Aspect includes a built-in AI assistant you can chat with. It understands your library (the content of your files, your folders, collections, and metadata) and it can take actions on your behalf, from finding footage to reorganizing a project. Because the assistant works within your permissions, it can only see and change what you can see and change.

​
What you can ask it

Find and explore content The assistant can search your library, read transcripts, and pull up summaries of documents:
  • “Find clips where someone talks about the product launch.”
  • “What does the CEO say in the keynote recording?”
  • “Summarize the brief in the Documents folder.”
  • “Which assets in this project are 4K?”
Organize your library It can create folders, move assets and folders, rename things, and manage collections:
  • “Create a collection called Selects and add the three clips we just discussed.”
  • “Move all the interview footage into a new folder called Interviews.”
  • “Rename these files to include the shoot date.”
Manage metadata It can create custom metadata fields and set values across assets:
  • “Add a Status field with options Draft, In Review, and Approved.”
  • “Mark everything in this folder as Approved.”
Share and collaborate It can create and manage share links, leave comments, and search existing comments:
  • “Create a view-only share link for this collection that expires in 30 days.”
  • “What feedback have people left on this cut?”
Manage projects and people It can create and update projects, and add or remove people:
  • “Create a new project called Fall Campaign.”
  • “Who has access to this project?”

​
It asks before changing anything

The assistant never modifies your library silently. Before it takes an action with side effects (deleting assets, moving files, changing permissions, creating share links), it shows you exactly what it’s about to do and waits for your approval. You can approve or reject each action. Reading and searching don’t need approval, so questions are always answered immediately.
If you find yourself approving the same kind of action repeatedly, you can adjust your approval preferences so trusted actions run without asking each time.

​
Conversations are saved

Every conversation with the assistant is saved, so you can leave and pick up where you left off. Each conversation gets a title automatically, making it easy to find a past discussion and the actions that came out of it.

Tips for good results

  • Be specific about scope. “Tag the clips in the Interviews folder” works better than “tag my clips.”
  • Work in steps. Ask it to find the content first, review the results, then ask it to act on them.
  • Use it for bulk work. Setting metadata on fifty assets or building a collection from search results is where the assistant saves the most time.
