AI Image to Image Tool 

The latest version of the Pimcore Copilot boasts an intuitive interface that allows users to modify images with ease, through either predefined or custom prompts. This functionality enables users to make precise modifications to images within their existing workflows, streamlining content management and enhancing the efficiency of creative projects. Please see below for an overview of the tool's capabilities. 

• Flexible Image Manipulation: This tool offers the possibility of using structured or customisable prompts to modify your images in a way that suits your needs and requirements.

The Copilot offers a range of innovative features that can enhance the efficiency and productivity of your business. Let’s examine how these features can be applied in a practical setting: 

• Creative Adaptations: Change the colour or style of objects in an image to match branding. Ideal for marketing and design.

These actions are of great benefit to teams in marketing and creative industries, allowing rapid and flexible image modifications to keep pace with campaign developments and market demands. 

Filter data based on condition 

The new Pimcore Query Language (PQL) eliminates the need for programming skills to access tasks, making it easier for business users to get the job done. This automation action allows users to filter data objects in their database, enabling businesses to manage and utilise their data more effectively. This user-friendly feature guarantees a secure and efficient setup. Furthermore, the filtering results are automatically saved within the execution context, ensuring they are readily available for use in subsequent steps of your data processes. This streamlined approach guarantees efficiency and smooth data management. Please find below some guidance on how you can use these conditional filters: 

• Data Quality Enhancements: You can automatically identify and update data objects that are missing certain information, with the aim of improving data accuracy and completeness. 
• Enhanced Reporting: Create automatic notifications for critical data points, such as low stock levels, to facilitate timely responses and decision-making. 

The main beneficiaries of this initiative will be companies looking to improve their operational efficiency and data quality through targeted and automated processes. 

Filter Assets: Metadata Condition Action 

Have you ever struggled to find something in a big list? This action uses the Pimcore Query Language (PQL) to select assets efficiently. It allows you to select and use digital assets by filtering based on specific metadata conditions such as: 

• Seamless Metadata Querying with PQL: PQL lets you query metadata seamlessly. Use PQL to filter assets directly through the user interface. 
• Integration into workflows: Store the results of your filtering within the job execution context for easy access in subsequent steps. 

Where can this action be used? 

From a compliance and legal management perspective, this action enables the identification and management of images with expired rights, as well as the notification of relevant parties to update or remove them. Furthermore, in terms of quality control in asset management, it facilitates the filtration of low-quality images, ensuring that only the highest-quality assets are retained within the digital asset repository. Consequently, this action enhances asset management and operational efficiency by enabling targeted, condition-based selection, which is vital for maintaining high compliance and quality standards in asset-intensive environments. 

New features and improvements 

Pimcore Platform Version 2024.2 has been updated to make it easier to automate digital business operations. 

Generic Execution Engine 

The Generic Execution Engine is a new, centralised job management feature for Pimcore. Users can now run, monitor and manage background tasks more flexibly. The Generic Execution Engine is used by the Pimcore Copilot to improve its performance. It will also be used in the new Pimcore Studio for longer tasks like batch updates and exports. This will make the platform more efficient. 

Pimcore Query Language (PQL) 

Another key feature is the Pimcore Query Language (PQL), which lets users query and manage data directly through the user interface. This feature is great for setting up data filters without losing security. It's a must-have for administrators and power users. 

The first use cases of the Pimcore Query Language will be defining data pool preconditions in the portal engine and filtering objects and assets in Pimcore Copilot without custom coding. For example, you can use this query to find all green Jaguar E-Types made before 1965: 

Example: series = "E-Type" AND (color = "green" OR productionYear < 1965) 

Pimcore Platform Version 2024.2 revolutionizes digital ecosystem management with enhanced automation, AI-driven tools, and powerful querying capabilities. These features streamline workflows and boost productivity, ensuring high-quality digital content.
