    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!

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore.
