DETAILS
Excire provided a closer look at the major new features:
X-prompt AI
By leveraging AI technology, X-prompt AI lets you search your catalog using natural language.
Looking for that "red sunset over the mountains" image you took years ago? Type your description and let X-prompt AI do the rest. It understands context, emotions, and even abstract concepts. "If you can describe it, X-prompt AI can find it," the company said.
X-tetics AI
Powered by advanced algorithms and trained using hundreds of thousands of photos along with data from professional photographers, Excire's AI model evaluates each image's aesthetic qualities. It then assigns an aesthetics score.
GPS integration
With Excire Foto 2024's GPS-based search, you can retrieve images of specific places with a search using GPS coordinates, location names or points on a map. The built-in GPS data editor lets you manually add or adjust coordinates for photos without GPS data.
Custom Slideshows
Excire Foto 2024's custom slideshow feature lets you handpick your photos, tailor the order and adjust the pacing.

"We've worked tirelessly to refine our algorithms—so whether you're searching for a specific photo or looking to automate your keyword workflow, you can trust our AI to analyze your files and deliver consistently impressive results," the company said.
