This is a Shortcut for Mac that renames files using Apple Intelligence (their cloud compute which is free to use). If you change the text to the image, it works pretty well to rename files of academic articles to match authors, year, and paper title. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/cea00a1ad3394b8dabb52fb4653495c1 I might rig it to automatically rename papers that end up in my downloads folder.

This shortcut works about 90% to rename academic papers. The 10% it gets wrong is mildly entertaining. When it's wrong, it's usually adding a name that shouldn't be an author. For a bunch of papers, it has added my name as an author to a classic paper, which I enjoy.

@interestingmonkey I want to find that shortcut Gruber mentioned that renamed screenshots based on their contents. Was that an inspiration for this?

@lo_fye same guy made the initial version of mine. I just tweaked. I think I got it from caption of his recent YouTube video.

@lo_fye I think what I will do is just take the one I linked to, and add additional stuff into the Notes field. I will say if it’s an academic article rename it using scheme x, if it’s a screenshot do y etc. And then I will have it auto run on anything new in my downloads folder.

@lo_fye and I deleted the context prompt in the shortcut because it’s annoying to ask me a question when it runs. And you can also check a box on the shortcut to make it a Finder Action to have it run individually on files when I right click them in Finder, which works great.
