Short answer

How can I manage my Widen assets with AI?

Your AI can list your global categories, view the contents of specific folders, and delete outdated media assets. This lets you audit your library and prune old files through conversation.

Library outcomes.

Where your assets land.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of navigating the DAM structure and removing files.

BROWSE

Explore categories

The AI pulls your top-level folder structure so you can see how assets are grouped. You get a clear view of your library hierarchy.

AUDIT

Check folder contents

You can look inside any specific category to see exactly what files are stored there. This makes finding specific media much faster.

CLEANUP

Remove old assets

The AI deletes specific media files you no longer need. This keeps your Widen instance from getting cluttered with obsolete content.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI identifies what to delete, but you decide when to pull the trigger. You stay in control of the final file removal.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI interacts with Widen to fetch your structure and execute deletions.

  1. Map the library

    The AI first identifies your high-level organization by pulling the main folder list.

    list_global_categories

  2. Inspect folders

    Once you pick a category, the AI looks at the individual files inside that specific group.

    get_category_contents

  3. Locate saved groups

    The AI can also pull up your existing saved collections to find specific sets of media.

    list_saved_collections

  4. Purge files

    When you confirm an asset is junk, the AI removes it from the system permanently.

    delete_media_asset
