Search Scopes


Playable Evidence

Every search result includes playable proof:

Search across visual and spoken content:
  • Union - Broader recall (results from any index)
  • Intersection - Higher precision (matches in all indexes)

Best Practices

  1. Be specific in prompts - “Identify safety violations” beats “describe what you see”
  2. Use specific queries - “red car entering lot” beats “car”
  3. Verify with playback - Always validate with shot.play()
  4. Create focused indexes - One index per question or domain
