How to update asset metadata with your AI

Connect Frontify to your AI client once, then use natural language to fix file names and descriptions across your workspace.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI edit Frontify asset details?

Yes. Your agent can pull a list of assets from a project and overwrite their titles or descriptions with new text. You'll get a cleaner, more searchable library through these specific outcomes.

The results

Where your changes land

The AI handles the data entry while you provide the direction.

CLEAN DATA

Consistent naming

The AI applies your naming rules to asset titles. This keeps your Frontify workspace organized and easy to navigate.

SEARCHABLE

Better descriptions

Your agent writes detailed descriptions for media files. This makes finding specific assets much faster through search.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide which assets need updates and check the AI's work. The AI won't change anything without your direct command.

SYNCED

Live updates

Changes happen directly in Frontify. Once the AI finishes, your updated metadata is immediately available to your whole team.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves between reading your current library and writing the new information.

  1. Scan the project

    The AI looks through your designated Frontify project to see what assets are currently there.

    get_project_assets

  2. Analyze existing info

    It reads the current titles and descriptions to understand what each file represents.

    get_project_assets

  3. Draft new metadata

    Your agent generates the new, improved text based on your instructions.

    patch_asset_metadata

  4. Apply the changes

    The AI pushes the new titles and descriptions directly to the specific files in your workspace.

    patch_asset_metadata
