AI photo workflows with your own library

I’m pitching a boutique hotel group. They want warmth: low evening light, beautiful interiors, materials you want to touch, and signs of life without posed portraits. Search my Grain Photo catalog with several different queries, review the previews you’re allowed to see, and propose a dozen images in two or three directions. Give filenames, source locations, and a sentence on why each fits. Flag anything that may need a release or permission review. Show me the directions before saving anything.

Help me find a photo story in my photographs from Japan. If a source, folder, collection, or keyword identifies that work, use it; otherwise ask me where to look. Search for rain, night streets, umbrellas, market stalls, and lit signs. Review a manageable sample of the previews you can inspect and suggest two possible stories, each with an eight-image sequence identified by filename. Explain the visual connections. Separate your interpretation from what the metadata records, and tell me what you searched rather than claiming you reviewed everything.

Help me plan a month of posts from work I haven’t published. You can’t know my publishing history, so use only the Grain Photo collection, keyword, or list of filenames I give you as the pool. Review the previews you can inspect, propose twelve images in four weekly themes, and keep near-identical frames apart. Draft captions only from the context I give you and the recorded metadata; ask me about anything you can’t know. Identify every image by filename. Draft only: don’t export, schedule, or publish anything.

Find horizontal photographs with a red coat from my spring campaign. Search the source and dates I name in Grain Photo, and combine the description with recorded metadata such as capture dates where it exists. Return filenames, capture dates, and source locations. Mark which results you checked in a preview and which matched on metadata alone. If the dates or source might be incomplete, say so, and don’t treat a missing result as proof the photo doesn’t exist.

I’m approaching an architecture studio that values warm materials, natural light, and buildings in use. Search my Grain Photo catalog and propose a 12-image portfolio for that audience. Review permitted previews. Suggest an opener, a sequence, and three alternates, explaining each choice. Avoid repeating near-identical compositions in the edit; this is a visual selection, not a duplicate-file cleanup. Keep the original files and metadata unchanged until we agree on the selection.

Here is my script about a fishing town waking up. Break it into visual beats, then search my Grain Photo catalog for candidate videos and stills: harbor at dawn, ropes and hands, market preparation, boats leaving. Return filenames and source locations against each beat. Mark anything that needs playback review. Do not invent clip timecodes, audio, or events you haven’t inspected. List the beats with no useful candidates in this search; don’t assume those shots don’t exist elsewhere.

I’m planning a bakery story: the owner before opening, dough preparation, the oven, the first customers, and the shop at dusk. Search my Grain Photo catalog for useful references and possible existing images for each part. Review previews where allowed. Draft a shot list that distinguishes archive candidates, new shots to consider, and unresolved questions. Cite the files used as references. Don’t infer usage rights or treat a missing search result as proof I’ve never shot it.
