Auto rename downloads by AI and with your own naming rules
Hii HN! We've built a Chrome extension called Cantrips.ai that auto generates meaningful filenames for pdf, txt, and docs downloads. It has tailored formats for major file types like papers, books, financial reports, etc. For example, a paper is always formatted as download date - title - first author's last name - area, so the filename would be 20250208 - Attention Is All You Need - Vaswani - LLM instead of 1706.03762 from arXiv.

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave.
