How do I find files with AI?
AI file-finding is semantic — describe what you want and AI finds files matching the description, even if you don't know the filename. With Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), connect Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or the Local Files connector, press Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows, and ask: "find that contract from the Acme deal", "the PDF Mihai sent last week", or "all customer interviews from May". Jarvis searches file contents through the connector APIs and ranks results by semantic relevance using a frontier model. Persistent memory remembers your folder structure across sessions. OAuth tokens use AES-256-GCM and EU data residency for GDPR compliance. Free tier handles daily searches; paid plans scale to bigger libraries (Pro $16, Unlimited $32). Runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Most file searches fail because you don't remember the filename. You remember what was in the file. Semantic AI search reads file contents and matches your description to actual content, not just names. Ask Jarvis "find the contract I signed with Acme in March" and it returns a match even if the file is called "final_v3_signed.pdf". Under the hood, Jarvis fetches candidate files from the connector (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or Local Files), extracts content from each (PDF text, Docs/Sheets export, .docx content), and routes the relevance scoring to a frontier model. Results include filename, last-modified date, a one-line excerpt showing why it matched, and a direct link to open. Latency is 8-20 seconds for libraries of 5,000 files; longer for larger libraries.
Install Jarvis (Mac, Windows, Linux). Sign in. In Settings → Integrations connect one or more file connectors: Google Drive (OAuth), OneDrive (Microsoft 365 OAuth), Dropbox (OAuth), or Local Files (native filesystem access, no OAuth). Press Cmd+/ on Mac or Ctrl+/ on Windows from any app. Type a description: "find the slide deck about our 2026 strategy", "the screenshot I took last Tuesday", "every PDF tagged customer-interview". Jarvis returns the top 5-10 matches with brief excerpts. Click a result link to open it in the source app. To search across multiple sources at once: "find every doc about pricing across Drive and my local files" — Jarvis queries both connectors in parallel. To act on results: "summarize the top match", "send this file to Alex via Gmail" if Gmail is also connected.
