Where's that photo of ours — the one from the summer market?
The photo exists somewhere — you remember taking it — but the filename is a string of numbers and it's buried under a year of later uploads. Scrolling to find it wastes the ten minutes you had.
Search by what it is, not what it's called
Your library holds a record card for every photo: a title, tags, who's in it, where it came from. Ask your assistant to search by any of those and it reads the cards rather than guessing from filenames — "the one from the summer market" is enough if the card says so.
What it can't do yet
Today the library helps you find a photo. It doesn't yet trace every page that photo has been placed on — that's a later step. If you need to know whether a particular photo is still live on a particular page, ask your assistant to check that page directly, or Help me choose the best photo walks through comparing what's currently in place.
The prompt
“Find the photo of [what it shows, or roughly when it was taken] — search my library by title or tag and show me what you find.”

Questions people ask
- How do I find an old photo without scrolling back through everything?
- Describe it — what it shows, a tag you might have used, roughly when it was taken — and your assistant searches your library's record cards rather than guessing from filenames. Nothing changes on your site just from looking; only a change you approve does that.
- Can my assistant tell me every page a photo appears on?
- Not yet — today the library finds a photo for you, it doesn't trace where it's been placed on the site. If you need to check a specific page, ask your assistant to look at that page directly.
- What if the same photo got uploaded twice under different names?
- Search by tag or by what's in the shot rather than a filename you might not remember, and both copies turn up. Titling and tagging photos as you go is what makes this reliable.
