How to manage video library and folders with your AI

Connect Tolstoy to your AI client to navigate your video assets using plain English. You stop clicking through menus and start asking for what you need.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can I use my AI to find videos in Tolstoy?

Yes. You can ask your agent to list your folders or find specific videos within your library. This turns your video repository into a searchable database you control with text commands.

Where every request lands.

Outcomes of library management

Your AI handles the navigation so you can focus on the content.

NAVIGATION

Instant folder maps

The AI uses your library structure to show you exactly where assets live. You get a clear view of your folder hierarchy without digging through the Tolstoy UI.

DISCOVERY

Direct video access

Instead of scrolling, you ask for specific files. Your agent identifies the right videos based on your description.

ORGANIZATION

Structural overview

Get a bird's-eye view of how your marketing assets are grouped. This helps you keep track of large video collections.

HUMAN

Manual content edits

The AI identifies and finds files, but you still handle the actual video editing or uploading. It manages the map, not the footage itself.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for assets.

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

  1. Map the structure

    Your agent scans your Tolstoy account to see how your videos are organized into directories.

    list_folders

  2. Locate files

    Once the folders are known, the AI looks through them to find the specific video files you mentioned.

    list_videos

  3. Verify content

    The AI checks the results against your request to ensure the video names match what you're looking for.

    list_videos

  4. Present findings

    The agent gives you a clean list of the videos or folders it found so you can proceed with your work.

FAQ

How the library management works

  • 01

    Can the AI delete videos for me?

    No. The current tools only allow the AI to list folders and videos. It cannot delete or move files.

  • 02

    Can I upload new videos using the AI?

    No. You must upload your video assets directly through the Tolstoy interface.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my video content?

    The AI sees the metadata and file names provided by the tools to help it find what you need.

  • 04

    Can I rename folders through the chat?

    No. The AI can only read your existing folder structure, not modify it.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which folder a video is in?

    The AI uses the list_folders and list_videos tools to map the relationship between your directories and your files.
