Edit Mind is a self-hostable, locally-run AI search engine for video libraries that indexes videos with transcription, frame analysis, and multi-model embeddings for natural language search. It combines multiple AI models (Whisper, object detection, facial recognition) with a vector database in a Dockerized stack, offering strong privacy and an interesting approach to video metadata extraction. Its desktop app and active community interest suggest potential for wider adoption among video editors and self-hosters.

Target audience: video editors, content creators, self-hosting enthusiasts, backend devs
