How Metropolis Works

Metropolis offers a cohesive, end-to-end stack of software building blocks and agent skills that handle everything from video ingestion to insight generation to advanced agentic AI-powered analytics. These components can be deployed consistently across the whole compute spectrum—on the edge, in on-prem servers, or in the cloud—so the same applications can run close to where data is generated or centrally at scale.
