Introduction

Album AI is an experimental project that uses the recently released gpt-4o-mini and Haiku as a visual model to automatically identify metadata from image files in the album. It then leverages RAG technology to enable conversations with the album.

It can be used as a traditional photo album or as an image knowledge base to assist LLM in content generation.

Story

As a photography enthusiast facing terabytes of photos, I often felt overwhelmed. All existing photo management software required extra effort to maintain. Haiku and the newly released gpt-4o-mini gave me hope. So I decided to implement it immediately. My partner and I created the first version in less than 24 hours.

We hope you'll like it too. We welcome any praise or criticism. Don't forget to give us a ⭐️ or share to let more people know about it.

Features

  • Automatically discover images in the album, using a PgSQL database for storage.
  • Utilize GPT-4-o-mini to automatically generate metadata for images.
  • Use OpenAI's Embedding API for metadata vectorization.
  • Provide two APIs:
    • Search: A traditional Search API that takes a query and returns the most relevant images.
    • Chat: A RAG API that takes a query, retrieves images, and generates responses.
  • One-click deployment to platforms like Render that support Docker container deployment.
  • A permissive open-source license allows for integration and modification (please contact us for commercial use).
