A Multimodal Data Layer Your Warehouse Can Join On

The Problem

What Text-First Ingestion Costs You

If you blend external market signals with internal 1st-party datasets (transaction histories, ERP logs, CRM profiles) and 3rd-party datasets (supply chain tracking, firmographic feeds), a text-first pipeline breaks in three places:

  • Two Indexes That Disagree

    Push video and imagery through a text-first store and you maintain two indexes, two query paths with different latency profiles, and deduplication that never works out an image and a video clip came from the same post.

  • Entities Too Coarse to Join

    A text-only pipeline can't read what's in the frame, so it writes generic labels into your warehouse instead of specific entities. Nothing lands precise enough to key a join against your 1st- and 3rd-party tables.

  • The Model Fills the Gap by Guessing

    When the visual signal never arrives, the model infers it from training weights. Those inferences become rows in your warehouse, and every dashboard downstream inherits them with nothing marking which values were guessed.

The Blueprint

One Pipeline, One Index

The Graph Service API opens direct access to the raw data engine. Here's how to wire it into a trend-monitoring pipeline:

  1. 01

    Multi-Dataset Entity Resolution

    Text, image, and video share one vector space with the same dimensionality, so a single query spans all three. Map the nodes it returns straight onto your 1st-party inventory tables — a trending visual concept to a physical SKU.

  2. 02

    Normalize Cross-Modal Similarity

    Text-to-video lookups return systematically lower cosine similarity than within-modal ones, so a fixed threshold quietly drops good matches. Retrieval normalizes scores within the candidate set, so one threshold holds across modalities.

  3. 03

    Load It Into Your Warehouse

    The corpus your queries run against:

    • 15B+ Multimodal Vector Space

      For cross-modal lookups.

    • 500M+ Enriched Metadata Points

      Granular, platform-native data.

    • 100M+ Core Records

      Baseline record corpus.
