Every scanner app turns paper into a PDF named “Scan_20260714.pdf” — and then the filing is your problem. Filex AI reads what it scans, names it clearly, files it into the right folder, and links it to the right person or property. Automatically.

How it works
Point, tap organize, done. Everything after the shutter is the AI’s job.
Open Filex AI, tap scan, and point your camera at any document — a passport, a lease, a receipt, a signed contract. Then tap organize. That is the whole job.
OCR and content analysis extract what the document actually is: the type, the people and places in it, the dates, the amounts.
The scan lands in the folder that fits it — or Filex AI creates one. It gets a clear name built from its content, not "Scan_20260714.pdf".
Weeks later, just type "find Luis's passport" or "show the signed lease for Baker Street". The scan is already indexed, named, and linked.
Full feature set
A scanned document is a first-class file. Everything AI file management does — reminders, entities, lenses, search — happens to your scans automatically.
Every scan lands in the folder that fits it, or Filex AI creates one. The structure builds itself as you scan.
Scans attach themselves to the person, property, or organization they belong to. Luis’s passport files under Luis, the lease files under the property.
Ask "find Luis’s passport" or "show receipts from March" and get the exact scan in seconds.
Scans get clear, consistent names built from the dates, people, and document types found inside them — never "Scan_20260714.pdf".
Group scans in plain English, like "all of Luis’s documents" or "everything for the Baker Street property". One scan can live in many lenses without duplication.
Scan a bill, a contract, or a warranty and the due dates, renewal dates, and expiries inside it are detected — so you get reminded before they pass.
Names, amounts, addresses, and deadlines are pulled out of every scan and turned into structured, searchable data.
Scans live alongside your PDFs, screenshots, and documents. One search covers everything, synced across web, iPhone, and Android.
Scans are encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold, shared, or used to train public AI models.
Entity linking
Scan Luis’s passport and it files itself under Luis. Scan a lease for a property and it lands with that property’s other documents. Every person and place builds up a complete file — without anyone maintaining it.

Natural language search
No filenames to remember. Describe the document the way you’d ask a person.
“Find Luis's passport”
“Show the signed lease for Baker Street”
“Which receipts did I scan this month?”
“Find the warranty for the washing machine”
“Show all of Maria's medical reports”
“Find the contract I scanned last week”
The same AI organizes the files you already have — downloads, screenshots, email attachments.

Everything you need to know about using Filex AI
An AI document scanner captures a document with your phone camera like a normal scanner app, but then uses artificial intelligence to understand what it scanned. Filex AI reads the document with OCR, works out its type and who or what it belongs to, names it clearly, files it into the right folder automatically, and makes it searchable in natural language.
Traditional scanner apps stop at scan-to-PDF. You still end up with files named Scan_20260714.pdf that you have to rename and file by hand. Filex AI does the part that comes after the scan: naming, filing, entity linking, and search. The scan is organized the moment it is captured.
Filex AI reads the content, extracts details like names, dates, amounts, and document type, then stores the scan in the folder that fits it — or creates a new one. If the document belongs to a person or property you already have files for, it is linked to that entity automatically. Scanning your passport, for example, files it under you.
Entities are the people, properties, and organizations your documents belong to. When you scan a passport, an ID, a lease, or a medical report, Filex AI detects who or what it belongs to and links it to that entity. Over time every person and property builds up a complete, automatically maintained file.
AI Lenses are collections you create in plain English, like "all of Luis's documents" or "everything for the Baker Street property". A single scan can appear in several lenses at once without being duplicated, so the same lease can live in a property lens, a tenant lens, and a tax lens simultaneously.
