Deepgrip vs Axle AI.
A search layer or a new MAM.

Axle AI is a media asset manager with AI built in, suited to teams that want one system for storage, editing handoff and tagging. Deepgrip is the search and answer layer for archives held in Indian languages, and it sits over the storage and MAM you already have. The two solve different problems.

Choose Deepgrip if

The problem is finding things in an archive you already hold

You have decades of footage across NAS, tape and a MAM, much of it in Indian languages, and your teams cannot find what is in it. You want to search by meaning, get answers with the timestamp of the moment, and build compilations, without replacing the systems you already run.

Choose Axle AI if

You need a new MAM with editing integrations

You are choosing a media asset manager and want storage, tagging and handoff to Avid, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve in one system, on premises or in the cloud. Axle AI is built for that.

Axle AI vs Deepgrip — common questions

Is Deepgrip a replacement for Axle AI?

Not usually. Axle AI can be the media asset manager itself. Deepgrip is a search and answer layer that works alongside the MAM and storage you already have. Some teams use a MAM and add Deepgrip for Indian-language search.

Which one is better for Indian-language archives?

Deepgrip is built for them: 23 Indian languages and English, with mixed-language speech handled. Axle AI does not state its supported languages on its site, so ask it directly for the languages in your archive.

Can both run on our own premises?

Yes. Deepgrip runs on Deepgrip cloud or on your own premises. Axle AI lists on-premise, private cloud and hosted cloud options.
