5 Ways shellA Can Boost Your Productivity Today

Productivity isn't just about doing more—it's about doing things smarter. Here are five practical ways shellA can immediately help streamline your digital life:



1. Batch Rename Files Instantly



Instead of renaming files one-by-one, try this with shellA:

"Rename all images in my Camera folder to Vacation_[DateTaken].jpg"

It applies consistent, timestamped names to all your media in seconds.



2. Clean Up Your Downloads



Use a natural command like:

"Move all PDFs and ZIPs from Downloads into categorized folders by type"

Your messy download folder becomes neatly organized instantly.



3. Generate Summaries or Indexes



shellA can extract data from documents and compile a searchable index:

"Extract titles and dates from all DOCX files and export to CSV"

4. Automate Redaction & Exports



Need to clean documents before sharing?

"Redact all names in Contracts folder and export as PDFs to Legal/Redacted"

5. Ask for What You Need



You don't need a manual. Just ask:

"Show me all files edited this week with the word 'invoice' in them"

shellA translates your intent into action, freeing your brain for better things.
