File Organization
500 files in your Downloads folder? The agent reads them, understands what they are, sorts them into labeled folders, and renames everything — in minutes, not hours.
Impact
What changes
Without Lapu AI
A cluttered Downloads folder with 500+ unsorted files. Finding a specific document means scrolling through pages of random filenames or relying on system search.
With Lapu AI
Files categorized into clearly labeled subfolders by type and date. Duplicates identified. A summary log lists every file and its new location.
The challenge
Local file systems accumulate clutter over time. Downloads folders fill with hundreds of unsorted files, project directories contain outdated assets, and important documents get buried in nested folder structures. Manually sorting through files is tedious and error-prone, especially when dealing with thousands of items across multiple locations.
How Lapu AI solves this
Lapu AI scans your directories using the Glob and File Read tools, reads file metadata and content, and categorizes items by type and purpose. It proposes an organized folder structure using its reasoning capabilities, then executes moves and renames via Shell commands. For documents, it can use built-in skills (PDF, DOCX) to read contents and categorize more intelligently than filename-based sorting. Every move and rename requires your approval.
Your files stay on your machine. Only relevant context is sent to the AI model for reasoning.
Workflow
How it works
Point the agent at a directory
Tell Lapu AI which folder to organize. The agent uses Glob to scan patterns, File Read for metadata, and Shell (ls, stat) to understand what it is working with.
Review the proposed structure
The agent analyzes file types, names, dates, and content to propose a folder structure and renaming convention. It presents the full plan — which files go where and why — before making any changes.
Approve and execute
Approve individual actions or the entire batch. The agent runs the moves and renames via Shell, then lists the result and confirms all files landed correctly. Deletions always require explicit per-action confirmation.
Try it yourself
What you would type
Copy any of these into Lapu AI to get started immediately.
>Organize my Downloads folder by file type and date. Group documents, images, and installers into separate subfolders.
>Find all duplicate files in my Documents directory and list them so I can decide which to remove.
>Rename all screenshots on my Desktop using the format YYYY-MM-DD_description and move them to a Screenshots folder.

Common questions
Will Lapu AI delete any of my files?
Never without your explicit approval. The agent can identify candidates for deletion (duplicates, empty files), but actual deletion is classified as a critical-risk action requiring per-invocation confirmation.
Can I undo the file organization?
The agent generates a log of all moves and renames it performed, which can be used to reverse the changes. You can also ask the agent to move files back to their original locations.
Does it work with external drives?
Yes. Lapu AI can access any directory your operating system can read, including external drives, mounted network shares, and cloud sync folders that appear as local directories.
