Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Usually I use tagging very rarely. Mostly only for panoramas and Timelapses.
However sometimes it would be very handy to find pictures quick.
There is LR-Genius and they work also with Ollama as LLM, which can run locally and use this to generate tags and picture descriptions
Such an local-AI-based auto-tagging tool could be nice for dt as well.
Alternatives
I have heard on IRC, that there was something called photilis. I never came across this and donno whether reactivating and binding to AI would be a thing
