Modo
Simple video hosting you run from your AI agent. Built on Cloudflare Stream, with a clean player, share links, private signed links and an MCP server.

Using both
If you are comfortable writing your own tooling, a raw platform such as Cloudflare Stream or Mux costs less. Modo sells the finished product on top: accounts, embeds, private links and the agent workflow.
