Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Lytho

Ask your AI to find the latest product photos in Lytho, put them in a collection or tag a set of new files. It can search and update assets, get download, preview and embed links, manage collections, tags and custom metadata, and list users. Finding and sorting files in your DAM takes a question instead of a round of clicking.

Try asking

“Find all assets tagged 'spring campaign' that changed this month.”
The AI finds the tag by name and lists the assets with that tag, filtered by modification date.
“Put the three new logo files into the Brand Assets collection.”
It finds the collection and adds the assets to it.
“Give me a download link for the original hero banner.”
It searches for the asset and returns a download link to the original file.

What your AI can do

Assets

Search by keyword or with filters, read asset details, versions and related assets, update names, descriptions, alt text and embargo dates, and get download and preview links.

Collections

List, create and update collections, see which collections an asset is in, and add or remove assets.

Tags and metadata

List and create tags, browse tag groups, tag assets and set custom metadata fields.

“Tag these five assets with 'product' and '2026'.”
It looks up the tags, creates any that are missing, and adds them to each asset.
“Set the alt text on the office team photo to 'Team at the Copenhagen office'.”
It finds the asset and updates its alternative text. Other fields stay as they are.
“Make an embed link for the product video so we can use it on the website.”
It creates an embeddable link for the asset. Anyone with the link can view the file.

Questions

What can the AI do in Lytho?

It can search, list and read assets, their versions, related assets and collections, and get download, preview and embed links. It can update asset details, create and update collections, add or remove assets in collections, create tags, tag assets and set custom metadata. It can also list tag groups and users, and delete an asset if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Lytho API key?

No. Your Lytho API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with search and read only. Deleting an asset should be treated as permanent, and embed links can be opened by anyone who has them. Those actions can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Lytho account.

Does it cover Lytho Workflow?

No. This connection uses the Lytho DAM API, so it covers assets, collections, tags, metadata and users. Lytho Workflow is not part of it.
