Condé Nast Cuts Video Discovery From 250 Minutes to Under 2 With Amazon Bedrock

A multimodal video discovery solution built on Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Service, developed with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center, to speed up finding clips inside a library of more than 140,000 videos.

According to the source, the editorial team averaged 250 minutes per search task using titles and descriptions alone; after the solution, that dropped to under 2 minutes per task.

The pattern applies to any organization with a large video archive, such as broadcasters, government entities, and publishers, because the architectural components (Bedrock and OpenSearch) are available as managed cloud services and can be adapted to an organization's own data.

Text search relies only on titles and descriptions, which may not reflect actual video content. Multimodal search analyzes the video content itself alongside text, improving result accuracy and reducing the time needed to find the right clip.
