Video and images # Answers from what's shown, not just what's said ReadyIntelligence reads the slides, charts and diagrams in your webinars, recordings and reports, matches them to what was said, and takes people to the exact minute the answer came from.

[**04One knowledge base**Same search, citations and permissions](#video-4) 01 ## A transcript only captures what was said When a presenter says “as you can see in Figure 2”, the transcript records the sentence and the figure itself disappears. That gap is where a lot of an association's hardest-to-replace knowledge sits. - Numbers shown on slides never reach the transcript - Charts in benchmarking reports and salary surveys can't be searched - Years of webinar recordings nobody has time to watch back 02 ## How it works Every recording and report goes through the same steps as it's added to your knowledge base, so what was shown becomes as searchable as what was said. - Transcribes the audio - Pulls out the unique frames: each new slide, chart or diagram - Reads each frame with a vision-capable AI model - Ties what was shown to what was being said at that moment - Splits the recording into chapters by topic, so answers cite the exact minute 03 ## It reads what people actually show The model works from the chart itself, the bars, axis labels and trend line, rather than relying on whatever the speaker happened to say about it. - Bar and line charts, with their labels and values - Diagrams and process flows, where the direction of an arrow matters - Tables and slides - A photo of a chart taken on a phone, not just a clean export Content it unlocks - Webinar and conference recordings - Benchmarking and salary surveys - Advocacy tracking and legislative scorecards - Slide decks and state-of-the-sector reports 04 ## Part of the knowledge base you already have Video and images feed the same knowledge base, search and permissions as your documents and web pages. There's no separate system to build. - Answers cite the recording and the exact minute, or the report and the slide - The same permissions apply, so people only see what they're allowed to - Use it in staff assistants for research and reporting, and in member assistants for content you choose to share - Recordings sync from Vimeo, cloud storage or direct upload ## Questions about video and images Can ReadyIntelligence read the charts and slides inside a recording, not just the audio? Yes. A vision-capable AI model reads a chart or diagram the way it reads a paragraph, working from the bars, axis labels and trend line directly rather than from what the speaker said about it. It also copes with less tidy material, such as an off-angle phone photo of a chart. How does an answer point to the right part of a video? Recordings are split into chapters by topic, and each slide or chart on screen is tied to what was being said at that moment. So instead of telling you the answer is somewhere in a 90-minute session, the assistant cites the minutes it came from and takes you straight there. Does reading video and images need a separate system? No. Video, slides and images are another way of feeding sources into the same knowledge base, search and permissions as your documents and web pages, with no separate development work. Which content benefits most? Anything where the meaning is in what's shown: webinar and conference recordings, benchmarking and salary surveys, advocacy tracking reports, legislative scorecards and state-of-the-sector studies. These are often chart-heavy, valuable and, until now, only findable by someone who remembers roughly where a number is.
