How to find media files in team drives with your AI

Connect Descript to your AI client once. After that, you can just ask your agent to hunt down any recording or project sitting in your drives.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I find my Descript recordings using AI?

Your AI uses the Descript MCP to look through your drives and project lists. You can ask it to find a specific composition or list everything in a certain drive. Here is what you can do.

The results

Where your files land

The AI handles the searching so you don't have to click through folders.

SEARCH

Instant file location

The AI scans your drives to find the exact recording you need. You get the project name and location immediately.

LIST

Drive overviews

Ask for a list of all projects within a specific drive. It pulls the names and details directly from your Descript account.

RECALL

Project summaries

The AI identifies which projects belong to which drives. This helps you organize your thoughts without manual searching.

HUMAN

Manual editing

The AI finds the files but doesn't touch the timeline. You still handle all the actual Descript editing yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a file.

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

  1. Identify drives

    The AI looks at your available Descript storage to see what's available.

    list_drives

  2. Scan projects

    Once it knows which drive to look in, it pulls the list of all compositions inside.

    list_projects

  3. Match your request

    The AI compares your specific search terms against the project names it found.

    list_projects

  4. Report findings

    The AI tells you exactly which project matches your description.

    list_projects
