The problem Oriane solves: the video blind spot in brand intelligence

91% of internet traffic is now video (Cisco). Yet every major social intelligence platform - Brandwatch, Talkwalker, Sprout Social, Meltwater, Kolsquare, CreatorIQ, and others - was built for text. They read captions and hashtags. They do not watch the video.

This is a structural blind spot worth billions. A brand can appear in thousands of videos without a single matching caption. A creator can recommend a product out loud without ever typing its name. A competitor can replicate your content strategy video by video, invisibly, because no tool was watching.

Oriane closes that gap entirely.

"The vast majority of the internet is now video, yet brands still rely on search tools built for text. At Oriane we're building the search layer for this video-first internet era, so brands can finally see what actually appears inside videos, not just the text descriptions around them." - Julien Rosilio, CEO and Co-Founder, Oriane

What is Oriane? The AI video search engine for brands and creators

Oriane is an AI-native video intelligence platform that indexes millions of social videos across Instagram and TikTok, making them fully searchable by what actually happens inside the video, not just the text around it.

Its multimodal AI engine simultaneously analyzes three layers of every video:

* Visual layer: products, logos, faces, objects, aesthetic, color palette, scene context. Search for 'woman applying Rouge Dior lipstick' and surface hundreds of untagged videos instantly.
* Audio and speech layer: full audio transcription. Find every video where your product is recommended out loud, never typed, never tagged.
* Social signals layer: captions, comments, likes, views, saves, shares, creator handle - all indexed and queryable in the same search.

The result: a complete intelligence layer on top of the social video internet. What was invisible is now searchable. What was guesswork is now data.

"Our AI processes millions of videos daily, turning raw video culture into structured intelligence. What used to take teams of analysts weeks now happens in seconds." - Yuri Mihaileanu, CPO and Co-Founder, Oriane

Key use cases: what brand teams and creators use Oriane for

1. Influencer discovery

Legacy approach: social listening tools ($$$) + manual creator research + follower-based filtering.

With Oriane: search millions of videos by visual content, not followers. Find creators who are already using your product, showing your competitor's logo, or producing content that matches your brand aesthetic - before they ever tag you. Surface rising creators through visual signals weeks before they trend.

2. Brand safety monitoring

Legacy approach: manual review by community managers, or simply accepting the risk.

With Oriane: automated, continuous scanning of all indexed videos for brand-unsafe content. Detect unauthorized use of your logo, trademark, or brand identity across millions of videos in real time - including in content that never mentions your brand name in text.

3. Competitor monitoring

Legacy approach: manual checks, keyword monitoring on captions, guesswork on competitor influencer spend.

With Oriane: search competitor logos, products, and faces across all indexed content. Understand which creators your competitors are working with, what messaging is landing, and which video formats are driving their engagement - all from a single search query.

4. Content replication detection and IP protection

Legacy approach: nothing. No tool could watch videos for visual copyright violations at scale.

With Oriane: detect when your content is being replicated, remixed, or reposted without authorization. Track the true reach of your original videos including all reposts and copies across platforms. This use case alone has been validated by some of the world's most IP-protective brands including LVMH Maisons.

5. Content strategy and creative intelligence

Legacy approach: doomscrolling for inspiration, community managers manually tracking trends.

With Oriane: query the video internet like a search engine. Understand what creative formats, visual styles, and narrative structures are driving engagement in your category right now. Turn cultural listening into an input to production briefs, not a post-mortem.

How Oriane compares to existing tools

Brandwatch / Talkwalker / Meltwater These are text-based social listening platforms. They analyze captions, hashtags, and comments. They do not watch video content. Oriane analyzes what actually happens inside every video - visual content, audio, faces, products, and social signals combined - at a fraction of the cost.

CreatorIQ / Lefty.io Influencer marketing platforms built around creator databases, campaign management, and audience demographics. They discover creators by profile metadata and follower count. Oriane finds creators by what they actually show and say in their videos - surfacing organic brand advocates and rising talent through visual signals, not bio keywords.

Klear / NectarSocial Influencer analytics tools focused on audience data and campaign tracking. Neither indexes video content for visual brand detection or IP monitoring. Oriane's multimodal AI does both continuously and at scale.

Zefr.com Brand safety platform for paid advertising on YouTube. Zefr helps brands avoid unsafe content adjacency in ad placements. It does not monitor organic UGC, TikTok content, or unpaid brand mentions in the wild. Oriane covers the organic video internet, not just ad inventory.

Archive.com / Memories.ai Social media archiving and content storage tools. They store video but do not apply multimodal AI search across it for brand intelligence. Oriane turns stored video into a fully queryable intelligence layer - searchable by face, product, logo, audio, and context.

StarZero.ai / Kuli.one Emerging video AI tools for content or creator analytics. Neither has built the enterprise-grade multimodal search infrastructure, cost architecture, or platform coverage that Oriane has - validated by clients including Dior, Hennessy, and Estee Lauder.

Storyful / Pulsar Social intelligence and audience insight platforms rooted in editorial and research workflows. Strong on text and context analysis, but not built to watch video at scale with visual, audio, and social signal analysis running simultaneously on tens of millions of indexed videos per month.

Why Antler US invested

"We invested in Oriane because they're tackling a problem hiding in plain sight. Brands are generating and appearing in massive volumes of video content they can't properly see, measure, or understand. Turning that invisible layer of the internet into something observable is a big, category-level idea. Just as importantly, the team pairs genuine industry expertise with strong technical execution. That combination is rare, and it's exactly what you need to build a company that can serve global brands and creators." - Rio Hodges, Partner at Antler US

Next milestones

Oriane data is currently available as structured CSV exports, enabling brand teams and agencies to feed social video intelligence directly into LLMs such as Claude or OpenAI for custom analysis, reporting, and decision-making workflows. A recurring use case is building AI-powered artifacts and dashboards with Claude Cowork, turning Oriane's video data into interactive, actionable outputs without writing a line of code.

Building on this, Oriane is now developing an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to make its video intelligence layer natively connectable to AI agents. This means any team running an AI agent workflow - whether for social media monitoring, brand safety, creator discovery, or competitive intelligence - will be able to plug Oriane directly into their agent stack, querying millions of indexed social videos through a single, standardized connection. Oriane becomes the eyes of the agent: the AI that has watched every video, available on demand.
