AI Generated Skills and Recipes
We are excited to announce the launch of Filestar's new AI features, which will help you create workflows faster and easier than ever before. - We are getting closer and closer to our mission to allow you to “do anything with any file”.
Recipes in Filestar is a powerful feature allowing you to run multiple skills sequentially. Previously you had to create these steps one at a time. Now - using our new AI - you can simply type in the search box using natural language and Filestar AI will generate the recipe for you.
Example: "convert my file to BMP format then rotate the image 90 degrees to the left, zip the result and finally save to my desktop"
This feature will also greatly improve our ability to match your intent with our skills as you can write in your own words and our AI will find the best skill to solve your request We are now also using AI to generate completely new skills. For example, when building converters it’s impossible to have a direct conversion for each file type to file type combination. In many cases, we use an intermediary file type. We now use AI to calculate the intermediary conversion steps that will preserve the most accurate representation of the original file on the fly.
But wait there’s more.
We can now also generate code for completely new skills in real-time using AI.
Example: "insert the text 'Filestar' 10 times in random locations and with random colours"
This is a toy example of a skill that we don’t have. Our code-writing agent will automatically figure out that “Filestar” and “10” are parameters that you as a user might want to alter and write all the code for this skill in a few seconds and ship to the executed in a sandbox on your computer. As always - your file never leaves your computer.
Today this feature is enabled for raster images, video and audio files. Next, we will add support for documents. Think prompts like “Take this pdf and if a paragraph contains the word ‘Filestar’ then highlight the entire paragraph”.
We hope you'll give our new AI features a try and send us feedback on what you think. Given the unlimited possibilities, it’s difficult to cover all corner cases, so as you use these features we will monitor and fix glitches continuously.
