How it works

From your inbox to your folder.
Without lifting a finger.

Findest isn't an app you check: it's a process that runs on its own every time a document reaches you. Here's exactly what happens, step by step.

Authorize Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox in one click. Connect as many as you use, all at once, and each rule decides which one it files to.

The AI understands it, it doesn't guess from the filename

Gemini analyzes the document and gives it a free-text label: "invoice," "payslip," "contract," whatever fits, which is saved and shown next to the document in your History.

  • PDF, images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC), and text/CSV
  • Scanned PDFs and photos of documents work too

Your rules run, and it lands where it belongs

Findest sends all of your rules to the model in a single pass and uses the one that matches the document most precisely — there's no order to manage. It renames the file with the real type, sender, and date found inside the document, and uploads it. If you build on top of Findest, this is also the moment a signed document.archived webhook fires, so your own tools find out the instant it happens.

If something doesn't go as planned

If something fails midway

An expired token, a moment of cloud downtime: none of it matters. An automatic job checks every minute for documents stuck for more than three minutes and retries them, up to five times, without you having to do anything.

If no rule matches

Findest never improvises a destination. If the label the AI assigned doesn't match any of your rules, the document stays marked "no rule matched" in your History so you can review it and decide where it goes.

Your History, always

Every document Findest touches shows up in your History with the label the AI assigned, which rule applied (or didn't, and why), and a direct link to where it landed in your cloud — so nothing files itself silently.

Questions about the process

What people usually ask about how it works.

How long does it take to file a document?

Findest checks your mailbox every 5 minutes, so a document is normally filed within 5 minutes of the mail arriving. Once a message has been picked up, the rest — reading, classifying, renaming and uploading — runs in a single pass and takes seconds. If your cloud is slow or down, the document enters the retry queue and still completes once it's back.

Can I see why a document ended up where it did?

Yes. Your History shows, for every document, the label the AI assigned, which rule applied — or why none did — and a direct link to the file in your cloud.

Can I reprocess a document if I change a rule?

Changing or creating a rule doesn't reprocess documents already filed; it only affects the ones that arrive from then on. Past documents stay where they are.
