What is Asseter.ai?
Asseter.ai is a company building tools for people who work with computer graphics assets, and its main public product is Scout. Scout replaces keyword searching with a visual query: you give it a picture, its computer vision identifies the objects shown, and it returns similar 3D models, textures, materials, asset packs or shaders from the stock marketplaces it indexes. A switch limits results to free or paid items, and each result links straight to its page on the original marketplace. Favourites can be collected in lists and shared on the web. Alongside Scout, the company offers Asseter, a digital asset management system with AI tagging, batch import, automatic preview generation and integrations with content-creation software. Marketplaces can apply to a partnership programme to have their catalogues indexed, provided they hold at least 10,000 assets.
