AI Bulk Tagging

Transcript:

In this video, we're going to discuss the bulk tagging tool in Dewey. Let's assume you have a large number of bookmarks; in my test example, I have about eight, but if you're dealing with thousands, manually tagging them can become quite cumbersome and time-consuming. It's a shame to give up on organizing all your bookmarks in Dewey, so we created a bulk tagging tool that incorporates a bit of AI to help with this task.

The bulk tagging tool is accessible via a button on the top right corner of the interface. When you click it, you'll be prompted to enter some information to assist the tagging wizard. Initially, it asks for a few tag suggestions. While this step is optional, providing a few tags that roughly match the content of your bookmarks can significantly improve the AI's accuracy. For example, you might input tags like 'real estate', 'science', and 'art'. You can also limit the number of words per tag to two and set a cap on the total number of tags; I find 15 to be a sufficient number.

After setting your preferences, you'll click a button to generate a sample set of tags. This doesn't apply the tags to all your bookmarks immediately but shows you a few examples to ensure the suggestions are on the right track. For instance, the AI might tag a bookmark related to a radio engineer under 'science', which is appropriate. However, it might mislabel a thread about interesting places as 'real estate', which would be incorrect. In such cases, you can adjust the results by adding more accurate tags, like 'travel', to improve the AI's suggestions.

Once satisfied with the sample, you proceed to apply the tags to all your bookmarks. The system will analyze your bookmarks, which might take some time depending on the total number you have. In this example, I only have eight bookmarks, but for those with thousands, the process will naturally take longer. Patience is key here. Once the process completes, refreshing the page will show all bookmarks neatly tagged and organized on the left-hand side of the panel, making them much easier to manage and access.
