we drive and monitoring the plants we eat. By 2021, unstructured visual data will be more than 82% of all internet traffic. We make this unstructured visual data useful by bringing it into the world of SQL and the big data tools that teams already love.
