Paralegal
Spends a week scrubbing depositions for one moment.
Public defender
Cannot review every minute of bodycam. Evidence stays hidden.
Journalist · citizen
Council meetings public, but unsearchable. The vote happened somewhere.
Stage 2 of 3 · Why this is hard
LLMs alone can't watch video.
Three things break, every time. The shape of the problem needs a different shape of product.
● LLM alone general-purpose
✗
Cannot watch 4,000 hours. Reads text.
✗
Hallucinates citations. No grounded timestamp.
✗
One modality at a time. Misses video + audio + docs.
✗
No leaderboard accountability.
