Insert your content once, then match it against files,
live streams, and archives in near real time.
Match content even when the soundtrack is identical across creatives. Emy fingerprints both audio and video frames, and can search them together in a single query.
Learn MoreEmy discovers new ads on its own by spotting content that repeats across your monitored streams. Discovered ads are tagged automatically with advertiser and brand metadata using AI.
Learn MoreInsert tracks, register streams, and query media files with plain cURL or the .NET client. Matches are reported in near real time, with exact coverage details for every result.
Learn MoreRun Emy as a single Docker container on your own infrastructure. Your content and fingerprints never leave your servers, and there are no per-query fees.
Learn MoreOne Docker command. The backoffice UI ships in the same container.
Audio or video, via the backoffice, the JSON API, or the .NET client.
Files, URLs, or live streams — matched with exact coverage.
Point Emy at broadcast streams and it builds an ads catalog on its own. New creatives are discovered as repeating content, and AI tags each one with advertiser and brand.
Learn MoreTrack where and when your content airs on radio and TV. Start in seconds with the built-in radio directory — thousands of stations, searchable by country and genre, ready to monitor with one click — or register your own stream URLs.
Learn MoreDetect repeating and duplicate content across large media archives. Emy reports exact match coverage, so you can gate inserts on overlap.
Learn MoreQuery with short snippets — five seconds of audio is enough. Build recognition features, sync second-screen experiences, or trigger actions whenever known content plays.
Learn MoreThe catalog builds itself from what airs. No tagging teams.
Ads repeat. Emy spots the same content airing again across your streams and captures every new creative on its own.
Repeats collapse into one creative, with every airing logged — station, time, and match coverage.
AI names the advertiser and brand, and enriches each creative with transcript-derived metadata.
Hundreds of new creatives are discovered and tagged every day in production.

The same engine is available to run on your own hardware.
An honest comparison with the alternatives you are probably evaluating.
| Emy | Third-party cloud APIs | DIY with embeddings | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Your infrastructure — content never leaves your servers | Vendor cloud — you upload your media | Your infrastructure |
| Pricing model | Flat license, no per-query fees | Metered per query or per monitored hour | Infrastructure plus months of engineering |
| Audio + video | Both, matched in a single query | Mostly audio-only | Two separate models to build and tune |
| Snippet matching | Exact coverage, offsets, and gaps from a 5-second clip | Match / no-match, limited detail | Approximate similarity, no alignment |
| Transparency | Open source algorithm — no black box | Proprietary | Depends on the models you pick |
