Rationale
BigQuery is a data warehouse and AI platform, not a file organizer. While it offers AI capabilities like semantic search and integrates with cloud storage, its core function is data analytics and management, not automated file organization for individuals or small teams. It does not offer AI file chat, automated sorting rules for general files, or privacy controls in the context of reviewing individual file actions. It does offer advanced AI models, data encryption and security, and usage-based pricing which aligns with 'usage-credits-quotas'.
