Editors typically spend 10–20 minutes per article searching for the right images (according to our clients’ feedback). Even saving just one minute per article translates – with around 200 articles published per day – into approx. €5,000 in monthly savings *).
With COMYAN AI Search, you put Artificial Intelligence to work exactly where it has the greatest impact: in editorial research. Together with picture editors, we have developed a set of practical, real-world features over several years – now available under the name AI Search.
How AI Search supports your newsroom:
- Concept Search – The AI understands your query in context.Example: “European energy crisis” delivers results on gas shortages, power prices, Nord Stream, and political debates — even if none of these terms are in the captions.
- Visual Search – Find uncaptioned images or specific moods.Example: “rusty old industrial plants in rainy atmosphere.”
- Visual Filter – Combine classic keyword search with visual criteria.Example: “Merz AND Zelensky” + Filter: “shaking hands.”
- Similarity Search – Instantly see all visually similar images with one click.Example: 30 perspectives of the same scene, ready to choose from.
- Matching Images – Automatically suggested images for each story – independent of agency or language.
- Tolerant Search – Recognizes all spelling variants automatically.Example: Selenskij, Selenskiy, Zelenskyy.
