Most AI keywording tools are just lazy ChatGPT wrappers that hallucinate tags
I started as a traditional photographer but recently expanded my portfolio into AI to keep my earnings up. But whether I was uploading 50 4K video clips from my camera or 500 generated images the bottleneck was exactly the same. The backend work. Keywording formatting CSVs and uploading was taking longer than the actual creation.
I tried the usual AI keywording tools but honestly most of them are total rip offs. They just wrap the OpenAI API and give you poetic garbage like "mystical vibes" instead of actual commercial keywords. Buyers don't search for poetry they search for specific terms.
So I built my own internal tool called cyberstock.lol.
I hooked it up to real market data like Google Trends SEMrush and 50M historical buyer searches. It stops guessing and gives me data backed keywords that actually have search volume. It works perfectly for photos vectors and videos.
The real lifesaver though is the automation. I built a module called CyberPusher that handles the grunt work. I can dump a queue of 2000 files or just 20 high value clips and it auto formats the CSVs for Adobe Shutterstock and Getty and FTPs them out.
I’m still actively adding more microstock platforms to the pusher because I want to make sure we can hit every single agency and squeeze every dollar out of our assets.
I also added a settings panel for those who want total control over the prompt data. But honestly you usually don't need it. The engine works perfectly even if you just name the session and leave the settings blank.
I built this for myself but I opened it up to stress test the servers. I added 20 free credits to every new account so you can test the data quality yourself.
Also anyone who jumps in before 2026 starts will lock in the current early bird pricing forever. If you hate the manual upload grind give it a try and let me know if it speeds up your workflow.
