Shofo - Common Crawl for Videos
Shofo is building the largest index of short-form videos
TL;DR
Shofo builds complete pipelines that collect, segment, sanitize, and label videos from across social media to curate custom datasets for AI labs.
❌ The Problem
AI labs need massive video datasets, but high-quality, segmented video data is hard to access.
✅ Our Solution
We started by building the largest index of short-form videos. Then we run an end-to-end pipeline that sanitizes and applies object and activity detection, reasoning, and segmentation to produce custom training datasets for AI labs.
For example, if a lab needs 50k cooking videos featuring hand-object interactions, We query our index, run the results through our labeling pipeline, and deliver a clean, annotated dataset.
