AI File Organizer: Let Local AI Handle the File Clutter

Description and use

AI File Organizer automatically classifies files in a selected folder using a local Gemma model via Ollama, offering category suggestions and a preview before moving files.

Workflow

• The user selects a folder.
• Python reads the filenames.
• The local AI model suggests a category.
• The program displays a preview.
• The user can apply the changes after reviewing the results.
