Ask HN: Help finding a smart file organizer that uses a local LLM

Does this exist? I’m looking for a tool where I point it at a folder and it runs all of the files through a local LLM and then spits out a nice organized layout (and optionally moves/organizes all the files). I found this open source version (https://github.com/QiuYannnn/Local-File-Organizer) which I think in theory is what I’m looking for but it doesn’t really work well (it crashed on my files and was hard to install).

Ideal feature set:

  - Entirely local, no sending my files anywhere

  - Can run on my MacBook pro

  - Handles most file types, including audio, images, text, PDF, etc

  - Can be commercial, I’d be willing to pay 10-20 bucks or so for it
Nice to have:

  - Can handle a fairly large number of files (1k-10k)

  - Doesn’t take a million years to run

  - Doesn’t require a monthly subscription

  - Easy to use and setup

  - Cross platform (works on windows/linux with a GPU)
I want this badly enough that I might just build it myself if it doesn’t already exist.
