AI agent for photographers
Photo Cull and Delivery Prep Agent
A gallery selection with the best frame of each moment and every required shot covered
What it does
Culling and sorting takes days, and near-duplicate or blinking shots slip into the gallery. This agent reads the images and groups near-duplicates. It flags blur, closed eyes and exposure problems, and picks the best of each group against the shot list. It then checks that every required shot is covered, such as the family group or the ring exchange. If coverage is missing, it lists the missing shots and looks for alternates in the rejects. It checks again after the photographer's changes. The photographer approves the final selection before editing. Edge case: a shot with closed eyes that captures a real moment is kept in a separate pile for the photographer to review.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
Best frames are picked by sharpness, open eyes and exposure. The selection passes when each required shot has at least one chosen frame.
- Prefer sharp frames with open eyes
- Group frames taken within 3 seconds
- Require every shot on the list to have a pick
- Keep emotional frames in a separate pile
