Extensis Introduces Portfolio Smart Keywords, Automated Keywording for Digital Asset Management


Today Extensis® announced Portfolio Smart Keywords, a new add-on module for Extensis’ digital asset management solution— Portfolio 2016®— that accelerates image keywording. With two simple clicks, Portfolio Smart Keywords automatically delivers a list of “smart” keywords, providing an instant boost to the digital asset management process and dramatically reducing manual time assigning keywords.

Smart Keywords uses an AI algorithm to compare thumbnails against billions of images. Powered by Clarifai, the visual recognition technology built on the most powerful artificial intelligence in the industry, these well-trained algorithms interpret the images and apply “smart” tags to them within milliseconds. Users simply select their images, and Clarifai suggests keywords to help tag and organize assets.

“Keywords are the underpinning of what make digital asset management solutions effective. Without them, you just have a sea of files,” said Toby Martin, Vice President of Development & Strategy at Extensis. “By automating keywording, companies will be able to maximize their DAM and find the files they need in the moment they need them.”

Matthew Zeiler, founder & CEO of Clarifai, noted: “Digital Asset Management is the perfect application for Clarifai’s powerful visual recognition technology—it’s all about identifying the characteristics of an image and then categorizing it appropriately so end users can easily search and find any media asset.”
