Show HN: Reloops – Open-Source Frame.io Alternative for AI Agents and Teams

Reloops launched as an open-source alternative to enterprise digital asset management tools like Frame.io, Brandfolder, and Bynder, offering teams and AI agents a self-hosted platform for organizing, reviewing, and approving creative assets. The tool includes AI-generated metadata, version management, share links with permissions, and an API that allows automation platforms such as n8n and Zapier to operate directly within the media library. Reloops aims to replace fragmented workflows across Google Drive, Dropbox, and dedicated review tools by consolidating storage, collaboration, and approval into a single, agent-ready system.

Agent-ready DAM · Self-hosted OSS · License

Search across folders, tags, metadata, status, people, smart descriptions, dates, formats, and version stacks from one focused DAM surface.

Run campaigns through a visual workflow board with upload, folders, filters, bulk selection, review states, assignees, and progress tracking.

Reloops analyzes creative assets and generates useful descriptions and tags, so teams and agents can find the right media without manual cataloging.

Turn selected assets into polished collections with download access, search, creator context, and a focused browsing experience.

Create locked share links with expiration, download permissions, comment permissions, and collection-level access rules.

External reviewers can identify themselves, view shared assets, leave comments, and participate in review without joining the whole workspace.

Review old and new cuts together, keep timestamped comments attached to the right version, and upload the next pass from the same screen.

Create developer keys for OpenClaw, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Zapier, n8n, Replicate, Runway, and custom agents so automation can operate inside the asset system.

Keep organization members, roles, pending invites, project reviewers, and API-key agents in one admin workspace.

Keep the full decision thread on the asset, assign the next pass to an agent like OpenClaw, and let the agent reply beside the team.

Track feedback, mentions, file updates, review activity, and AI metadata jobs from one notification center.
