# Aspect Agent

> Use Aspect Agent to answer questions, organize media, and take actions inside Aspect.

Aspect Agent is built into Aspect. It understands the indexed content in your project, including visual analysis, [transcripts](/docs/asset-intelligence/ai-transcription), filenames, [metadata](/docs/workflows/metadata), [collections](/docs/share-and-present/collections), folders, and [comments](/docs/review-and-approve/commenting).

**Unlike [AI Search](/docs/asset-intelligence/ai-search)**, which returns matching files and moments for you to browse, Aspect Agent can reason across multiple results and take actions on your behalf.

These examples show how Aspect Agent can work across your media and return useful results.

## Aspect Agent and AI Search

Use **AI Search** when you want to describe a file or moment and browse the matching results yourself.

Use **Aspect Agent** when you want to:

* Ask a question that requires reading or comparing multiple files.
* Summarize information across transcripts or documents.
* Find content and organize the results.

Aspect Agent may take longer than AI Search because it can run several searches, inspect transcripts and metadata, reason across the results, and complete multiple actions.

## Before you start

Aspect Agent works with information available in the current project. Media must finish AI indexing before Aspect Agent can use its transcripts, visual analysis, and other generated information.

## Use Aspect Agent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the project">
    Open the project containing the files, folders, collections, comments, or metadata you want Aspect Agent to work with.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Aspect Agent">
    Select **Aspect Agent** to open the Aspect Agent sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the outcome">
    Tell Aspect Agent what you want to find, understand, organize, or change.

    Include a folder, collection, date range, file type, or other scope when it helps clarify the request.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Aspect Agent's work">
    Aspect Agent shows the searches, filters, and other steps it performs. Review the returned assets, answer, or proposed action.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Continue the conversation">
    Ask a follow-up question, narrow the scope, correct an assumption, or tell Aspect Agent what to do with the results.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Find and understand content

Aspect Agent can search indexed media, inspect transcripts and metadata, read documents, and reason across multiple results.

Try requests such as:

* `Find every interview where someone discusses the budget and summarize the concerns.`
* `What does the CEO say about the product launch in the keynote recording?`
