See how photography studios and creative businesses use AI agents to help clients navigate SmugMug galleries without manual assistance.
A wedding client visits your website asking to view their photos. Your AI Agent asks for their event name, searches your SmugMug folder structure for the matching album, retrieves the gallery URL, and shares a direct link. The client accesses their photos in under a minute. Your studio staff handles zero gallery-lookup requests.
A prospect asks about your event photography portfolio. Your AI Agent navigates SmugMug's folder hierarchy, lists all albums within the 'Events' folder, and presents them by name with descriptions. The prospect browses your work directly from the conversation. No PDF catalogs or manual portfolio assembly needed.
An event planner wants to verify a photographer's credentials before booking. Your AI Agent retrieves the photographer's SmugMug profile by their nickname, presents their bio, portfolio URL, and account details. The planner confirms the photographer's work in seconds, accelerating the booking decision.

FAQs
SmugMug organizes content as nodes in a hierarchy including folders, albums, and pages. The agent retrieves folder details and child nodes by node ID, traversing from top-level folders down to individual albums. This hierarchical navigation lets it locate any gallery in your portfolio through successive queries.
The current integration focuses on gallery navigation, retrieving folder and album metadata, node details, and user profiles. It provides URLs and paths to albums so clients can view images directly on SmugMug. Individual image retrieval is handled through SmugMug's native platform.
SmugMug requires an API key and API secret, both issued after your application is approved through SmugMug's developer program. Enter both values in the Tars dashboard. No OAuth redirect flow is needed for read-only operations.
No. The agent queries SmugMug's API live during each conversation. Folder structures, album listings, and user profiles are fetched in real time. Tars does not cache or replicate your SmugMug portfolio data.
Yes. The List Albums in Folder and List Child Nodes endpoints support pagination with start index and count parameters. The agent requests pages of results and can navigate through large album collections or folder hierarchies with many entries.
Embedded galleries are static displays. With Tars, clients describe what they are looking for in natural language and the agent finds the right gallery for them. It is the difference between browsing a menu and having a concierge locate exactly what you need.
The agent accesses galleries based on the API credentials provided. If your API key has permissions to view private or password-protected galleries, the agent can retrieve their metadata. Privacy settings in SmugMug control what is accessible.
The current integration focuses on gallery navigation, folder management, and profile lookups. Print ordering and e-commerce transactions are handled directly through SmugMug's storefront. The agent can direct clients to the appropriate gallery URL where they can purchase prints.
