Canto finds your assets.
Daryl picks the right one.
Canto's AI Visual Search is great for retrieval. But after you find 50 relevant results, you still have to choose. Daryl's Post Intelligence reads your draft post and tells you which asset fits — and why.
Answers: "Help me find an asset"
Type a description, browse results, scroll through the library. Canto's AI Visual Search is built to help you locate the asset you already have in mind. Great for retrieval. Leaves the selection decision entirely to you.
Answers: "Which asset fits this post?"
Paste your draft post. Daryl reads the message, tone, platform, and brand context — then returns your top-ranked assets with a written explanation for each one. You decide in seconds, not minutes.

Three things Canto can't do
Post Intelligence, not just visual search
Canto's AI Visual Search is excellent at finding assets when you know what you're looking for. Daryl solves the harder problem: when you have a draft post and 10,000 assets, which one should you actually use? Daryl reads your post — the message, tone, platform, and intent — and returns your best-fit assets ranked by reasoning.
Every recommendation comes with a reason
Canto returns results. Daryl returns results with explanations. "This image scores highest because its warm, aspirational tone aligns with your motivational caption, and it matches your brand's editorial aesthetic." You see the reasoning — not a black-box ranking.
Built for the social media manager, not the brand director
Canto targets marketing directors and brand managers managing content hubs. Daryl targets the social media manager staring at 200 approved images and a 2-minute posting deadline. That's a different product, a different workflow, and a different kind of help.
"I'd found the right general category of image in Canto in 30 seconds. Then I spent 12 minutes deciding which of the 40 results was actually right for the post. That decision is what Daryl solved."
Stop scrolling through results. Start knowing the answer.
Daryl reads your post and picks the right asset. Every time. In under 2 minutes.
