Sort and tag new photos automatically as you upload them

When you drop a new photo into a folder, the system reads the image, sorts it, tags it, and logs it for you automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken.

The problem it solves

Sorting and tagging a growing folder of photos by hand is slow and easy to fall behind on. If you manage a large library of images, you probably have folders full of untagged, unsorted files that are hard to search later.

Who it fits

Photographers, designers, and digital asset managers who handle large volumes of images and want them organized without manual tagging.

How it works

  1. Starts when a new image lands in your upload folder
  2. Reads the image content to write a description and pick out dominant colors and category
  3. Screens the image for inappropriate content and flags anything unsafe to Slack
  4. Moves the file into the right folder based on its category and adds descriptive tags
  5. Logs the image details in Notion and sends a Slack confirmation
What you get

Photos organized without typing a single tag

You get every uploaded photo automatically described, tagged, and filed into the right folder.

What you get

An automatically sorted and tagged image, plus a Notion record with its description, tags, and link.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI subscription, a Notion account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
