The AI acts as a bridge between your conversation and the Bynder API.

  1. Identify the asset

    The AI finds the specific file you are talking about by looking up its current properties.

  2. Read current values

    It pulls the existing metadata to ensure it has the right context before changing anything.

    get_asset

  3. Apply changes

    The AI sends the new metadata values to the specific fields you requested.

  4. Confirm update

    The AI verifies the patch was successful and tells you the new state of the asset.
