Overview
What It Does
Tao Generate Video Reasoning Annotations packages a focused media & files workflow for an AI agent. Multi-step video annotation pipeline that turns raw videos into Chain-of-Thought training data — multi-level captions, structured descriptions, and QA pairs (MCQ, binary, open-ended) with reasoning traces, via VLM/LLM distillation. Use when the user wants to "create video training data", "generate video QA datasets", "build CoT reasoning traces from videos", "auto-label videos", or run the video_reasoning_annotation pipeline. Triggers include "video annotation", "video CoT", "video QA", "chain-of-thought", "video captioning pipeline", "video distillation". It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
