“Great content is at the heart of every exceptional digital experience”

AI Assistant is integrated into the comments functionality of the Acquia DAM review and proofing tool, Workflow. Using it, anyone reviewing a content proof can ask the AI assistant a question in a conversational way and get a response in seconds to help spur creativity. Examples include getting copy suggestions to improve the written aspect of a project, requesting design suggestions, getting suggestions for visuals such as images or videos, receiving suggestions based on audience segmentation such as interests or behavior, or analyzing competitors’ content to help ensure differentiation.

Hundreds of organizations of all sizes — such as Crayola, Fanatics, HARMAN, Sargento, and the San Francisco International Airport — rely on Acquia DAM to support creative collaboration, centralize access to content assets, and ensure brand consistency.
