giftdetect· the right gift in minutesKorean physical-AI company Ceilab has launched XAIVA Agent, an AI agent built into its vision-AI video analytics platform XAIVA. Control-room staff no longer need to comb through multiple CCTV feeds and alert logs. They can ask in everyday language, and the agent finds and organizes the relevant events.
How it works
The core feature is natural-language event search. Ask it to "find yesterday's danger-zone entry events in Building C," and the agent locates matching events and describes in text what is happening in each scene. A query such as "this week's intrusion detections by zone" returns statistics and changes from the previous week, and results can be downloaded as a PDF report with one click. Companies can also register internal safety rules and manuals, and the agent answers related questions by finding the supporting passages.
For users unsure what to ask, the start screen offers a "worth checking now" section. It surfaces events that rose or fell versus last week, repeat incidents at the same place and clusters in particular time slots, for example "intrusion detected at entrance 3 for five days in a row."
The agent works on accumulated history rather than a single clip. The XAIVA engine, connected to site CCTV around the clock, uses more than 130 vision models to detect missing helmets, fires, fallen workers and danger-zone entry in real time. The agent then interprets weeks of events by location, time of day and weekly trend. It runs inside XAIVA without extra development or external integrations.
On-premises and regulation
All analysis runs on the customer's own servers, and closed-network on-premises deployment is supported, so video and results never leave the site. XAIVA holds Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) intelligent CCTV performance certification and top-grade GS certification, meeting entry requirements for semiconductor, pharmaceutical and public sites.
Demand is rising as Korean safety rules shift toward prevention. An Industrial Safety and Health Act amendment passed the National Assembly on October 1, extending work stoppage beyond imminent danger to cases where risk is a concern. Since January, construction sites can fully count purchase or rental costs of smart safety equipment such as AI CCTV within the 20% cap on safety management spending.
CEO Yoon Se-hyuk said CCTV is multiplying fast but there are far too few people to watch it, and that control should shift to AI finding the scenes and explaining them while people focus on judgment and response. Ceilab plans to expand from construction and advanced manufacturing to public monitoring and small businesses. In September, the company took first place in Track 4 of NVIDIA's 2026 AI City Challenge, which covers text-based search for people and anomalies.
