Steps

1Install the Manus My Computer desktop app (supporting macOS and Windows).
2Authorize and specify the target messy folder that the AI can access.
3Have the AI scan the folder and present the organization plan, directory structure, and file renaming rules (such as invoice renaming formats).
4Manually approve each action or whitelist routine operations to execute file categorization, photo sorting by type or date, and renaming.
5After the operation is complete, view the summary of changes to confirm the results.

Ideas for Chinese platforms

This practice can be adapted for content operations on platforms like Xiaohongshu or WeChat Official Accounts, using AI to automatically batch-categorize and rename local assets, image covers, and invoice receipts.

Copy-ready prompt

Help me organize the folder [folder path] on my computer. First scan it and show me the plan: the folder structure you propose, plus how you would rename files like [e.g. invoices as YYYY-MM-DD_Vendor_Amount]. Wait for my approval before moving or renaming anything, and never delete files. When done, give me a summary of what changed.
