On-device multimodal embedding retrieval for video clips when Descript and Runway require uploads.

Strengths

•On-device embedding and retrieval preserves privacy and avoids GPU-heavy cloud processing
•Compositional models balance semantic alignment, diversity, and temporal structure for clip selection
•Talk-to interface reduces friction compared to timeline-based video editors

Weaknesses

•AI video editing space well-funded with Descript, Runway, and CapCut already established
•Limited details on output quality and editing control compared to professional tools

Post Description

We’re building Hey Aio, an AI assistant that takes footage from your camera roll and turns it into a voiceover or music video in a few minutes, just by talking.

Under the hood, the system combines LLMs for script and lyric writing, custom on-device multimodal embedding models for retrieving candidate clips, and compositional models that select and arrange clips to illustrate the narrative. This involves balancing local and global factors like semantic alignment, diversity, and temporal structure.

We also run embedding and retrieval on-device, so there’s no need to upload your footage, reducing friction, preserving privacy, and avoiding GPU-heavy processing.
