← All use cases 02 · VIDEO AND MEDIA · PROPOSED WORKFLOW

Ask a video a question. Find the relevant moment.

Use maintained transcripts and chapters before repeating costly video interpretation.

Who this is for: Training teams, content publishers, customers and learners. Illustrative concept, not a deployed OSYNIA capability.

01 · START WITH THE PROBLEM

What problem are we trying to solve?

Someone needs one answer from a 40-minute tutorial but does not know where it appears.

Relevant contracts: OSYNIA-R media semantics, optional OSYNIA-D discovery and OSYNIA-E accessible representations.

EXAMPLE USER REQUEST

“Where does the training video explain how to reset my password?”

BEFORE · COMMON APPROACH

The visitor scrubs through the video or watches the entire recording.
Another application might transcribe and analyse the same video again.
An answer may lack a verifiable timestamp or version.

WITH OSYNIA · PROPOSED

The video publisher maintains a transcript and chapter index associated with a source version.
A simple question uses deterministic text and chapter search.
The answer links to the relevant timestamp and cites the maintained description.
Only ambiguous or complex questions optionally use an AI model over selected evidence.

02 · STEP-BY-STEP USER JOURNEY

From request to a verifiable outcome.

Switch between General and Technical in the header to explore the same journey at two levels.

Publish video knowledge

The video includes searchable text, chapters and descriptions alongside playback.

Publish timed text segments and chapter resources linked to an immutable video asset revision.

Illustrative output

Transcript and chapter list for tutorial version 3

Understand the question

The system identifies the topic: password reset.

Resolve query terms and intent against tagged concepts and the transcript index.

Illustrative output

Topic match: account recovery

Locate the evidence

A search finds the section that discusses the request.

Run lexical or semantic segment lookup; retain timecode and source version.

Illustrative output

Matching segment: 18:20–20:10

Answer and navigate

The visitor receives a short explanation and a link to jump to the right part of the video.

Return a grounded answer with media URI, segment IDs, citations and playable time range.

Illustrative output

Answer with timestamped source link

Escalate only when needed

If the question needs interpretation, AI may help using only the relevant parts.

Invoke optional model reasoning over selected versioned segments; separate model inference from source assertions.

Illustrative output

Optional AI answer clearly labelled as interpreted

03 · RESPONSE & OUTCOME

What would the person see?

ILLUSTRATIVE SYSTEM RESPONSE

“Password reset is covered at 18:20. Open that section or read its step-by-step transcript.”

ILLUSTRATIVE COMPLETION

Example completion: the visitor reaches the relevant verified section without rewatching the entire tutorial.

A proposed success message must be backed by actual execution and verification in a real implementation.

04 · UNDER THE HOOD

How the proposed technology fits together.

This example depends on information that explains what it is, trusted links to other information, and clearly described operations when an action is needed.

What must be in place:

The publisher must provide or approve searchable timed text.
The player must support timestamp navigation.
The answer must distinguish source text from AI interpretation.

Resources: Video asset, transcript segments, chapter metadata and topic entities
Contracts: OSYNIA-R media semantics, optional OSYNIA-D discovery and OSYNIA-E accessible representations

05 · REAL-WORLD VALIDATION

How would we know it works?

These are proposed measures, not published results.

Time to answer

Median seconds to locate a correct segment

Grounding accuracy

Answers with correct timestamps and valid source evidence

Inference use

AI calls and tokens per completed search task

Requirements for adoption

The publisher must provide or approve searchable timed text.
The player must support timestamp navigation.
The answer must distinguish source text from AI interpretation.

Limits and trade-offs

Transcripts may contain mistakes and must be corrected.
Some questions still need contextual reasoning.
Video streaming bandwidth does not disappear.
