The "SlothDesk" project is an offline AI file organizer created for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 3: Slow and Steady. The software analyzes files in a chaotic Downloads folder and suggests clean, descriptive filenames. Built with local, open-source tools such as Ollama and Pydantic, SlothDesk ensures privacy by not uploading sensitive documents to remote servers.
The program reads the first 250-600 characters of supported file types like .pdf, .txt, .md, .csv, .json, and .py files to understand their contents, then categorizes them and proposes a tidy reorganization plan. A Streamlit UI allows users to select the directory, adjust batch sizes, and review the dry-run table before confirming file moves.
The project emphasizes open innovation, as it utilizes open-weight models, ensuring zero data leaves the user's machine for processing.
