Storj and Axle AI launch joint availability of Axle AI Platform at IBC

Axle AI's Platform software allows media teams to transparently search and reuse their cloud-based assets in a secure fashion, at a fraction of the price of other services on the market. Aimed at any organization managing large amounts of media – such as a broadcast network, film studio or corporate video team – this software layer makes it easier to quickly upload, search and download the assets containing key content stored with Storj.

Along with media searchability, the Axle AI Platform provides the following features:

1. Integrated multi-language transcription with language auto-detect


2. Face recognition of over 5,000 global celebrities

3. Object recognition of over 1,200 objects

4. Logo recognition of over 300 global logos


5. Optical Character Recognition for searching onscreen text


6. H.264 proxy generation supporting playback in a browser front end


7. Browser-based user interface for searching AI analysis and user tags

8. Sophisticated browser-based review and approval tools


9. Browser-based video editing with multitrack support


10. Connectivity with Adobe Premiere Pro CC for direct placement of assets and sequences in the Premiere timeline.

Sam Bogoch, CEO of Axle AI, says:

“We created this highly integrated solution out of necessity - as media usage has grown, cloud storage has become almost impossible to search for video teams. Furthermore, there’s increasing demand for private instances of cloud storage and software, rather than the centralized approach where assets are managed homogeneously by a single, large vendor.

Colby Winegar, CEO at Storj, says:
“Media teams today face an explosion of content and an urgent need to access it instantly, from anywhere. By integrating Axle AI’s search and analysis capabilities with our distributed cloud storage, we’re enabling secure, high-performance workflows without the cost or constraints of traditional cloud providers. This partnership makes it easier than ever for creative teams to find, work with, and deliver their media at global scale.”

The Axle AI Platform is being released at IBC 2025. The Axle AI Platform is a fundamentally open architecture that leverages state of the art AI capabilities including vector embeddings, as well as features such as in-browser editing and workflow automation. With this technology, it’s possible to not only provide breakthrough search solutions, but also incorporate further search and processing tools from a variety of partners.
