Automatically shortlist photos for faster publishing
Second Eyes helps you sort photos, understand the shortlist, and make the final call. For business briefs or personal needs, see why each photo was shortlisted and what still needs checking. You decide what to publish. Explore a real media editorial project involving 404 source files, then try six public sample photos to see how your requirements reshape the shortlist. This demo uses a recorded review. No uploads yet. Would you use this with your own photos? Share your workflow in the comments.
Hi Product Hunt — I built Second Eyes because the hard part of a large photo archive is rarely storage. It’s deciding which few images are worth a human’s final attention.
For this run, we gave GPT-6 Astra a publishing brief and a 404-file source corpus. Astra reviewed the assets it could access, reported 3 HEIC files it could not decode, selected 12 editorial references for IG and Reels, documented its reasons, and turned the result into two human-ready review workrooms.
What interested me most was that the output wasn’t just a list of filenames. Astra completed the whole workflow: inspect, narrow, explain, report failures, and hand the work back to a human.
Second Eyes is deliberately built around one principle: the model can make judgments, but it should never have to pretend it saw something it didn’t.
I’d love to hear how others would use this: creative archives, publishing, photography, brand teams, or something completely different.
