You inventoried your garage or workshop with KontexVoX. Each photo carries the description of what's in it: tools, hardware, products, gardening equipment. Now you want the AI to propose a logical spatial organization to store it all efficiently. Not a list — a plan: zone 1 for the workbench, zone 2 for hardware, zone 3 for products, with the reasons behind each choice.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need:

1. Photos enriched with KontexVoX. The descriptions live in each file's EXIF Description field. See What is an EXIF file?.
2. An AI agent with file-system access: Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini. Not a web chatbot.
3. The photos exported to your computer via AirDrop or the Files app (the channels that preserve EXIF — see How to share without losing the EXIF).
A storage plan is spatial reasoning: what goes where, and why. A web chatbot doesn't read your 90 garage photos. You need an agent that processes the batch and understands the object categories.

What you dictated: an example

Here's what the EXIF of four photos from an inventoried garage contains:

IMG_0045.jpg → "Crate J02 — Makita drill driver, 2 batteries, charger. Top shelf, left of the workbench." IMG_0067.jpg → "Jar of 4mm screws, about 200. Workbench drawer 3." IMG_0078.jpg → "5L engine oil can + WD-40 + brake cleaner. Floor, right of the workbench." IMG_0091.jpg → "Gas mower + brush cutter. Back wall, against the wall."

These descriptions, you dictated while walking through the garage. The AI agent will group the items by category, propose spatial zoning, and justify each choice.

The prompt

Read all the JPEG images in this folder. For each image, extract the EXIF Description field. From the full set of descriptions, propose an optimized storage plan for the garage or workshop. Group items by category (tools, hardware, paint, gardening, etc.). Propose spatial zoning (zone 1: workbench and tools, zone 2: hardware storage, zone 3: products and paint, etc.). Generate a Markdown document with the plan, including a list of what goes where and why.

What you get

A Markdown document with a complete storage plan:

1. Spatial zoning: the garage divided into logical zones (zone 1: workbench and power tools, zone 2: hardware and small parts, zone 3: products and paint isolated, zone 4: garden equipment).
2. List per zone: each item assigned to a zone, with the justification (tools near the workbench for work, products isolated for safety, hardware sorted by type).
3. Recommendations: the AI can suggest improvements (install wall storage, group hazardous products, label the hardware bins).

The plan is a starting point, not an obligation. You adapt it to your space and constraints.

Recommended tool: Claude Code

Claude Code is particularly good at spatial reasoning and logical proposals. For this task, which requires understanding object categories and their organization, Claude Code is the ideal choice.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI know the size of my garage?

No. The prompt doesn't include dimensions. The AI proposes logical zoning based on object categories, not a scale drawing. If you want a precise plan, add the dimensions to the prompt: "The garage is 6m by 4m, with a door to the east and a window to the north."

Are hazardous products kept separate?

Yes, the AI groups hazardous products (paint, solvents, cleaners) in an isolated zone, away from power tools. It's a safety rule the prompt asks it to follow.

Can I include personal constraints?

Yes. Add to the prompt: "The mower must stay near the door. The bikes need easy access." The AI integrates your constraints into the plan.

Can I do the same thing without KontexVoX?

Yes — you can inventory by hand and think through the plan on paper. But 90 items means 90 descriptions to write down and organize. Voice changes the method: you describe while walking, and the plan gets built afterwards. That's why I created KontexVoX: so the organizing gets thought through at the moment you're looking at the mess, not after.
