AI-Powered File Organization | AI Automation

Are you tired of managing a cluttered folder structure? With the power of AI, you can efficiently organize all your files using ChatGPT and a simple script. Follow these steps to transform your file organization using ChatGPT and PowerShell.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Initial Folder Structure

   • Before: Your folder structure might look chaotic with all files mixed together.
   • After: Organized folders based on criteria such as the month of creation and file format.

2. Generate a Prompt Using ChatGPT

   • Head over to ChatGPT.
   • Use the provided prompt to generate a script for organizing files. Make sure to include the path to your folder.
   • To find the path:
     • Right-click the desired folder.
     • Go to Properties and copy the path.
   • Paste this path into the prompt along with your organization criteria.

3. Criteria for Organization

   • Example: Organize files by the month of creation.
   • Further, segregate files inside these folders based on file format.

4. Receive PowerShell Script from ChatGPT

   • ChatGPT will provide you with the necessary PowerShell script.

5. Execute the PowerShell Script

   • Open your Start Menu and search for PowerShell.
   • Click on the script button and paste the code provided by ChatGPT.
   • Save the script in the folder you want to organize, for example, OrganizeDownloads.ps1.

6. Run as Administrator

   • Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
   • Navigate to your folder using the cd command:

     cd [folder-path]
     

   • Change folder permissions to run the script. ChatGPT can provide the command to bypass this file:

     [bypass-command]
     

7. Run the Script

   • Execute the following command in your terminal:

     .\OrganizeDownloads.ps1
     

   • The script will automatically organize your files into respective folders.

8. Result

   • Your downloads folder will now be neatly organized by month.
   • Each folder contains subfolders for different file formats (e.g., MP3s, SVGs).
