A cashier helps a customer, with NVIDIA GenAI providing real-time insights on a holographic screen in a retail store.

NVIDIA has just announced an exciting update to its NVIDIA AI Blueprint—a framework specifically designed to streamline the creation of AI-powered agents. Now, this framework will support agents capable of analyzing video and image content in real time 📹✨


Why This Matters: From Video Monitoring to Real-Time Video Search and Insights


This new NVIDIA GenAI capability marks a shift from basic real-time video monitoring to interactive video search and dynamic insights, paving the way for increased business efficiency, productivity, and enhanced security 🕵️‍♂️. Let me use a retail store to show an example of how AI in video analytics is evolving: 


1 - Basic CCTV cameras

Traditional cameras in retail stores were observational tools, requiring security teams to manually review footage, which often identified issues only after they occurred;


2 - AI video analytics

stores then adopted intelligent video analytics to monitor foot traffic, detect shoplifting patterns, and recognize crowded areas in real time. This was a major leap, allowing the AI to identify predefined objects or behaviors and alert staff immediately. However, it was still limited to specific tasks and couldn’t dynamically adapt to changing needs or questions;


3 - Visual AI agents

The latest leap involves Visual AI Agents powered by Vision Language Models (VLMs) 🤖. These agents can answer complex, dynamic questions, going beyond static monitoring. For example, a store manager could ask, “Where are customers spending the most time today?” or “Are customers interacting with the new seasonal display?” Visual AI Agents analyze video in real time, offering actionable insights into customer behavior and product engagement 🛍️📈.

How NVIDIA GenAI Framework Works

NVIDIA’s Visual AI agents leverage advanced AI to provide real-time, interactive insights that were previously impossible with standard video monitoring. This breakthrough is set to transform not only retail but a variety of sectors that rely on video analysis. Below is an example of how it works.
