Short answer

How can I update Widen asset metadata using AI?

You tell your AI which assets need changes, and it uses Widen tools to find them and apply new tags or technical properties. This lets you clean up your library using natural language. You'll get organized, searchable files.

Where your changes land.

The results of your cleanup.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of finding and modifying data, leaving you to make the final decisions.

TAGS

Updated metadata

The AI applies new tags or technical properties to your assets. Your Widen library stays organized and searchable.

SEARCH

Cleaned libraries

By fixing incorrect properties, the AI ensures your search results are actually accurate. You find what you need faster.

AUDIT

Verified details

The AI pulls current asset information so you can see exactly what is wrong before you commit to a change.

HUMAN
