Explore: AI-Powered Innovation for Your DAM

The artificial intelligence landscape is evolving rapidly, and its potential to transform digital asset management is undeniable. But knowing where to start—and which AI tools will actually deliver value for your organization—requires expertise, testing, and strategic thinking.

That’s where AVP’s Explore service comes in.

Explore is designed for organizations that want to harness AI’s potential within their digital asset management ecosystem but need guidance cutting through the noise. We help you identify genuine opportunities, evaluate emerging tools, and develop custom solutions that address your specific challenges.

Whether you’re curious about AI-powered auto-tagging, intelligent search capabilities, automated workflow optimization, or entirely new possibilities you haven’t considered yet, Explore provides the strategic framework and hands-on testing you need to make informed decisions.

What’s Included in Explore

AI Opportunity Identification

We start by understanding your organization’s unique workflows, pain points, and goals. Through collaborative discovery sessions, we analyze your current DAM environment and identify where AI can create the most meaningful impact. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about finding practical applications that will improve efficiency, reduce manual work, and enhance the user experience for your team.

Our opportunity identification process examines:

  • Metadata generation and enrichment possibilities
  • Search and discovery enhancements
  • Automated quality control and asset validation
  • Workflow automation and routing intelligence
  • Content creation and adaptation opportunities
  • Rights management and compliance monitoring

We prioritize opportunities based on potential ROI, implementation complexity, and alignment with your strategic objectives.

Evaluate & Pilot AI Tools

The AI marketplace is crowded with vendors making bold promises. We cut through the marketing hype and conduct rigorous, practical evaluations of tools that might fit your needs.

Our pilot programs test AI solutions in real-world conditions using your actual assets and workflows. We measure performance against defined success criteria, assess integration requirements, evaluate costs, and identify any limitations or risks before you commit to a full implementation.

This hands-on approach means you’ll have concrete data and firsthand experience to inform your decision-making—no guesswork required.

Design & Prototype Custom Solutions

Sometimes the right solution doesn’t exist on the market yet. When off-the-shelf tools can’t address your specific challenges, we design and prototype custom AI solutions tailored to your organization.

Our team works with you to conceptualize innovative approaches, develop proof-of-concept prototypes, and validate feasibility before moving to full development. This might include custom auto-tagging models trained on your taxonomy, intelligent asset recommendation engines, automated workflow decision trees, or specialized tools for your industry’s unique requirements.

We focus on creating solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing DAM platform and technology stack, ensuring they enhance rather than complicate your operations.

Why Explore Matters Now

AI capabilities are advancing monthly, not yearly. Organizations that establish their AI strategy now will have a significant competitive advantage in speed to market, content quality, and operational efficiency.

But rushing into AI adoption without proper evaluation leads to wasted resources, disappointed stakeholders, and missed opportunities. Explore gives you the strategic foundation and practical insights to move forward confidently.

Who Benefits from Explore

Explore is ideal for organizations that:

  • Want to leverage AI but aren’t sure where to start
  • Need objective evaluation of AI vendors and tools
  • Have unique requirements that demand custom solutions
  • Want to pilot AI capabilities before committing to enterprise implementations
  • Seek to build internal support for AI initiatives with proven results
