Cavok meets AI – Working smarter with full control you’re your data

Cavok meets AI – Working smarter with full control you’re your data

The new AI option for Cavok is now available – clever, fast and 100% local.

Digital Asset Management is evolving. With artificial intelligence, searching becomes finding – and image management turns into a true productivity booster, all while keeping full sovereignty over your data.


But do we really know what happens to our data when we use external or integrated AI features?

In many systems, sensitive content quietly ends up in the cloud – analysed on external servers, stored beyond our control. In professional environments, this can have serious consequences: legal risks, data protection breaches, loss of control.


Cavok does it differently.

The new AI extension works entirely locally – no cloud, no external access, no compromises. All data remains securely within your own system.



Why use AI in Cavok? Because your time is too valuable to waste.

Anyone who works with large image libraries on a daily basis knows the problem: finding the right asset often takes more time than it should. Now AI takes over – just the way you want it: Intuitive. Precise. Local.

Artificial intelligence recognises image content, locations and even faces. The free-text search understands what you mean, even without keywords. Instead of endless scrolling, you get the right result within seconds – straight from your own library.



What the new AI extension offers:


🔎 Flexible free-text search

Describe what you're looking for – and the AI delivers.
Whether it's "people on a marketplace at sunset" or "green landscape with mountains": the new AI feature understands the context, recognises content and shows relevant images – even when dealing with huge amounts of data.


🧠 Smart person and face recognition

Just one image – and the search is underway.
Upload a reference photo to find matching or similar faces in your database. Perfect for editorial teams, agencies, or any situation where people matter.


📍 GPS search & editor

Filter images by location – completely automatically.
Whether it's "Paris," the "Eiffel Tower" or the "Alps": the AI recognises landmarks and shows where a photo was taken. With geotagging and OpenStreetMap pins, you can mark capture locations – even afterwards.



What's behind the technology?

This is made possible by the Excire engine from Pattern Recognition Company GmbH – developed in Germany, trained on millions of images, and specialised in smart image recognition. Cavok now uses this proven technology – taking Cavok to a whole new level.



Data protection? Fully under control.

AI with maximum data protection


No cloud, no risk:

Cavok and Excire run entirely on-premise – directly on your own server.
That means: no external data transfers, no compromises on data protection. If you manage sensitive assets, you can now use AI in full compliance with GDPR – knowing your data stays private.


Smart and secure – that's modern DAM.

A DAM system that thinks with you, saves time, and still ticks every box on data protection? Sounds good – and it is. The new AI option in Cavok brings powerful features straight into your own system. No compromises on control, no messy licensing, no cloud.

The AI extension will be available as an on-premise API from the next Cavok update. Be among the first to try it out!
