File search on laptop through ChatGPT or other language models?


I'm looking for a file. I wish I had a virtual assistant that knows which files I touched as a user on my laptop. I wish I could just type in (or through voice) ask it "what's that file with that picture again with that goat on the mountain in it?"

and it just shows me my vacation pic of that description and gives other candidate answers.

Is something like that there already?

If it isn't: request for startup :)

you can construct it for yourself, you need to ask open ai api to make:

1. summaries of document 2. tags for document

then save it to db and you can search directly or even concat all summaries and ask open ai api again for search.

you can not send document directly to chatgpt, instead of that, extract text from it with apache tika. and of course, you need a bunch of requests.
