One page: the two-half architecture (index once with no clock; investigate on demand under a clock); the three index layers (detections/tracks, embeddings in a vector DB, reader descriptions); the cost funnel with the worked 38-billion-frames-to-14-clips arithmetic; the durability and observability spine (LangGraph checkpoints, Temporal-style durable execution for the index, OpenTelemetry GenAI tracing, golden-set evaluation); and the EU AI Act bright-line checklist (objects-and-events default, the real-time biometric prohibition, post-event biometric as high-risk needing judicial authorization, Article 50 disclosure, a built-in human gate, audit trail, and the 2025/2026/2027 dates).

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Real-Time Pipelines and Agents to Serving, Cost, Compliance, and Verticals
This blueprint covers a video archive investigator agent: index once, investigate on demand, three index layers, the cost funnel from 38 billion frames to 14 clips, durability and the EU AI Act checklist. Volume 7 covers this in depth: agents as engineering with loop primitives, memory and tools, serving and cost, and the biometric rules of the EU AI Act. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
