Short answer

How can I get asset links from Widen using my AI?

Tell your AI what file you need, and it will hunt through your Widen folders to find it. It then pulls the exact CDN or HTML embed links you need for your site. You'll get the direct URLs without clicking through folders.

The results you get.

Where your links land.

The AI handles the folder navigation and technical extraction so you don't have to.

DIRECT

CDN embed links

The AI finds the asset and grabs the direct CDN URL. You can paste these straight into your code or CMS.

WEB

HTML snippets

Get ready-to-use HTML code for embedding assets. This saves you from manually generating embed tags for every image or video.

DATA

Asset metadata

The AI pulls technical properties for any file it finds. Use this to check dimensions, file types, or custom tags.

HUMAN

Final implementation

You decide which links are correct for your specific web layout. The AI provides the links, but you handle the actual deployment.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for an asset.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Widen hierarchy.

  1. Locate the file

    The AI searches through your Widen folders and metadata to find the specific asset you described.

    search_widen_assets

  2. Get the link

    Once the file is found, the AI grabs the specific CDN or HTML embed code required for web use.

    list_cdn_embed_links

  3. Verify details

    The AI checks the specific properties of the asset to ensure it matches your requirements.

    get_asset_details

  4. Deliver the link

    The AI presents the final URL or code snippet directly in your chat window.

    list_cdn_embed_links
