What it does

An n8n workflow that watches a Google Drive folder for new images, asks an AI model to describe each image, and writes the resulting keywords into the file's metadata (dc:subject). The updated file is then saved back to the same folder, so the keywords stay with the image.

Use cases

  1. 01Tag product photos as they are added to a shared folder
  2. 02Search an image library by subject
  3. 03Keep keywords with the file when it is downloaded
