// DETECTED CONTEXT

FILEFORGE analyses your folder structure, filenames, and metadata to understand what these files are for — not just what type they are. These signals feed into the AI to produce meaningful, purpose-based folder groups.

ANALYSING

WHAT AI DOES:
Reads: filenames, folder paths, extensions, dates, sizes — nothing else.

Asks: "What is this file FOR?" not "what type is it?"

Groups by purpose and context: client projects, trip photos, dev work, research, etc.
