Search in plain English
Type what you want to see, the way you would ask a colleague. Narrow it down by site, project, date or who recorded it.
Video search for job sites and field teams
Every site video, searchable.
Wildflower turns hours of site walks, inspections and technician footage into a search engine. Type what you need to see, like "dataplate on the rooftop unit", and jump straight to the second it appears.
Searches what was said, what was written on screen and what the camera saw. Your original videos stay in your own storage.

Search
Ask in plain English. Get the exact moment.
Folders and filenames tell you which video. Wildflower tells you where in it. Every result is a moment: a 10 to 60 second clip with a thumbnail, the time it starts and the reason it matched.
Ask for the serial number on the chiller and you get the frame that shows it, even if nobody read it out loud.

What it does
Search footage by what it shows, not what it is called.
One search box covers everything in the video: the words, the text on screen and the picture itself.
Ask
Read
Reads text on screen
Serial numbers, dataplates, asset tags, gauges and signs are read straight from the video, so you can search for them.
Listen
Hears what was said
Every word spoken is transcribed, so the narration on a site walk is searchable too.
See
Recognises what is in frame
Find a ladder, a cracked slab or a rooftop unit even when nobody said a word about it.
Play
Opens at the right second
Click a result and the video plays from the start of that moment. No more scrubbing through hours of footage.
Cite
Shows why it matched
Each result says whether it matched the speech, the on-screen text or the picture, so you can trust it in a dispute.
Use cases
Built for the questions that cost money.
Warranty disputes, rework claims, insurance evidence, safety reviews and onboarding all come down to one job: find the moment that shows it.
Claims
Warranty claims and disputes
Pull the clip that shows the loading dock ceiling before June 1, with the file and timestamp to back it up.
Assets
Equipment and asset lookup
Show the dataplate on the chiller at the Fremont plant and read the serial number off the frame.
Verify

Check whether the crew torque-sealed the flange bolts on the P-104 job without watching the whole day.
Construction
What is behind the wall
See the electrical rough-in in zone B before the drywall went up, from the site walk recorded that week.
Train

Why Wildflower
Transcripts miss what the camera saw.
Most answers on a job site are visual. Here is what each way of searching video can and cannot find.

| Find words someone said out loud | No | Yes | Yes |
| Find a serial number shown on screen | No | No | Yes |
| Find an object nobody mentioned | No | No | Yes |
| Land on the exact moment, not the whole file | No | Yes | Yes |
| Show which signal matched, as evidence | No | No | Yes |
How it works
Connect, index, search, play.
01 / connect
Point it at your footage
A folder, a drive or an S3-compatible bucket. Wildflower reads each video once and leaves the original where it is.
02 / index
Split into moments
Each video is cut into 10 to 60 second moments where the scene or the speech changes. Each moment gets its transcript, its on-screen text and a visual fingerprint.
03 / search
Ask a question
Speech, text and visual matches are combined, then an AI model re-ranks the best ones by looking at the frame and the words around it.
04 / play
Jump to the answer
Results arrive as timestamped thumbnails with the reason each one matched. Click one and the player opens at that second.

FAQ
Questions people ask.
What is Wildflower?
Wildflower is a search engine for your company's video. It indexes site walks, inspection recordings, helmet-cam and phone footage, and lets anyone find the exact moment that shows what they are looking for by typing a question in plain English.
What kinds of video does it work with?
The footage your teams already record: construction site walks, service and repair jobs, equipment commissioning, inspections and training recordings. Common formats such as MP4, MOV and AVI work.
How is it different from transcript search?
Transcript tools only find words someone said out loud. Most answers on a job site are visual: a gauge reading, a serial number on a dataplate, a crack, the state of a wall before it was closed. Wildflower searches the picture and the on-screen text as well as the speech.
Can it read serial numbers and dataplates?
Yes. Text that appears in the video, such as dataplates, asset tags, gauges and signs, is read and indexed, so searching for a model or serial number finds the frame that shows it.
Do I need to tag or organise my videos first?
No. Point Wildflower at the folder or bucket where the footage already lives. It splits each video into short moments and indexes them on its own.
Does my video leave my storage?
The original files are read once and never copied or moved. Wildflower stores thumbnails, text and a search index. To rank results, it sends a thumbnail and the nearby transcript of the top matches to an AI model.
Who is Wildflower for?
Service and operations managers, project engineers and senior technicians at field service contractors, construction firms and industrial service companies: anyone who needs to find proof in recorded footage.
How do I get access, and what does it cost?
Wildflower is in a pilot with a small group of design partners. We index a real slice of your archive with you and agree pricing with each partner. Searches are never metered, so your team can search as often as it needs to.
