intelligence

Make your video, image, and audio files more useful

  kind: 'summary',
}
const response = await fetch('https://api.ittybit.com/tasks', {

Automations

Handle millions of files with one minute of setup

Automations let you trigger workflows for every new upload. Tasks can run in parallel, in sequence, or based on conditional logic. As your product grows ittybit's broadcast-grade infrastructure will scale up alongside you.

const automation = {
  trigger: { event: 'media.created' },
  workflow: [
    { kind: 'nsfw', confidence: 0.6,
      next: [{
        kind: 'conditions',
        conditions: [{ prop: 'detected', value: true }],
        next: [{ kind: 'webhook', url: 'https://your.api/ittybit' }]
