Why This Matters
Every enterprise DAM has the same two problems. The first: you know the right asset exists, but the metadata is inconsistent enough that you can’t find it — so you either spend twenty minutes searching or you use something else. The second: the library has quietly accumulated near-duplicates of the same image at different crops, from different shoots, with different rights status, and nobody can tell which one is approved. Both problems get worse with scale, and both are why campaign teams end up requesting new assets that already exist. Asset Search indexes your DAM so Gradial can retrieve, match, and act on assets at scale — by what an asset actually is, not just what someone typed in a field.Asset Search indexes your connected DAM so Gradial can retrieve, match, and act on assets at scale. Once indexed, you can build full campaign matrices populated from your own assets and clean up duplicate content across your library.
Asset Search needs your DAM indexed before the steps on this page will return results. Your Gradial team configures and runs the initial index.
What You Can Do
Brand-Matched Asset Packs
Drop in a campaign brief, pick your audiences, and Gradial fills the full audience × treatment × channel matrix with imagery pulled from your indexed DAM. Different audiences get different visuals, and every cell stays on brand.“Build a campaign matrix for our Q3 product launch targeting enterprise and SMB audiences.”
Visual Duplicate Detection
Gradial groups every visual duplicate and near-duplicate in your DAM into a single cluster — including re-exports, re-crops, and color edits that a file-hash check would miss. Pick a canonical version and Gradial replaces stale variants across every site that references them.Structured, Actionable Results
Every search returns asset paths, titles, and asset IDs the agent can act on directly — not just a list to triage manually.Visual Workflow Mapping
A live graph shows every task in flight, every matrix cell or cluster completed, and anything stuck upstream.Human-in-the-Loop Approvals
Workflows pause at QA checkpoints. Nothing ships, replaces, or activates until brand and compliance sign off.How It Works
1
Index your DAM
Your Gradial team sets up and runs indexing jobs over your connected asset libraries. Asset Search results are only available after indexing is complete.
2
Pick a workflow
Choose to build an Asset Pack from a brief, or open the duplicate cluster view to audit and clean up your library.
3
Ask in plain English
Describe what you want done. Gradial plans the fan-out and shows matched assets, matrix cells, or duplicate clusters before acting.
4
Approve and ship
Review Asset Pack cells or replacement plans. Promote to live when you’re ready.
Getting Started
- Connect your DAM. Add your AEM asset library from the integrations page if you haven’t already — see AEM setup.
- Contact your Gradial team to schedule indexing for your connected DAM.
- Build your first Asset Pack or run a duplicate audit. Once indexing is complete, describe the task in Gradial Chat.
