GVTLabs launches AskGVT to make video content searchable

GVTLabs, founded by InfoSum's Nick Halstead, has emerged from stealth with AskGVT, an AI product that makes video content searchable. The tool allows users to query a creator's video feed and receive text-based answers along with relevant video clips. It differentiates itself by sourcing answers solely from the creator's own videos, preserving their voice and expertise. Creators can offer access to their AskPage via day, week, or monthly passes, control which videos are searchable, and use a Studio for content planning. Enterprise products include GVTLabs Studio, Roster, and Channels for media companies and rights holders to mine their archives for insights or campaign planning. The company has appointed Rhys McLachlan, formerly ITV's Director of Addressable Advertising, as Head of Media Partnerships.
