Short answer

How can I use AI to clean up my document list?

Your AI uses Bounsel to scan your files and identify outdated or unnecessary documents. It then removes the junk based on your specific instructions. You'll end up with a clean, organized file list.

The results of a cleanup

Where your files land

This is what happens after your AI processes your request.

CLEAN

Empty workspace

The AI uses delete_document to wipe out the specific files you flagged. Your folder stays lean and relevant.

LISTED

Identified clutter

The agent uses list_documents to find every draft or canceled file. You get a clear view of what's taking up space.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI presents a list of files it intends to remove. You decide if it's safe to proceed or if something important is caught in the net.

SAVED

Kept files

Any document that doesn't match your cleanup criteria stays exactly where it is. Your active work remains untouched.

The workflow

What your AI does when the cleanup starts.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of scanning and deleting so you don't have to click through every folder.

  1. Scan files

    Your agent pulls a full inventory of your current files to see what's actually there.

    list_documents

  2. Identify junk

    The AI compares the file list against your rules, like looking for 'draft' in the name or old timestamps.

    list_documents

  3. Confirm targets

    The agent shows you the specific files it found that match your cleanup criteria.

    list_documents

  4. Remove files

    Once you give the word, the AI wipes the identified files from your workspace.

    delete_document

FAQ

How the cleanup behaves

  • 01

    Will the AI delete my active files by mistake?

    No. The AI only deletes files that match the specific criteria you provide. It's best practice to ask the AI to list the files first so you can verify them.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new folders to organize files instead?

    No. This connector is specifically for listing and deleting documents. It cannot create or move files into new folders.

  • 03

    Does the AI need to see my files to work?

    Yes. It uses the list_documents tool to see your file names and metadata so it knows what to target.

  • 04

    Can I undo a deletion if I change my mind?

    No. Once the AI uses the delete_document tool, the file is gone. Always review the list before confirming a deletion.

  • 05

    Can the AI read the actual content inside my documents?

    No. This connector only sees the document list and metadata, like filenames and dates, to identify what to remove.
