Create your Vinkius account to connect Immich (Google Photos Alternative) to AutoGen and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Multi-agent photo management for AutoGen
Assign one agent to `list_assets` while another evaluates file quality. They debate which images deserve to be moved into a new collection. Once they agree, the system executes `create_album` to finalize the move. This collaborative approach prevents messy, unorganized libraries.
Consensus-driven tagging in AutoGen
Let agents review photo content and propose tags using `create_tag`. A security-focused agent can flag sensitive images for review. Finalize the tagging process with `update_tag` after the agents reach a consensus. This ensures your library metadata is accurate and verified by multiple perspectives.
Automated cleanup tasks in AutoGen
Deploy agents to identify duplicates or low-quality assets using `list_assets`. They negotiate which items are redundant and ready for removal. Trigger `delete_asset` only after the agents confirm the deletion criteria. This keeps your local storage clean without accidental data loss.
