AI File Organizer 2000 is an Obsidian Plugin that uses AI to transcribe audio, annotate images, and automatically organize files by moving them to the most likely folders. It supports text, audio, and images, with upcoming local-first LLM support. Users can simply place unorganized files into the 'Inbox' folder for automatic organization. The tool renames and moves files quickly, providing a seamless file organization experience. Self-hosting is also possible by running the server and enabling the 'Self-hosted' option in the plugin settings. Join the community Discord server for more information and use the provided iOS shortcut for easy access on mobile devices.

Simply move any of your files to the "Inbox" folder and the plugin will automatically move it to the folder it belongs. Additional configuration can also be specified within the plugin settings (e.g. auto-tagging, auto-formatting).

Move your unorganized files into _FileOrganizer2000/Inbox
