A New Way to Find, Create, and Edit Content: Introducing the AI Assistant
Go beyond keywords with the DepositPhotos AI Assistant!
Finding the perfect visual isn’t always about keywords. When your idea is complex, abstract, or highly specific, search results may not match what you have in mind.
The AI Assistant helps you get the right result. It brings together contextual search, real-time refinements, image generation, and built-in editing tools—so you can create content ready for commercial use with more control and less friction.
Put your vision into words and get the perfect fit.
How the AI Assistant helps with creative challenges
The AI Assistant offers a different approach to traditional search: describe your idea, adjust results step by step, and move from concept to the final asset with greater flexibility along the way.
With conversational search, you can express your idea naturally, as you would to another person. The AI Assistant understands context and details, not just individual keywords, helping you clarify your vision and guide the outcome more precisely.
1. Ideate and explore concepts
Use the AI Assistant as your brainstorming companion. Before you begin your search, discuss your brief, explore campaign directions, and test visual concepts—moving from a blank page to a clear idea in a few steps.
For example, you can ask, “What are some unique photography styles for a travel campaign?” or compare different directions like “minimalist vs editorial visuals for a fintech brand.”
2. Search with contextual descriptions or references
Skip keyword guesswork. Express your vision in natural language or use a reference image to guide the AI Assistant. It interprets your request and shows relevant content across images, video, and audio from the DepositPhotos library of licensed files.
Looking for distinctive music for a lifestyle video or locally specific visuals like U.S. road-work signs? Describe it and get accurate results.
3. Refine results with follow-up requests
Working with the AI Assistant is iterative. There’s no need to restart your progress—just continue the conversation, adjusting the mood, format, or details of your content as the tool updates the results step by step.
For example, if you’re looking for images of modern office teamwork, you can refine your request with “make it more diverse,” “add natural lighting,” or “use a more candid style.”
4. Generate unique, licensed visuals
When your idea calls for something more specific, create visuals from your description using the AI Image Generator (powered by Nano Banana and Bria) integrated into the Assistant. This is especially useful for concept development and distinctive creative directions.
Whether you are designing a bold social media campaign or a striking advertisement, put your vision into words and watch your ideas take shape.
5. Edit images in the same workflow
Once you’ve found or generated an image, you can modify it using built-in editing tools inside the Assistant. Simply ask to remove the background from an image you like, resize it for social media platforms, or clean up details like unwanted pedestrians in a city shot—all without leaving your workflow.
When the AI Assistant adds the most value
✅ When your idea is hard to describe with keywords: Capture mood, style, and nuance beyond what tags can handle.
✅ When you need to iterate quickly: Adjust results, formats, and details without restarting.
✅ When your workflow spans multiple steps: Search, generate, and edit in one connected flow.
