Intelligent Local Folder Auto-Organizer Assistant

Workflow Name

Intelligent Local Folder Auto-Organizer Assistant

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow continuously monitors specified local folders for newly added files in real-time. Leveraging Mistral AI’s intelligent analysis of file names, it classifies files and automatically moves them into corresponding subfolders. If the target subfolder does not exist, the system can intelligently suggest and create it. The entire process is highly automated and efficient, significantly reducing the tedious manual steps involved in file organization.

Core Problems Addressed

Traditional local file organization is often cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when dealing with large volumes of disorganized files, making quick classification and management difficult. This workflow, assisted by AI, achieves automatic file classification and relocation, greatly enhancing file management efficiency while minimizing human errors and time wastage.

Application Scenarios

• Automatic organization of personal or team shared folders
• Classification and management of frequently downloaded or generated files in daily office work
• Automated file classification and archiving on servers or workstations
• Situations requiring regular cleanup and organization of local file directories

Main Process Steps

1. Monitor Target Folder: Use a local file trigger to listen for new file addition events in the target directory in real-time.
2. Retrieve Current Directory File and Folder List: Execute system commands to obtain the list of files and subfolders in the current directory.
3. Data Structuring: Convert command output into arrays of files and folders for easier subsequent processing.
4. Check for Files to Organize: Proceed only if files are detected for organization.
5. Invoke Mistral AI for Intelligent Classification: The AI analyzes file names and existing folders to determine file categorization and suggests creating new folders if necessary.
6. Parse AI Output: Structure the classification suggestions returned by the AI.
7. Execute File Move Operations: Based on AI recommendations, use system commands to move files into the corresponding subfolders. If duplicate file names occur, append random suffixes to avoid overwriting.
