Instantly enhance your digital asset management with AI-driven image tagging. This workflow automatically analyzes new images uploaded to Google Drive, generates descriptive keywords using OpenAI's GPT-4o, and embeds them directly into the image's XMP metadata, ensuring every file is perfectly categorized and searchable.
About This Workflow
Unlock the full potential of your image library with this powerful n8n workflow for automated metadata tagging. Designed for efficiency, it seamlessly integrates with Google Drive, triggering every time a new image is added to a designated folder. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of OpenAI's GPT-4o, the workflow intelligently analyzes image content, generating a precise, comma-separated list of descriptive keywords. These keywords are then programmatically embedded into the image's XMP metadata (dc:subject), enriching your assets with searchable information. The original file in Google Drive is updated, ensuring your entire collection is consistently organized and easily discoverable without any manual effort. Perfect for digital asset management and content organization.
