AndroidSearchAI — Android App

AndroidSearchAI is an offline-first intelligent file search application for Android. It scans local media, performs on-device OCR, and supports AI-powered semantic search via a Python FAISS backend (local or USB-connected).

Features

  • 📂 Media scanning (Images, Screenshots, WhatsApp images)
  • 🔍 On-device OCR using ML Kit
  • 🧠 AI semantic search (FAISS + embeddings)
  • ⚡ Hybrid ranking (AI relevance + OCR match + recency)
  • 🔄 Background processing using WorkManager
  • 🔐 Privacy-first (images never leave the device)
