Hey Product Hunt! π
Anyone else tired of searching through folders for that one document? We made Filer to solve this for ourselves and thought others might find it useful too.
It's a simple tool that lets you search files by content instead of filename, and turn folders into AI assistants that understand what's inside them.
Key features:
π Search by content, not filename
π€ Create AI assistants from any folder
π Everything runs locally on your machine
π€ Share assistants with your team over local network
β‘ Auto-updates knowledge when files are added or changed
π Completely free local utility (no servers = no costs)
Currently supports major AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic (via API keys), and local models. We're beta testing on Windows with macOS coming next.
π Still working on improving search accuracy, planning cloud-based sharing for easier team collaboration, and exploring agent mode capabilities.
We're curious - how do you currently organize and find your files? What's the most frustrating part about file management for you? π€
Would love any feedback from the community! π
