How AI Search Works

  • AI-Powered Image Recognition:The AI model "looks" at each image and identifies key features like objects, people, colors, or places. It uses its training data (millions of images it’s learned from) to recognize these elements.
    • Results do not currently include facial recognition features, such as "blue eyes," or brand names. 
  • Generating Labels: Based on what it sees, the AI automatically assigns labels to the photo. For example, if it sees a picture of a beach, it might label it with terms like beach, sand, ocean, sunset, or vacation.
  • Searching by Labels: Once the photos are labeled, you can search your collection using these terms. So, if you type "sunset" or "beach" into a search box, the AI pulls up all photos labeled with those terms.


Lytho's AI model is pre-trained. We will not use customer data to further train the model.

Updating User Roles

The AI Search feature must be added to a user's Role to allow them to access the AI Search option in the Asset Manager. Once their role is updated, users can seamlessly switch between AI Search and the standard search. 


To update the role, start in Settings then Roles. Select the Role you would like to edit, open more options menu, and choose Edit. Under the DAM tab, toggle on AI Search.




Using AI Search

Select the magnifying glass icon to turn on AI Search in your search bar and typing a keyword. Lytho's advanced AI search will present on-demand content based on the asset itself, tags, and filters. The effectiveness of AI Search depends on the volume and variety of assets in your library. 




To return to standard search, select the magnifying glass icon in the search bar.
