Cloudinary’s DAM solution was built to empower brands to create, manage, and deliver faster and more engaging visual experiences by seamlessly automating and optimizing assets at scale. Today’s updates will help brands win the ever competitive ‘content challenge’ and provide more authentic connections for customers. The new features include:
- Apps for DAM: To realize the full potential of software, customization is a must even though it usually means additional cost and complexity. Apps for DAM help to compress workflow steps and automate repetitive tasks by offering one-click access to robust capabilities for creating, processing and managing assets tailored for an organization’s unique needs. Key features include:
- App catalog: Prebuilt apps for automation, sharing, publication, and the like.
- Future-proof assurance: An API-based, low-maintenance capability adapted for extended use
- Simple setup and integration: One-click installation of an intuitive interface with quick access via contextual menu
- Customization: Easily craft single or multi step processes
- Media Library Chrome Extension: An easy to install and configure Chrome extension, which extends the power of Cloudinary DAM to any web-based application negating the need to spend effort or time on bespoke integrations. With the extension, users can search, find, select and insert images or image URLs into any web application rich text field. The extension includes having the ability to create asset variations with UI-based Media & Transformation Editors and full transform library URL actions.
- Natural Language Visual Search: A new feature currently in development supercharges asset search by returning relevant results that are not reliant upon existing catalog keywords or metadata. This search function creates meaningful tags of common terms by leveraging a neural network of millions of assets, greatly reducing the reliance on manual or automated entry of metadata. Features include:
- Relevance: The discovery of highly relevant assets based on visual content.
- Natural language: Broad and deep search terms, independent of the existing catalog’s metadata.
- Neural network: A network significantly more flexible and all-encompassing than existing models and trained on a wide variety of images and natural phrases.
