The AI file organizer that reads your files

An AI file organizer is software that sorts, renames, and files documents using a language model instead of hand-written rules. Traditional tools like Hazel or File Juggler make you spell out every pattern: "if the name contains invoice and the extension is .pdf, move it here." That works until the files stop matching the pattern, which real files do constantly.

With an AI organizer you describe the outcome instead: "organize these by client, then by document type, and rename everything to date_client_doctype." The model looks at each file, its name, its metadata, and optionally its contents, and decides where it belongs. Files that would never match a rule, like a bank statement named statement-final(3).pdf or a contract saved as Scan_0042 with a useful text layer, get filed correctly anyway.

Sortio is built around that idea, with the safety rails the category needs: every sort shows a preview before any file moves, every run can be undone, and AI sorting is capped at 5,000 files per run so large jobs stay reviewable. For the repeatable patterns, an AI Rule Builder turns a plain-English description into a deterministic rule that runs automatically without consuming AI credits, which is how automatic file organization works day to day.
