We all know the struggle – you've meticulously uploaded a library of images, but crafting detailed descriptions for each one feels like a never-ending chore. Pics.io is here to help with our revolutionary new feature: AI-generated descriptions! This innovative tool leverages the power of artificial intelligence to automatically create unique and informative captions for your visual content.
The benefits of AI-generated descriptions extend far beyond saving time. Consistent and informative descriptions significantly improve the organization within your Pics.io library. When searching for specific assets, relevant descriptions act as a digital map, guiding you quickly to the visual content you need. This enhanced searchability translates to increased efficiency for your entire team.
The AI-generated descriptions will form a crucial part of the metadata used by the search tool, ensuring that your assets are indexed and searchable in the most efficient way when using search queries like this ‘Wedding ceremony under a floral arch, Vintage movie poster from the 1950s, White sandy beach with palm trees’.
How to generate descriptions using AI?
Gone are the days of manually typing out descriptions for every asset. Pics.io makes it incredibly easy to utilize AI descriptions - simply click the "Generate description" button from the Details panel of an asset. This can be done from three different states:
When one or more assets are selected;
When opening asset preview;
When uploading a new asset.
If an asset already has a description, Pics.io won't overwrite it automatically. When a user with permission tries to generate a description for an asset with an existing one, a modal window will appear with two options:
Combine descriptions: This will merge the AI-generated description with the existing description, potentially creating a more comprehensive description.
Replace description: This will entirely replace the existing description with the newly generated one.
This user control ensures you can leverage the AI's suggestions while maintaining the existing information if needed.
Can AI generate descriptions automatically upon uploading assets?
Absolutely! You can streamline your upload process by enabling automatic image captioning. This can be done by going to the Description settings under My Team -> Artificial Intelligence section, and checking the box labeled "Automatically generate descriptions on upload".
You can also set a default action for existing descriptions. This determines whether the system combines or replaces these descriptions with newly generated ones.
This feature works similarly to the automatic generation of keywords or face recognition, ensuring your assets are consistently described without any additional effort on your part. All newly uploaded assets will automatically receive AI-generated descriptions.
AI models
We offer two AI tools for generating descriptions automatically:
GPT-4o: This is a powerful and versatile model, but it may struggle to recognize specific entities like celebrities, famous people, or movies.
Pics.io AI: This specialized model excels at identifying these specific entities within your images, providing more detailed and accurate descriptions. It is ideal for users with high privacy and security standards, because user data is not processed by any third-party services.
Currently, you cannot switch between tools directly within the platform. However, if you'd like to use Pics.io AI or switch back to Open AI (GPT-4o), you can contact us at support@pics.io and we will help you with that.
How to search for assets using descriptions?
One of the significant advantages of AI-generated descriptions is the ease with which you can search for your assets. By using the generated description or any word or phrase from it, you can quickly locate specific assets. Simply go to the search bar, select the option to search only in Descriptions, and type in the word or phrase you want to search by.
This functionality makes it incredibly easy to find assets based on the detailed and accurate descriptions generated by the AI.
Who can generate or change descriptions for my assets?
You can control who can use the AI description feature by checking the box for "Generate AI descriptions" from My team tab -> Roles -> Collection permissions -> Assets -> Change asset attributes.
Pricing
Similar to AI-powered keywording, generating AI descriptions consumes assets for AI processing. Each processed image will use 1 asset.
If you are running out of assets in your balance and need to purchase more, just navigate to the Billing page and pick a suitable AI-Kit Add-on.
In summary, by incorporating AI-generated descriptions, Pics.io empowers you to organize your digital assets with unparalleled efficiency. Imagine the time saved and the frustration eliminated! This innovative feature streamlines your workflow, enhances team collaboration, and ensures your visual content is always readily accessible. Take your asset management to the next level and experience the power of AI with Pics.io today!
