Dotient: AI-Powered Visual File Search
Dotient transforms how you explore your personal files by enabling visual search powered by quantized AI vision models. Instead of memorizing filenames or digging through folders, simply describe what you're looking for—"beach sunset," "Dad's birthday," or "red sports car"—and find any image or video instantly. Your files stay completely private with a local-first architecture that never uploads data to external servers.
