I’m exploring the development of a plugin for Adobe Bridge that enhances metadata generation and file organization using a combination of rule-based tagging and AI-powered local image analysis.
The Challenge:

Currently, digital asset management in Adobe Bridge requires a significant amount of manual work. Tagging files with keywords and organizing them into the correct locations can be time-consuming, especially for users managing large collections of assets.
Proposed Solution:

I am developing a plugin that would analyze selected files, generate metadata and keywords, and suggest appropriate storage locations—all while operating entirely offline. The plugin would utilize:

Predefined rule-based tagging for common asset categories.
Local AI-driven image analysis to generate intelligent, contextual keywords without relying on internet-based services.
Batch file processing, allowing users to analyze multiple files at once with manual control.
File organization assistance, suggesting optimized storage locations based on existing folder structures.
User feedback learning, refining metadata accuracy over time based on user approvals.
Resource management options, including manual pausing to prevent excessive system resource consumption.
Optional automation mode, which can analyze files upon opening folders with unsorted assets and suggest metadata for user confirmation.

My Ask:

Since I am in the early stages of development, I would love to connect with the Adobe team to explore best practices for integrating these features into Bridge. Specifically, I’d like guidance on:

Adobe Bridge API and SDK access to enable metadata writing, keyword tagging, and file movement recommendations.
Performance considerations for batch processing and real-time folder monitoring.
Potential collaboration or official support to ensure compatibility with future Bridge updates.

I believe this tool could significantly enhance the workflow for creative professionals and digital asset managers who rely on Bridge for organization. Please let me know if there is someone I could speak with regarding feasibility and best implementation practices.
