Audience
Designers, creators, consultants, and document-heavy professionals who need AI to organize messy local files and find anything by describing it naturally
About Filect
Filect is an AI file search and organization app for Windows and Mac that helps users find and organize files with natural language. Instead of guessing filenames, digging through folders, or manually cleaning messy drives, users can describe what they are looking for in plain English, and Filect returns matching files based on meaning, content, and context. It reads the content of local files on a hard drive, including PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, code files, and images with text, then creates a semantic index so files can be found regardless of their filename or folder location. Filect is built for local file chaos: thousands of downloads, documents, scans, invoices, project files, and PDFs that are already sitting on a computer but are hard to locate later. It can automatically categorize files by content topic, apply AI-generated tags, and organize existing folders into cleaner structures without forcing users to save files into a new system.

Amerigo File Manager
Amerigo is an enhanced file manager that allows you to manage and organize local and cloud-saved files. It's the only app that allows the link of multiple clouds (DropBox, Google Drive, OneDrive, iCloud Files) and offers iOS files app integration to download and upload to any cloud from any app! For example, if you receive an email, you can directly save the email attachments to one of the clouds linked in Amerigo, by simply choosing "Save in files" in the action sheet. Virtual folders allow a group of files that come from different sources (cloud/local): you can for example have a virtual folder with all the files that belong to a project but are stored on different cloud storage providers. The spotlight indexing of all local contents allows you to immediately find and open the file you're looking for, without opening the app! You can also add more than one account for each cloud to increase your space!
