When a file lands in your library, Eagle studies it in the background: what’s in
it, what it says and how it looks. That’s what turns a file named

Narrow results by size, format and source.
A description, a reference image or a few exact conditions. Start from whatever you still have, then keep narrowing until the right file is in front of you.

The right reference is rarely ready to use. Remove the background, sharpen it up or erase what’s in the way, then get back to the work you found it for.
Before you switch it on, you should know where it runs, what it sends and what it changes. Here’s the short version.
The built-in models work offline. Your files are not uploaded to analyze them.
Prefer a cloud model? Connect your own provider, and see which features use it.
AI writes to its own fields. Suggested tags only apply when you accept them.
Existing libraries are analyzed in the background, at your pace. To confirm
No. The built-in AI runs offline on your computer. An internet connection is only needed if you choose to connect a third-party model provider.
The built-in AI is included with Eagle 5. If you connect a third-party provider, that provider bills you directly.
The model downloads once when you first turn AI on. After that, everything runs locally.
No. AI results are stored separately from what you wrote. Suggested names, tags and folders only take effect when you accept them.
Analysis runs in the background while you keep working. You can see its progress, pause it, and let new files go first.
The first release focuses on images. Searching inside video, down to a specific shot, is on the way.
Everything Eagle understands about your library is available to Claude, Codex and other agents you connect, with only the permissions you give them.
