Enhancing AI Enrichment with Metaproperty Definitions

Summary

To maximize the accuracy of automated asset tagging and classification, you can now add Definitions to your metaproperties and individual metaproperty options. This provides vital contextual guidance directly to AI systems such as Bynder's Enrichment Agent, helping them understand the specific business meaning behind your taxonomy. The result is smarter, more accurate, and highly effective asset enrichment decisions.

Why?

While AI agents excel at recognizing visual objects and processing text, they lack your organization's internal context. Adding definitions bridges this gap by providing several key advantages:

  • Eliminates Prompt Repetition (Single Source of Truth): Retires the tedious need to explain your metaproperties again and again within individual AI agent prompts. You define it once in your taxonomy settings, and every AI agent instantly inherits that knowledge.
  • Eliminates Ambiguity: Helps AI agents distinguish between similar terms or brand-specific jargon.
  • Improves Tagging Precision: Ensures assets are mapped to the correct metadata values during automated ingestion.
  • Aligns with Brand Intent: Guarantees that audience segments, compliance categories, or campaign parameters are applied exactly how your team intends.

How?

How to Add a Definition to a Metaproperty

Use this workflow to define a high-level metaproperty category (e.g., clarifying what a custom field like "Asset Lifecycle" or "Region" implies):

  1. Navigate to your portal and go to Settings > Taxonomy > Metaproperties management.
  2. Click on Metaproperties and options in the left sidebar.
  3. Select the metaproperty you want to define.
  4. In the right-hand panel, locate the Definition field.
  5. Click the arrow on the right side of the field to expand it.
  6. Enter a clear description of the metaproperty's purpose and save your changes.

How to Add a Definition to a Metaproperty Option

Use this workflow to define specific tags within a metaproperty (e.g., distinguishing between options like "Enterprise" vs. "SMB" under a target market filter):

  1. Navigate to Settings > Taxonomy > Metaproperties management.
  2. Select the parent metaproperty and then click on the specific metaproperty option you want to define.
  3. Locate the Definition field in the right-hand panel.
  4. Click the arrow on the right side of the field.
  5. Enter the specific criteria the AI should look for to apply this option, then save.

Best Practices for Writing AI-Friendly Definitions

To get the absolute best performance out of your AI Enrichment Agents, structure your definitions using these guidelines:

Do Don't
Be Explicit: Clearly state what criteria must be met for an asset to get this tag. Be Vague: Avoid generic phrases like "Standard company assets."
Use Guardrails: Mention what should not receive this tag to prevent false positives. Overcomplicate: Avoid dense paragraphs; keep instructions direct and punchy.
Define Internal Acronyms: Spell out any team-specific or product-specific codes. Assume Existing Knowledge: Do not assume the AI knows what your internal campaign names mean.

Example Definition:

  • Metaproperty Option: Lifestyle Photography
  • AI Definition: "Apply this tag only to assets featuring real people interacting with our products in real-world settings. Do not apply this to flat-lays, product-only studio shots, or software screenshots."
