Discover

What is Discover

Discover provides a unified workspace to gather reference materials for your creative projects without switching between browser tabs. You can search across images, videos, news articles, web pages, companies, people, products, and music from a single location, then organize your findings into reference folders called collections.

Because Discover is fully integrated into the ProMediaFlow platform, your collections form a shared personal reference library. This library automatically connects to downstream platform workflows—including Brief, Treatment, Wardrobe, and Casting workflows. Platform AI assistants also consult your saved collections to ground generated creative work directly in your personal aesthetic and taste.

Getting started

To open Discover and start researching:

1. Select Discover from your ProMediaFlow navigation menu.
2. From the main screen, enter a search query into the universal search bar at the top, or switch to the Recipes tab to start an automated research workflow.
3. Switch between primary views—Search, Collections, and Public Feed—using the main screen options or the mobile bottom navigation bar.

Note on AI Credits: Running AI research recipes consumes platform credits. Discover displays an estimated credit cost on screen before you execute a recipe, as well as your actual spend once the run completes.

Key capabilities

• Research recipes: Run pre-built multi-step AI pipelines (such as content briefs, visual moodboards, or news digests) that chain search, synthesis, and critique into a complete research document in under two minutes.
• Multi-modal search: Search across images, videos, news, web pages, companies, people, products, and music from a single query with intelligent routing and manual search engine switching.
• Collections: Save search results or direct web URLs into named, tagged reference folders to build the foundation for creative briefs, moodboards, and references across ProMediaFlow.
• Similar image search: Surface visually related web references—such as typography, matching logos, styled locations, and wardrobe pieces—to enrich creative briefs with zero manual searching.
• Reverse image lookup: Supply any direct, publicly accessible image URL to find visually similar images across the open web for "more like this" discovery.
• Public feed: Browse reference collections and moodboards shared publicly by other creators in the community to spot visual trends and gather inspiration.
• AI cost tracking: Estimate and monitor credit spend per module and model before and after running research recipes to manage your budget.

How to use it

Searching and building collections

1. Enter a concept or keyword into the universal search bar at the top of the screen and choose your target category (such as Images, Videos, or News).
2. Scroll through the results grid.
3. Open the save panel for any item (or swipe up the bottom sheet on mobile devices) and select an existing collection or create a new one. Re-saving an existing link updates the entry without creating duplicate items.
4. Customize your collections by adding custom tags, selecting a cover image, or manually re-ordering items.

Running a research recipe

1. Open the Recipes tab and choose one of the pre-built research recipes:
   • Content brief: Generates a structured project brief from a target link and optional topic.
   • Moodboard from a theme: Assembles a visual reference set based on a descriptive concept phrase.
   • News digest: Compiles a summarized breakdown of recent news coverage on a given topic.
2. Review the estimated AI credit spend shown on screen.
3. Click to run the recipe. You can monitor execution progress on the real-time timeline display.
4. When complete, your generated research document opens automatically for reviewing, editing, or sharing.

Sharing collections and research documents

• Sharing collections: Toggle a collection's visibility to "Public" in its settings. Public collections are automatically featured on the community public feed.
• Sharing research documents: Generate a secure short web link to share a research document externally. If you need to restrict access later, rotate or revoke the link in the document's sharing settings to instantly deactivate previous links.

Tips & notes

• Search result limits: Standard search queries return up to 100 results per request, while reverse image lookups return up to 50 visually similar matches.
• Image link requirements: Reverse image lookups require a direct, publicly reachable URL pointing directly to an image file.
• Search shortcuts: Searches for "People," "Companies," and "Products" currently utilize web-search shortcuts (marked with a "coming soon" label). "Music" searches currently utilize video-based search routes.
• Public feed browsing: The public feed displays 24 collections per page, with each collection showing a 4-item preview mosaic. Content moderation relies on a manual user-flag and take-down system.
• Preserved item order: Updating collection details (such as titles or tags) preserves your custom item sequence and metadata without resetting your sort order.
