I made a FOSS AI file organizer!

GitHub - TagifyProject/Tagify: AI-powered file organizer

Hey guys! I built an AI powered file organizer! This was my first "big" Python project!

I would not be happy sending a list of my files to 3rd parties. This is not local, it uses an API.
- There: I added basic ollama support. It doesn't currently support images, though.
- Yeah, I know. I'm planning on adding ollama support.

  This is almost what I need for my ancient meme folder
Some feedback:
On white background the text next to the logo is not visible
Add screenshots in the README, it's a GUI app
Requirements.txts for dependency management is the old way, read about pyproject.toml you can merge them a single easy to read and edit file
"Install the dependencies" means nothing to a non-python developer. Direct users to install your project via pipx, that's modern and secure way of installing a python application with dependencies for non developers. Publish it to pypi for even easier installation.
Add a notice that currently it's windows only os.path.join(os.environ["APPDATA"], "Tagify", "config.yaml") will fail on *nix systems. Use pathlib.Path instead of os.path. Use pathlib, I see on a lot more places it would make your life much easier.
I have a feeling that the file icons are not your work. If you copied them from somewhere make sure their license is compatible, and add an acknowledgement.
Keep up the work, it seems like a nice project!
- Thanks! I fixed the file icon licensing! However, I'm not sure will pipx help. I already provide a binary Inno Setup installer. Any suggestions how to port it to Linux? I dual boot - so it would be very useful for me.
  
  Python is installed by default on all linux and mac systems, so it's just one more command to install pipx. From there just pipx install tagify. You don't need an installer, just specify the build tools in pyproject.toml: https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pyproject-toml/#declaring-build-system-dependencies-the-build-system-table e.g. with setuptools: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/pyproject_config.html
  If you publish to pypi it will build the wheel files when you publish a version. That's the easiest way I know.
  Innosetup is windows only. On linux you don't need such a thing.
Also some feedback, a bit more technical, since I was trying to see how it works, more of a suggestion I suppose
It looks like you're looping through the documents and asking it for known tags, right? ({str(db.current_library.tags)}.)
I don't know if I would do this through a chat completion and a chat response, there are special functions for keyword-like searching, like embeddings. It's a lot faster, and also probably way cheaper, since you're paying barely anything for embeddings compared to chat tokens
So the common way to do something like this in AI would be to use Vectors and embeddings: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings
So - you'd ask for an embedding (A vector) for all your tags first. Then you ask for embeddings of your document.
Then you can do a Nearest Neighbor Search for the tags, and see how closely they match
- Cool! But one problem: I'm not using OpenAI. It supports Mistral, ollama and xtekky's gpt4free
  
  It's called embeddings in other models as well:
  https://huggingface.co/blog/getting-started-with-embeddings
  https://ollama.com/blog/embedding-models
  
  Embeddings are not unique to openai.
Interesting. I was thinking about a project for image classification and description, so we could search for our images in an easy way.
Great work. Can you give some examples of how this works in practice?
Tagify leverages AI to automatically generate and manage tags for files
- Well, my mom has a bit of a problem. She has TONS of unorganized images and documents. I'll soon implement the folder scanning: so she can just drop in her documents/photos folder and scan the entire thing. Basically, it's like https://docs.tagstud.io/ but I added AI to make the organization process faster.
  
  Thanks
Ah, Finally someone had the same idea as me, and actually implemented it.
- It's Windows only though
