Rationale

Collate is an offline AI assistant for PDFs that allows users to chat with PDFs, generate summaries, and read them. It emphasizes privacy by running on-device. While it offers AI interaction with files and the ability to extract insights (semantic search), and strong privacy controls, it is specifically for PDFs and does not offer automated sorting rules or cloud storage integration as described in the Dynbox concept. The 'Organize Files' feature is more about keeping PDFs in one place rather than automated, intelligent file management across various file types and cloud services.
