    Dynbox.app▲125

    Hey HN, This is my first ever launch! I built a productivity tool that helps you organize your files in bulk, quickly and easily. Instead of manually organizing files, which can be tedious and time-consuming, you can now ask an AI agent to do it for you. Right now, Dynbox integrates with Google Drive, and I’m rapidly working on support for local file systems as well. I’d love to get your feedback!
