AI Search Best Practices

You can find the media you are looking for faster with an AI search. To AI search anything in your drive, press cmd/ctrl + k . To AI search your current folder, press cmd/ctrl + f .

Shade’s AI is not centered around tags; it’s centered around creating a unified understanding of assets (the core unit of information) and text (how we typically search). Tags are only a mere snapshot of this with 1500 words that we’ve curated while creating Shade. It is not representative of every image or frame, nor does it capture semantic information such as actions etc.

DO: “Drone footage of a forest in the autumn on a mountain”

DON’T: “Forest, Trees, Drone”

DO: “Bottles on a shelf”

DON’T: “Shelf, Bottle”

After you have completed an AI search, you will want to choose the type of asset you are searching for by selecting the asset type below your query.

To exclude a folder from being indexed by AI or appearing in AI searches, you can right click on any folder and press “Exclude folder from AI”
