Turn Courses Into Machine-Readable Intelligence
Search, audit, and update curriculum at scale. Built for Learning Engineering teams.
Learning Intelligence at Scale
Built for production workloads
Every Learning Platform Is Facing the Same Problem
Legacy content systems can't handle the speed of modern technical education
Content Velocity Crisis
Tech changes weeklyPython 3.12, React 19, GPT-4—your courses reference deprecated APIs, outdated libraries, and sunset tools. Manual audits can't keep pace.
Catalog Sprawl
Thousands of hours of lecture video. Weak metadata. Inconsistent tagging. Search that returns 'Introduction to X' 47 times. L&D teams drowning in content they can't navigate.
SME Bottleneck
6-12 month update cyclesEvery content refresh requires booking expensive subject matter experts. By the time you ship the update, the next breaking change is already live.
Student Expectation Gap
Students expect ChatGPT-grade search. You're delivering 2015-era keyword matching. Poor search drives support tickets, platform churn, and NPS erosion.
The Result
of catalog content is stale or outdated
lag between breaking changes and course updates
annual SME cost for manual content maintenance
You need a Learning Intelligence Layer — infrastructure that treats curriculum as structured, queryable, version-controlled data. Not files. Not videos. Intelligence.
Who It's For
Built for teams managing large-scale educational content at speed
Learning Engineering Teams
Build search, personalization, and content intelligence features without reinventing multimodal extraction
Content Tech / Platform Teams
Turn unstructured video, slides, and labs into a structured curriculum graph with audit trails and versioning
Certification Programs
Detect when vendor docs change (AWS, Azure, GCP) and flag outdated exam prep content automatically
Enterprise L&D / Academies
Centralize internal training content (Loom, Zoom recordings, onboarding decks) into a searchable learning warehouse
If you're a VP of Learning Engineering, Content Strategy Lead, or Director of L&D...
...and you've ever said: "We need to make our catalog searchable," or "We can't keep up with content updates," or "We need a curriculum knowledge graph" — this is your infrastructure layer.
What You Can Build
Business outcomes, not features—use cases that open enterprise budgets
Content Freshness Engine
Automatically detect when libraries, APIs, or vendor docs change. Flag outdated lecture segments without manual audits. Surface exact timestamps for SME review.
Taxonomy Alignment
Generate topic maps, skill tags, and learning objective metadata automatically. Build a curriculum graph that shows which lectures cover 'async/await' or 'gradient descent.'
Lecture Segment Search
Enable semantic search across millions of lecture minutes. Students find exact answers in seconds instead of opening support tickets asking 'where is X explained?'
Course Coverage Audits
Prove which topics are covered, how deeply, and where. Answer 'Do we teach Kubernetes networking?' with exact lecture timestamps and slide references.
AI Tutor Grounding Layer
Power LLM-based tutors with retrieval grounded in your actual curriculum. No hallucinations—every answer cites exact lecture moments and slide numbers.
Unified Learning Warehouse
Index Zoom recordings, Loom videos, slide decks, code repos, and PDFs into one searchable system. Replace 5 tools with one intelligence layer.
Before & After
Transform unstructured educational content into precise, queryable segments
Without Mixpeek
Manual timestamping of lecture content
No semantic search across video and slides
Code examples buried in lecture videos
Students scrubbing through 90-minute videos
Separate systems for video, slides, and code
With Mixpeek
Automatic scene detection and transcript alignment
Multi-modal search: "show me where malloc is explained"
Code blocks extracted and semantically indexed
Jump directly to relevant lecture moments
Unified multi-vector retrieval across all content
Example Query: "What is memory allocation in C?"
Transcript: "Memory allocation in C allows you to dynamically request memory from the heap using malloc. This gives you flexibility to allocate exactly the amount of memory you need at runtime..."
Code: char *s = malloc(4); strcpy(s, "hi!");
Course: CS50 2024 - Lecture 4 - Memory
State-of-the-Art Multimodal Processing
Automatically extract, index, and search across video lectures, presentation slides, and code examples
Video Understanding
Whisper ASR with word-level timestamps and scene detection for precise lecture segmentation
Slide Processing
PDF to image conversion with OCR and automatic code block detection from slides
Code Analysis
Multi-language code extraction with import detection and AST hashing
Multi-Vector Retrieval
HyDE query enhancement with reciprocal rank fusion across all modalities
Interactive Retrieval Demo
Search across video, slides, and code simultaneously
Capability Benchmarks
Tested on CS50 Lecture 4 (Memory). These benchmarks measure specific curriculum retrieval capabilities.
NDCG@10
Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain measuring the quality of ranked search results across 10 benchmark queries.
Retrieval Latency
End-to-end retrieval time including multi-vector search and fusion across all content modalities.
Recall@50
Percentage of all relevant content segments successfully retrieved in the top 50 results.
These benchmarks test specific curriculum retrieval capabilities. With production models (BGE-M3, Whisper), metrics would improve by 10-15%.
Architecture
Multi-modal extraction, embedding, and retrieval pipeline
4-5 independent embeddings per segment for better retrieval accuracy
Temporal alignment of visual and audio content
Combine rankings from multiple vector types
Why Standard RAG Falls Short
Educational content requires specialized multi-modal processing
Temporal Misalignment
LLMs can't understand when specific concepts appear in 90-minute lectures
Scene detection with word-level timestamps ensures precise temporal alignment
Multi-Modal Context Loss
Code shown on slides + explained in audio gets lost in single-vector search
Multi-vector representation maintains separate embeddings for each modality
Code Semantic Understanding
General LLMs lack deep understanding of code imports, APIs, and structure
Specialized code embeddings (StarCoder/SFR) with AST analysis
Vague Query Handling
Student queries like 'memory stuff' don't match exact transcript text
HyDE generates hypothetical explanations to improve query-content matching
The Result
Better retrieval vs single-vector
Multi-vector fusion latency
Scene-transcript alignment
