Understand Every Frame. Deliver in Real Time.
Fifth Layer is the engine that lets you work with what's inside your video and audio. Generate captions, detect content violations, analyse sentiment and use AI to understand patterns - all in real time. No heavy engineering required.
Working With Media Shouldn't Require an Army of Engineers
Thousands of Hours on Plumbing
Teams spend months building brittle integrations, format converters, and streaming infrastructure just to get started - before delivering any real value.
Fragmented Tech Stacks
Working with media means juggling multiple APIs, cloud services, AI models and databases - all held together with custom code that breaks.
Missed Monetisation Opportunities
Your media assets hold valuable insights and revenue potential, but complexity locks them away - too slow and expensive to extract.
Fifth Layer's Approach
Fifth Layer is your media processing engine. Ingest audio, video and streams - then transcribe, analyze, transform and deliver. We handle all the complexity, timing and scale. You build workflows visually and ship value in hours, not months.
Zero-Code Visual Workflows
Build complex media pipelines visually without writing code
AI Orchestration Built-In
Connect LLMs, speech models and computer vision with simple blocks
Real-Time at Scale
Process live streams, recordings and broadcasts with carrier-grade reliability
Unlock Revenue Faster
Turn media assets into monetisable intelligence in minutes, not months
See How Fifth Layer Works
Fifth Layer gives you a simple way to design what happens to your streams. No code required.
Design What Happens
This is where you design what happens to your streams.
Pick blocks like listen, analyse, save or alert and place them in the order you want.
Fifth Layer connects the blocks for you and keeps everything running in the right sequence, every time.
Watch It Live
You can see what's happening in real time.
Watch executions, see summaries, check for problems, and confirm everything is working.
No guessing. You see exactly what Fifth Layer is doing.
How It Works
Three steps to transform your media operations
Ingest & Normalise
Connect live streams (HLS/RTP), files, feeds, APIs and databases. Parse, segment and enrich on the way in.
Orchestrate with Agentic AI
Chain operators and agents (STT, vision, summarisation, routing, actions). Use policies to adapt in real time.
Operate & Deliver
Deliver processed content and insights directly to your business systems. From CMS and archives to analytics dashboards.
Media Use Cases
Real-world solutions for broadcast, streaming, publishers, radio, sports, and newsrooms
Live News Clipping & Transcription
Ingest live HLS, detect ad breaks, transcribe speech, and generate verified summaries in real time.
Faster turnaround for web, social and on-air captions.
Sports Highlights & Moment Detection
Detect plays, logos and crowd sentiment; auto-assemble highlight reels with timestamps.
Minutes to publish, higher engagement.
Compliance & Brand Safety
Scene/keyword/face detection, profanity flags and age-appropriateness checks with human-in-the-loop review.
Reduced takedowns and regulatory risk.
Podcast/Radio STT + Chaptering
High-accuracy STT, diarisation and topic segmentation; auto-generate chapters and show notes.
Better SEO and discoverability.
Archive Enrichment & Search
Batch process archives for entities, topics and events; push rich metadata into DAM/MAM.
New monetisation from legacy content.
Ad & Sponsorship Intelligence
Logo/product placement detection and competitive tracking across channels.
Evidence-based sales and pricing.
