Models

Mary is temporarily unavailable — all scans run on Qualia, the default model.

Every scan runs through one of Sapient’s brain-response models. Today that model is Qualia. You don’t need to pick one — omit the model field on create and your scan runs on Qualia. It returns the four lenses, scored second by second.

Model	Reads	Sharpest at	Price per scan	Status
`qualia` (default)	Video and audio (no text input)	Telling visually distinct videos apart	$2.50	Available
`mary`	Video, audio, voice, and text	The spoken, written, or narrative layer	—	Temporarily unavailable

Qualia is the default. Omit the model field entirely and your scan runs on Qualia.

Qualia

Qualia is a brain encoder. It takes your content, predicts the response of real human brain networks, and reads that prediction out as the four lenses, scored second by second. It reads video (visual and audio together) and audio or voice. It does not take text input. Submit a 30-second reel or ad, and you get back a per-second timeline across all four lenses: where attention holds, where buy-intent builds, where it slips. Qualia is sharpest at separating visually distinct pieces of video, which makes it the one to reach for when you’re comparing video creatives and need them clearly told apart. Use Qualia to:

Score a reel, TikTok, or video ad before you publish or put spend behind it.
A/B test video creatives where the variants are visual: different cuts, footage, or pacing.
Pick the strongest of several video edits before launch.

Submit a video URL. For a comparison, submit two video URLs as one scan each.
