The problem it solves

Labeling marketing photos with useful descriptions, tone, and keywords for search is tedious work that usually gets skipped. Without it, finding the right image later means scrolling through folders hoping you recognize the thumbnail.

Who it fits

Marketing teams managing a large library of campaign or brand images.

How it works

  1. You start the check for new images
  2. The system finds new image files in a Google Drive folder
  3. It checks your spreadsheet to skip images already tagged
  4. AI analyzes each new image for scene, tone, and keywords
  5. The results are added to your spreadsheet and a Slack alert confirms it's done
What you get

Images tagged and ready to search

You get every new marketing image tagged automatically with scene, tone, and keyword details added straight to your spreadsheet.

What you get

A spreadsheet of rich, searchable metadata for every marketing image, plus a completion alert.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Google Sheets account, a Slack account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
