Upload Video Input in AgenticFlow AI

What is an Upload Video Input?

An Upload Video Input is an input component that allows you to upload a video file to the cloud and access it via a temporary URL. This URL can be used in other workflow actions, such as transcribing the video's audio or summarizing the video's content. For security reasons, AgenticFlow AI does not store your file permanently; the provided URL expires within 3 days after upload. Therefore, it is recommended to apply the desired analysis steps right after the upload.

When to Use the Upload Video Input Component

The Upload Video Input component is suitable for scenarios where you need to process a video file. For example, you can upload a recording of a meeting and run it through an LLM to transcribe and summarize the key points discussed during the meeting.
