Search for pictures by describing them

Hello Leo!
It would be useful to have an AI that could search for a file with an image. For example,
I am a new employee and my employer has images in his publications and he wants me to use an image made years ago and I don't know at all where to find it in the company's network and it must be somewhere.
So I would take a snapshot of this image and ask the AI ​​to find all the images that resemble it!!!

This would require Opus to maintain a database of all your files ... which it does not.
Opus is only accessing your files (names and metadata) when you browse to a folder or when you search inside a folder (including subfolders or not depending on the search criteria).
I sincerely doubt Opus will fulfill that feature request.

You can probably install a local AI, give it read access to your files, and then make an Opus button or script which prompts for a description and sends the query off to it, turning the results that come back into a file collection.

The Ask Gemini+ script could be a starting point.

It's not the kind of thing we plan to built into the program, at least not any time soon.

Thanks Leo! I have Claude code cowork installed so i will try this next time :slight_smile:

The feature you are looking for is possible with Excire Foto.

Oh thanks! i will take a look there too :wink:

You could use TagMaster with AUTOTAG=unattended so you can use AI to describe images in bulk. But you're going to need either a lot of tokens or a local model already set up.
That script lets you use custom models as long as they provide an API for intercommunication and some other requisites explained in the link from above. There are several local models that are decent for image management; just use one that has vision capabilities.

Once the images have a description, you should be able to use any image metadata search tool, such as Opus.

first, you must gather all the images the company has.
then, run them through AI, the AI would generate tags for those images.
then, use the tags to search/query the database of images you have.
this isn't really a DOpus problem. DOpus can act as the interface, and the scripts/AI works under the hood.
If you ask AI about how to do this, AI would help you step-by-step. but it would be a long process.
