Predictive search in digital asset management makes searching for the files you are looking for a whole lot faster. HIVO’s search engine suggests search terms that could be what you're looking for or tags related to the search topic.

Automated Tagging with Machine Learning
Automatically identify and tag objects, people, text, scenes, and activities as metadata in images and videos as they are uploaded to your library. This metadata can be used to easily search your images and videos with keywords in the search engine, or to find the right assets for content syndication.

Keep copyright and licensing agreements attached to your assets within the HIVO digital asset management platform.
Automated Collections
With automated collections, users can create rules and automated workflows based on facial recognition, location, filetype and more. Then when new assets are uploaded into the Library, they will be automatically added into collections based on your rules.
Two-stage Asset Upload Approvals
Keep your library organised and moderated by internal account administrators via a two-stage upload and approval process. Have staff, suppliers or photographers tag and upload content for you and then approve the upload prior to assets being submitted to your asset library.
