This article introduces Sloth Sorter, a local AI-powered tool designed to help users organize files more efficiently by reducing manual effort. Users can select a folder, and the AI will scan its contents, suggest categories and filenames, and preview proposed changes before applying them. The tool can move files into category folders, log file operations for undo functionality, and currently runs locally using Streamlit and Ollama.
The application was built using Python, Streamlit, Ollama, and the Gemma 3 AI model. The project aims to demonstrate how local AI can simplify everyday tasks, offering benefits like more control over data, accessibility, flexibility, and learning opportunities. The author encourages feedback, suggestions, and contributions from the open-source community.
