TydalGitHub

Open-source Semantic Asset Platform

Control your
knowledge flow.

Tydal is the typed Digital Asset Layer. Turn documents, images, datasets and code into structured, searchable resources. Use schemas to define their meaning and Vaults to make selected content available to people, applications and AI agents.

Beyond digital asset management

From digital assets
to semantic knowledge.

Typed means your resources follow schemas: fields, validation and search behavior are defined together. Find content by meaning, connect related resources and reuse them across different contexts.

01

Understand.

AI can suggest descriptions, tags and classifications from your content. Review those suggestions before applying them, or use configurable approval rules.

AI enrichment with review
02

Organize.

Keep an asset, its supporting files and representations together as a resource. Collection schemas define its metadata, file roles and indexing rules.

Schema-driven collections
03

Explore & publish.

Publish selected resources through Vaults with their own context and access rules. Reuse the same source across galleries, applications and AI connections.

Built around Tydal

One foundation.
Many ways to build.

The same resources can support an exhibition, a learning application or an AI workflow. Vaults deliver selected content from the repository without duplicating the underlying assets.

01Full Frame

Let your collection
take the stage.

Curated photographic exhibitions, browsing and jury workflows, connected to the resources in Tydal.

Exhibitions & photography
02AI connections

Bring your AI
to your knowledge.

Connect external AI tools through MCP to explore the resources exposed by a Vault, including their content, metadata and relationships.

Agents & knowledge workflows
03Your application

Make something
of your own.

Build an experience around your content using the API and SDK—from a resource library to a learning application.

For the people who build

The semantic layer
between your files
and your AI.

Manage resources and collections through the repository API. Build applications against Vault interfaces, or connect AI agents through MCP. Each Vault controls the content and capabilities it exposes.
