Asset Metadata Management

Make every asset easier to find, trust, and use

Gradial audits and improves tags, metadata, and alt text across defined sections of your site and asset library. Agents handle the repetitive work in connected systems while your team keeps control of taxonomy, exceptions, and approval.

Prompt to find assets missing titles, descriptions, alt text, taxonomy, rights, or expiration information

Built for the teams accountable for asset quality

This page is for teams responsible for the quality and usability of asset metadata. Broader asset ingestion, migration, routing, and campaign reuse remain covered by Asset Execution.

QA Agent identifies issues in a product catalog

Content operations teams

Turn recurring tagging, metadata cleanup, and alt-text work into governed execution instead of permanent backlog.

Web operations leads

Improve the metadata that supports search, retrieval, reuse, personalization, and downstream content operations.

DAM and taxonomy owners

Apply controlled vocabularies more consistently across repositories while keeping exceptions visible for expert review.

Audit, enrich, review, and apply in one governed flow

Gradial turns asset hygiene into a repeatable workflow across connected DAM, CMS, and work management systems. Your standards define the work, and your team decides what moves forward.

Audit the defined scope

Choose the repositories, folders, pages, and fields in scope. Gradial identifies missing or inconsistent tags, metadata, and alt text within that defined scope.

Generate against your standards

Gradial drafts tags, metadata values, and alt text using your controlled vocabulary, brand language, and task instructions.

Route judgment to people

Reviewers approve proposed values and resolve exceptions through the gates configured for the workflow.

Apply in connected systems

Approved values are applied in connected content and asset systems, with task history that records the execution.

Keep the standard in the workflow

Run the same governed process for new batches and priority sections so metadata quality becomes ongoing operations instead of another periodic cleanup project.

Less manual tagging, more capacity for the work that matters

Natixis used Gradial for recurring content operations across a large web estate. The published results show the operating leverage available when tagging and alt-text work moves into a governed execution flow.

3x faster tag updates

Bulk tag updates moved from around ten minutes to roughly three minutes per page.

About 5,000 pages a year

Natixis updates around 5,000 pages annually without adding headcount.

2x faster alt-tag audits

Image alt-tag audits improved by about two times as fixes became part of the ongoing workflow.

About 600 hours returned

Across its recurring content operations, Natixis removed roughly 600 hours of low-value work each year.

Your taxonomy sets the standard. Your team keeps the judgment.

Asset metadata is operational content. Gradial keeps the standards, review steps, and execution record inside the workflow so scale does not require giving up editorial control.

Customer-defined standards

Use your existing vocabulary and metadata requirements as inputs to the task instead of accepting a generic tagging model.

Human review where it matters

Configure human review for proposed tags, metadata, and alt text before approved values are applied.

Traceable execution

Use task history and execution records to understand what ran, what required review, and what was approved.

Clear accessibility boundary

Generated alt text supports accessibility work but does not certify conformance. Qualified reviewers remain responsible for accessibility decisions and legal requirements.

Work across your asset and content stack

Connect asset metadata work to the repositories, design tools, source documents, and work systems your team already uses.

What teams ask before running metadata work at scale

Start with a defined batch, route proposed values through the review gates your team chooses, and expand after reviewers are comfortable with the results.
