Moments Lab teams with AWS

Moments Lab said on April 19 that it is working with Amazon Web Services to help media companies move video archives to the cloud and index them with artificial intelligence. (momentslab.com) The announcement came at the 2026 NAB Show in Las Vegas, which runs April 18-22, where AWS, Moments Lab and Bloomberg Media also appeared on a session about video understanding and semantic search. (momentslab.com) (nabshow.com) Video indexing is the process of turning raw footage into searchable data, so producers can look for a spoken phrase, a face, a logo or a scene instead of scrubbing through hours of tape. Moments Lab said its system uses multimodal artificial intelligence, which reads speech, images and context together, to make archives searchable at the moment level. (aws.amazon.com) (momentslab.com) The companies are pitching that workflow at media groups sitting on large back catalogs that are expensive to migrate and slow to search. Moments Lab said the AWS tie-up uses partner programs, pre-negotiated indexing rates and systems integrators to cut the cost and complexity of archive projects. (momentslab.com) (advanced-television.com) That pitch lands as media companies look for new revenue from old footage, including clipping, licensing and faster repackaging for digital platforms. NewscastStudio reported the partnership is aimed at archive monetization, not just internal search. (newscaststudio.com) (tvnewscheck.com) Moments Lab has been building around that use case for months. In March, the company said it would show new multimodal and agentic artificial intelligence tools at NAB, including a “Discovery Agent” that lets users search a media library with conversational prompts. (tvtechnology.com) The company is not betting on cloud-only workflows. Moments Lab launched Moments Gateway in late 2025 as a bridge between on-premise storage and cloud systems, a sign that some customers still want artificial intelligence search without moving every asset off their own infrastructure. (msn.com) AWS already lists Moments Lab’s platform in AWS Marketplace, where the product description says it can centralize access across archives, live streams and existing systems and add artificial-intelligence metadata at enterprise scale. The new collaboration turns that existing cloud relationship into a more explicit sales push at a moment when broadcasters are deciding which parts of their archive stack belong in the cloud and which stay in-house.
