How to Let AI Organize Your Files Locally and Privately

AI help with your files — without sending them anywhere.

Quick answer: Use AI that runs on your own PC instead of a cloud service. In Productivity Plus Pack, Tag Sense AI tags documents and images by content through Ollama, People+ recognizes faces on-device, and Organize folder files photos by date, place and people. Nothing is uploaded, and the results are standard tags that File Explorer and Windows Search understand.

AI is great at sorting and describing things. But your files are personal — contracts, family photos, notes — and uploading them to a cloud service isn't always an option.

Productivity Plus Pack uses AI that runs on your own PC to tag your documents, recognize the people in your photos, and help you organize — so your files never leave your computer.

Step by step

  1. Tag documents and images. Turn on Tag Sense AI, then right-click files and choose Auto-Tag to have your PDFs, documents and images tagged by content. The first time, you're guided through installing Ollama and a model.
  2. Recognize people in photos. Turn on People+ and choose your photo folders. Faces are recognized on your PC and names are written into the photos.
  3. Organize folders. Right-click a folder and choose Organize folder > Photos to name and file photos by date, place and people — or By file type for everything else.
  4. Find anything. Open the Search filters section in Explorer's navigation pane and filter by tag, person, rating or date.

Ways to do it

Use what's built into Windows, the tools you already have, or Productivity Plus Pack — they work well together.

Private by design

Tag Sense AI runs through Ollama on your PC, and People+ does face recognition on-device. Nothing is uploaded.

Works with your tools

Results are written as standard tags and metadata, so they show up in File Explorer and Windows Search — no separate app or database.

Your text, your choice

AI Hotkeys+ sends selected text to a local AI — or to Microsoft Copilot or another cloud AI, per action, showing you exactly what will be sent first.

Does any of my data leave my PC?

Not for Tag Sense AI or People+ - both run locally. AI Hotkeys+ only uses a cloud AI for actions you set up that way, and shows what will be sent first.

What do I need to install?

Just Productivity Plus Pack. The first time you use the local AI features, you're guided through installing Ollama and a model. In the Microsoft Store edition, you install Ollama yourself.

Can I undo what it did?

Yes. Tags and people can be changed or removed at any time, and Organize folder has Undo last organize.
