Recipe Book is a video data platform where you can semantically search 25M+ clips, iterate on the results, and buy the exact dataset you need to train your model in one sitting. Search -> rate a few clips -> we train a probe on your votes to re-rank the whole catalog to your taste. No contact forms, no sales calls, $3/hour.

@braiden_dishman1 Congrats on shipping this. The volume of data processed is impressive

@dmitrii_volosatov Thanks Dimitrii! More data is on the way
the search-then-buy flow is clever, but the thing i'd want answered before using this commercially is rights, not workflow. "publicly available" and "cleared for training a model you're going to sell" are two very different bars, and that gap is exactly what's driving a bunch of the current lawsuits against scrapers. is there any licensing/consent layer behind the 25M clips, or is it on the buyer to figure out whether a given clip is actually safe to train on?

@omri_ben_shoham1 Hey Omri, when we collect data we do so in a way that does not require logins, agreeing to TOS, creating fake accounts, etc. Our bar for collection methods is quite high and our approach is supported by public data case law. There are terms on RecipeBook's website that provide a bit more detail as well as a takedown form if that's helpful!
@omri_ben_shoham1 @braiden_dishman1 appreciate the direct answer, but I think it sidesteps the actual question. "we didn't need a login to get it" is a defense of how the data was collected, not a defense of what the buyer is allowed to do with it afterward. those are genuinely separate legal questions, and a takedown form only helps the original creator, it doesn't tell me, the buyer, whether the dataset I just bought is safe to train a commercial model on without getting pulled into someone else's lawsuit later. is there anything in the terms that actually indemnifies the buyer, or does the risk sit entirely on whoever purchases the hours

@omri_ben_shoham1 @galdayan Self serve purchases don't come with indemnity coverage. Downstream risk sits with the buyer. (Similar structure most data providers use) On larger deals we can negotiate custom contracts with different reps and discuss indemnity. If you're interested happy to have that conversation.
@omri_ben_shoham1 @braiden_dishman1 appreciate the straight answer, that's more honest than most vendors would give. but it points at an odd shape: the buyers who can afford to negotiate a custom contract with indemnity are the ones who could probably absorb the legal risk anyway, and the self-serve buyer, the solo dev or small team paying $15-480/hour, is the one least equipped to deal with a downstream claim and also the one stuck with zero coverage by default. is a self-serve indemnified tier ever on the roadmap, or is the plan to keep that protection sales-gated indefinitely
Searched for a tricky cooking motion I'd been hunting for and the re-rank after a few votes actually nailed it. The no-sales-call, pay-by-hour setup is refreshing.
