Humans set the strategy. Agents do the work. ResourceSpace proved open-source DAM could work at scale — we were users for 20 years. But it bolted AI onto a pre-AI foundation and still tags images like it's 2016. BETTER! is the agentic generation: not a place where files sit, but a system where AI agents describe, enrich, organize, and retrieve your assets — under your team's direction. Intelligence isn't a feature here. It's the foundation.
| Capability | BETTER! | ResourceSpace 11.0 |
|---|---|---|
|
Autonomous ingestion
Drop a file in — agents title it, describe it, enrich it, and make it findable the moment it lands. No queue. No backlog. 10,000 assets in the time it took to do ten. |
Shipped | Manual keywording |
|
Conversational control
"Find the undescribed photos from the Johnson shoot and enrich them." Say it, it's done. You set the rules; agents apply them. Manage the whole library in plain language. |

Native MCP server
Your own AI agents drive it directly — search, classify, organize, publish with no human in the loop. Agent-operated, not just AI-assisted. |
