Solution Overview

Problem

Existing file management systems require manual interaction or scripts to manage multiple files, lacking the ability to automatically identify and perform actions on similar files, leading to inefficiencies in tasks like editing, backing up, or deleting files.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that monitors user interactions with files, generates tracking attributes and prediction vectors, and automatically performs operations on files with similar attributes, allowing for automated file management without user intervention.
