Suggest description
When editing the asset description, there is a link to suggest a description in the upper right corner of the description text box.
The suggest a description feature is only supported for image files. You will not see the option for other asset types, such as font, color, video, people, etc.
Selecting the Suggest description button will generate a caption for the asset that captures information in the image.
When you generate a caption, you can supply feedback using the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons to help improve the description's accuracy. You can either choose to Append the information or Replace the current description.
Admins and owners can turn off suggest a description at the Brandfolder level by navigating to Settings > General Settings > Advanced. Here, select Disabled for the AI-Generated Image Captions row.
The AI-generated captions are only available in English at this time.
