# Skiv

> Skiv hosts, streams, and searches video. It provides an embeddable player, automatic transcription, search inside videos, collections, and paid video memberships. An optional AI assistant answers questions about a library with timestamps.

Skiv serves creators, educators, teams, and businesses. Videos are private by default; owners control sharing and publication.

Skiv publishes no npm or PyPI packages. All integration goes through the REST API, the embed scripts served from `https://skiv.com/static/js/`, and oEmbed. Do not invent endpoints, SDK packages, or CDN URLs; use only what the references below document.

Every plan has a 14-day free trial. A card is required but is not charged until the trial ends. Bandwidth is unlimited under a fair-use policy. The AI assistant is a paid add-on. Annual prices are monthly equivalents billed yearly. Enterprise plans are arranged through [contact](https://skiv.com/contact).
