## Overview
AI Finder is an AI-powered file management agent designed for macOS users who need to search files by content using natural-language queries. Instead of remembering file names or locations, users type or speak what they need, and AI Finder handles the rest using OpenAI's GPT to understand requests. The tool includes features for searching files by keywords, creation/modification dates, duplicate detection, and loose content matching, plus PDF interaction capabilities for summarizing and querying documents.

The tool is built with privacy as a core principle—all file analysis happens locally on the device with no cloud uploads. AI Finder operates as a sandboxed application, requiring users to create Workspaces that specify which folders to search, rather than having system-wide file system access. This approach appeals to researchers, students, and professionals who handle documents and need intelligent file discovery without compromising data security.
