Features
A name you can't remember, a download from somewhere, a copy of a copy, a disk that's somehow full. Seek handles each one.
New downloads get a clear name based on what's inside. Apple Intelligence does it, right on your Mac.
Seek finds exact copies, even with different names, keeps the best one and trashes the rest.

Describe a photo and Seek finds it, even if it's called IMG_4460.

Duplicates + Cleanup
Seek finds what you forgot about and shows what it takes up. You pick what goes, and everything lands in the Trash, so you can always put it back.
