  "account": "Findbox is a local AI file organizer that quietly cleans up your digital mess overnight. Built with Gemini coding agent Antigravity, the tool scans common device folders like Downloads, Desktop, and Documents, and organizes files by renaming them with useful metadata. The open-weight Gemma 3 model runs locally via Ollama, ensuring privacy and security by keeping files on your device. Users can search for files using vague descriptions, and the tool offers a neobrutalism web UI for easy access. Findbox runs at the lowest CPU priority to minimize impact on system performance.",
