AI is now everywhere
in basehead.
The new AI Agent panel bolts three operational AI tabs into the side of basehead — Ask, Scene Builder, and Skills. Together they answer your questions, plan your scenes, and write your metadata in bulk. No more digging menus. No more keyword brainstorms. No more clicking through a thousand files to tag them by hand.
MEET T-2000.
Not your mother’s chatbot.
Trained on basehead’s actual source code. Knows where every feature lives.
A chatbot that is program-aware.
The Ask tab is a fully program-aware AI assistant that lives inside basehead. Trained on the actual source code — not just the docs — it knows where every feature lives, every menu, every shortcut, every setting.
Ask a question and the answer comes back with clickable pill buttons that jump straight to the right place in the program — or run the function for you on the spot. Operational AI Help, baked into the app.

in seconds.
Reference image in. SFX search terms + categories out.
One click to Tab Clusters, Collection Folders, or Taglists.
Scene Builder.
Drop a reference image (or a description) into the Scene Builder tab. basehead reads it, figures out what’s on screen, and generates AI-driven SFX search terms and whole category buckets you’d otherwise have to brainstorm yourself.
From there it’s one click to build the Search Terms into Tab Clusters, or Generated Categories into Collection Folders or Taglists — so the whole scene is laid out and ready to start searching or adding files to.

Create, fix & tag metadata at scale.
New AI Skills.
Five built-in AI Skills you can run across a whole selection — not just one trick. Pick a Skill from the dropdown, hit go, and watch the metadata get done in bulk:
- Metadata Tag Creator — listens to audio (or reads filenames + descriptions) and writes back tags + descriptions.
- UCS Category Matcher — classifies records into a UCS Category / Subcategory.
- SQL Database Commander — describe an edit in plain English, get a scoped SQLite statement to review and Apply.
- Translate to another Language — translate any field.
- The Cleaner (The Wolf) — tidies spacing, punctuation, spelling, grammar.
The Generator panel — voice + sfx via ElevenLabs.
While the AI Agent panel handles the smart-assistant side of the program, the existing Generator panel handles audio creation itself. Powered by ElevenLabs, it generates voice-overs, sound effects, and other audio assets right inside basehead — no second app, no exporting, no re-importing.
Type a prompt, hit generate, drop the result straight into a record.

All of the above runs against third-party AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, ElevenLabs). You’ll add your own API key for whichever providers you want to use in Options → API Keys — most have a free tier to get started, and you only pay for what you use. Full setup walkthrough →
