Wasabi Technologies has announced its acquisition of Curio AI from GrayMeta. The deal includes the intellectual property and the team behind Curio, including GrayMeta CEO Aaron Edell, who will join Wasabi as SVP of AI and machine learning.
Wasabi offers unlimited cloud storage for businesses to instantly store and access their frequently accessed data. The company plans to incorporate Curio technology into a new AI-powered intelligent storage solution for the media and entertainment industry, set to be released in spring 2024.
The acquisition of Curio AI will enable Wasabi to use AI to generate metadata for media libraries. This will allow editors and producers to quickly search video stored in Wasabi and retrieve specific media segments based on criteria like people, places, events, emotions, logos, landmarks and background audio.
