If you have an attachment field, the Cloud Vision API can quickly classify your images into thousands of categories, and you can extract those labels and save them to a field in your table—meaning that you can tag hundreds of images with just a few clicks. You can also identify logos, or use optical character recognition (OCR) to extract text from images.
