Organize with AI

Organize with AI is an AI search tool. A desktop photo and video organizer that indexes media locally and searches it with AI, combining visual similarity with person, date, folder and media type filters. Free for local use, with a one-time Cloud Access unlock for OneDrive, cross-device search and MCP assistant control.

OwAI (Organize with AI) is a desktop application for searching and organizing personal photo and video libraries with AI, built around the premise that your originals should not be uploaded anywhere. Local browsing, folder organization, people detection, duplicate management and offline AI search models are free and require no account. The app builds an index of metadata and embeddings rather than a media backup, so the library stays on the machine where the files already live. Search is the core of the product. Queries blend visual meaning with exact filters such as a named person, a date range, a folder, a collection or a media type, and video hits return the matching timestamp rather than just the file. On macOS the tool connects to a System Photo Library or a specific album, letting you search photo and video moments, sync albums and favorites, and publish smart groups back as albums. OneDrive folders and subfolders can also be connected, with collections, groups and labels syncing through OwAI while originals remain in Microsoft's cloud. The second half of the product is agent access. A Cloud Access unlock adds a synchronized index, cross-device search, hosted inference and local or hosted MCP, so MCP-compatible assistants can query the full catalog and manage collections, groups, people and duplicates through explicit tools. Deletions require the agent to preview the exact files and get approval first. Local-folder removals sit in an OwAI recovery area for 30 days, while Apple Photos and OneDrive use their own native deletion bins. OwAI suits photographers, families and anyone with a large, messy archive who wants semantic search without handing their library to a cloud service. Against mainstream photo managers, the differentiators are offline operation, a privacy-first index and the MCP layer. The trade-offs are real: OneDrive support is gated behind the paid unlock even with local processing, credits meter indexing and search, and remote previews depend on the owning device being online.
