We know how much time can disappear when you’re hunting for the right image or trying to tag a mountain of files in your DAM system. That’s why we’re so excited to announce the launch of our first AI-powered feature, plus three more AI features that are on their way to Asset Bank soon.
"The new AI features make my searches so much more easy and fast – making my work much more efficient.
"I don’t have to count on my memory as to which of our designs has images with the style or elements I'm looking for. It is especially helpful for social media & blog posts, ads, and other needs."
– Shira Green, Senior Global Brand Manager, Caesarstone
Designed to save you time, reduce hassle, and make your searches smarter, these features will be rolling out over the next few months:
Check them out:
1. Searching for That Perfect Image Just Got Easier
Traditionally speaking, you can’t ‘search’ for an image, unless that image is tagged with certain keywords that you know to look for. Soon, that’s all going to change.
Our new AI Visual Search will let you describe what you’re after in natural language, and Asset Bank’s new AI will do the hard work of finding it. You won’t have to second-guess what tags or filenames were used.
Simply type a description (like “team photo with laptops” or “autumn forest landscape”) and let AI surface the best matches.
Even better? It’s multilingual! You’ll be able to search using French, German, or Spanish terms, and still get accurate results. Ideal for international teams or those working across markets.
No more digging through folders or trying endless keyword combinations – just describe, search, and find the image you need.
2. Find Similar Images at the Click of a Button
You might know your Asset Bank is full of cat pictures, but when you search ‘cats’, only a handful of images turn up. So frustrating!
Usually, this happens because search results rely on metadata – and if images aren’t tagged with a ‘cats’ keyword, they’re invisible for that search term.
Well, not for much longer.
Just click our AI Similar Images feature, and it’ll suggest other images that share similar characteristics, whether that’s the style, colour palette, subject, or composition – regardless of what their metadata says. So your cats will should show up.
It’s a really neat way to explore your library and uncover hidden gems you might have forgotten about.
3. Search By Image for Targeted Results
Here’s one we think you’ll love: AI Search by Image. Instead of typing a search term, just drag and drop an image into Asset Bank, and AI will find similar files from your library.
This is especially handy if:
- You need to find the original version of a low-res or edited image.
- You’re trying to match the style of an existing piece of creative.
- You want to check if you’ve already got something similar before buying new images.
It’s a simple way to make the most of the assets you already have, and reduce unnecessary costs on re-purchasing originals.
4. Say Goodbye to Manual Tagging
We know how time-consuming manual tagging all your metadata can be. But soon, that’ll be a thing of the past! When you upload images, AI-Powered Image Metadata automatically generates useful metadata – like alt-text, descriptions, and potentially even keyword suggestions.
It not only going saves your team hours of admin time, but also means your assets will be much easier to find later down the line.
Plus, useful, well-written alt-text supports web accessibility standards and SEO best practice, so it’s a win for inclusivity and ranking factors too 👌.
“Since we started using Asset Bank's new AI alt-text feature, our team has saved a very considerable amount of time when uploading and indexing new assets.
"The descriptions are precise and reflect our needs exactly, e.g., when adding assets to our website. A huge gain in time; a huge improvement!”
– Cornelia von Einem, Senior Communications Team Coordinator, C40 Cities
