Overview

About Skiv

Skiv is video-hosting software, formerly branded muse.ai and built since 2018, that adds AI-powered in-video search across speech, on-screen text, and visual elements so viewers can jump to the exact moment they need instead of scrubbing a timeline. It includes a customizable HTML5 player with Chromecast and Airplay support, cloud storage, automatic transcription, and a paid feature called Portals for creators who want to monetize their video library directly. A developer API is available for programmatic access. Existing muse.ai customers kept their videos, collections, and settings intact through the rename.

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of Skiv

medium confidence

Skiv's differentiator is genuinely searchable video, finding a moment by what's said or shown on screen, not just by title or timestamp, which sets it apart from generic video hosts. It is the renamed muse.ai, running since 2018, and the terms still name the same operator, Musai Inc., under California law, so the rename is continuity rather than a new owner.

Pros

  • searches inside videos by speech, on-screen text, and visual content, not just metadata
  • player supports Chromecast, Airplay, and smart TVs out of the box
  • built-in monetization via subscription Portals
  • developer API available for programmatic use
  • carries over an established product history from muse.ai since 2018

Cons

  • recently renamed from muse.ai, which may confuse existing links, embeds, or search results
  • the 14-day trial requires a card up front
  • entry tier at $8/month requires annual billing to get that rate; monthly billing doubles it

Best for

  • creators or teams with a video library who need to search inside content, not just browse titles
  • anyone wanting to monetize a video library directly through subscription Portals
  • developers wanting API access to video search and hosting

Not for

  • users needing a name they instantly recognize, given the recent rebrand from muse.ai
  • casual users just wanting free, ad-supported video embeds

Watch out: The $8/month entry price requires annual billing; paying monthly costs $16/month for the same Basic tier.
