Build an AI-Powered File Organizer
9/15The Opportunity
No cross-platform tool bulk renames AND auto-organizes files into folders. Plain English rules + AI could solve this.
Original Signal
“My Downloads folder has 4,000 files and I've given up trying to organize it. I spent two hours last week just looking for a contract I know I downloaded.”
Score Breakdown
9/15How urgently people need this solved and how willing they are to pay for it. Based on complaint frequency and spending signals across platforms.
How open the market is. A high score means few or no direct competitors, or existing solutions are overpriced and underdeliver.
How quickly a solo developer can ship an MVP. 5 = weekend project with standard tools. 1 = months of infrastructure work.
Existing Solutions
Hazel (Mac) requires manual rule-building and doesn't understand file contents. Organize by Apple does basic sorting but can't read context or rename intelligently.
Willingness to Pay
Mac power users pay $32 one-time for Hazel despite its limitations; an AI-powered version at $8/month or $49 lifetime would convert easily.
