Intelligent Local File Auto-Classification and Organization Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow continuously monitors a specified local folder in real-time. When new files are added, it automatically identifies the files and folder structure, then leverages Mistral AI for intelligent analysis to recommend appropriate subfolders for file categorization. If no suitable subfolder exists, it suggests creating a new category folder. Finally, it executes scripted commands to automatically move files to their designated directories. This achieves intelligent and automated local file management, significantly enhancing file organization efficiency.
Core Problems Addressed
Local folders often contain a large number of disorganized files that are difficult to classify and manage. Manual sorting is tedious and prone to errors. This workflow solves issues of chaotic file archiving and low organizational efficiency through automated monitoring and AI-driven classification. It also prevents filename conflicts by automatically renaming duplicates, ensuring orderly file storage.
