How to manage video media assets with your AI

Connect Creatomate to your AI client to turn your media library into a searchable database. Once connected, your agent can see exactly what files you have ready for production.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I use AI to find my Creatomate files?

Your AI uses the list_media_assets tool to pull a full inventory of your uploaded images, videos, and audio. This lets you ask your agent to find specific clips or assets without manual searching. You'll get a clear view of your available media for your next edit.

The outcomes

Where your media lands

The AI organizes your library data into these specific outcomes.

INVENTORY

Full asset list

The AI pulls every file from your Creatomate account. You get a clean list of what's available for use.

SEARCH

Targeted file finding

Instead of scrolling, tell your agent to find a specific video or audio file. It identifies the exact asset you need.

PREP

Production readiness

The AI checks your library to see if you have the right assets for a specific template. This confirms you're ready to build.

HUMAN

Manual selection

The AI shows you what exists, but you still decide which specific clips to pull into your final timeline.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Creatomate storage.
