Short answer

How can I change video titles and tags using AI?

You tell your AI what to change, and it uses the Limelight Networks tools to find and modify your video assets. This lets you fix typos or update descriptions without touching a dashboard. You get a clean, organized library through simple conversation.

The results

What your library looks like

Your AI handles the technical heavy lifting in your video library.

SYNC

Updated asset details

The AI modifies titles and tags directly in your library. Your metadata stays current without manual entry.

SEARCH

Found video assets

Your agent scans your existing library to locate specific files. You can find exactly what you need by describing it.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI proposes changes to your metadata first. You decide if the new titles or tags are correct before they go live.

AUDIT

Cleaned up library

Mass updates to tags or descriptions happen through chat. This keeps your VOD catalog organized and searchable.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your intent into specific API calls to Limelight Networks.

  1. Locate the files

    Your agent looks through your entire video collection to find the specific assets you mentioned.

    list_assets

  2. Inspect the asset

    The AI pulls the current metadata, such as existing tags or titles, to understand what needs changing.

    get_asset

  3. Apply the changes

    Once you confirm, the AI sends the new titles or tags to the network to update the record.

    update_asset

  4. Verify the update

    The AI checks the asset again to ensure the new metadata is correctly applied and saved.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete videos from my library?

    No. The available tools only allow for listing, getting, and updating metadata. It cannot delete assets.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my video files themselves?

    No. The AI only modifies the metadata, such as titles and tags, not the actual video content or files.

  • 03

    Does the AI need me to provide the Asset ID every time?

    Not necessarily. You can ask it to find an asset by its title, and it will use the list tool to find the correct ID for you.

  • 04

    Can I bulk update tags for all my videos at once?

    Yes. You can instruct your AI to find a group of assets and apply the same tags to all of them.

  • 05

    Does the AI automatically save changes?

    The AI executes the update command immediately after you give the instruction, but it is best practice to review the proposed changes first.
