AI metadata generation
Use powerful AI assistants to automatically add relevant keywords and titles to your media for better discoverability.

Managing a large collection of photos and videos requires consistent, comprehensive metadata, but adding it all manually is a time-consuming chore. PhotoDeck’s AI metadata assistants change that, helping you save hours of work while making your media collections more searchable and your images more likely to be found by clients.
We connect you directly to industry-leading AI tools like Amazon Rekognition, Microsoft Computer Vision, and OpenAI ChatGPT. These services use powerful algorithms to analyze the content of your images and automatically generate new, highly relevant keywords, tags, and even titles.
AI-generated keywords and titles are then directly editable in your PhotoDeck management space.
Accelerate your workflow
Once you’ve set up an assistant, adding metadata is as simple as selecting images and clicking a button. Even better, you can automatically analyze all future uploads to ensure each of them is instantly findable. This is invaluable for:
- Stock and Commercial Libraries: Quickly generating descriptive keywords to tag thousands of images to help clients find images and for search engine optimization.
- Marketing and Media Teams: Ensuring assets are correctly tagged with specific, detailed product information, saving your team from having to write repetitive descriptions.
- Sport and Event Photographers: Automatically capturing athlete’s bib numbers, making it simple for participants to find their photos instantly by searching their number.
More relevant keywords with ChatGPT
When using OpenAI ChatGPT, you can go beyond generic tags by customizing the instruction prompt. This allows you to generate more specialized and less generic titles and keywords that match your professional vocabulary or specific project needs. For example:
- For Automotive Photographers: Instruct the AI to “Identify car brands and makes, car models, their category and main characteristics”.
- For Tourism Boards: Request “Positive captions and keywords in the realm of holidays, travel and well-being. Identify landmarks and locations”.
- For Architectural Photographers: Ask the AI to “Use the same words an architect would use to describe the image. Identify construction materials”.
By customizing the tagging instructions, you can ensure the generated metadata perfectly aligns with how your clients search for images.
Specific, targeted analysis
PhotoDeck offers you the control to choose the analysis that matters most to each set of images. You can define multiple assistants to handle different types of content, for example:
- One assistant optimized for detecting text and numbers (like bib numbers, signs, logos, or serial numbers).
- Another assistant focused purely on generic visual tagging (identifying objects, colors, and scenes).
