Pexels, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Pexels account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Pexels is

Pexels offers a free API that provides access to a vast library of high-quality photos and videos, enabling seamless integration into applications and websites.

You paste in a key from your own Pexels account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Pexels whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Pexels.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Pexels. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Pexels account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Pexels account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Pexels and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about Pexels

Can an AI employee really work inside Pexels?
Yes. It signs in to your own Pexels account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of Pexels?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Pexels, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Pexels account?
You paste in a key from your own Pexels account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Pexels whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Pexels?
It has 8 ready-made tools in Pexels today, among them Featured Collections, Get Collection Media and Get Curated Photos. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Pexels and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Pexels and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Pexels?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Pexels is written down with what it did and when.
