How does Zush know what a spreadsheet is about?

Zush analyzes the spreadsheet content: it reads column headers, sheet names, and the data itself, then sends the extracted content to an AI model that identifies the topic and generates a meaningful filename like "Q2 Marketing Budget" instead of "Book1".

Can I bulk rename a folder of Excel files?

Yes. Drop a folder of spreadsheets into Zush, review the suggested names, choose a naming pattern, and apply the whole batch at once. You can mix XLSX, CSV, and other files in the same folder.

Can I set a naming convention for all my spreadsheets?

Yes. Combine an AI title with dates, categories, clients, and your own Custom AI Blocks using templates and Naming Blocks, so every spreadsheet follows the same pattern.

Is my spreadsheet data sent to the cloud?

You choose the mode. Managed cloud is the default, BYOK uses your own provider key, and Offline AI mode analyzes files with a local Ollama model so supported file analysis never leaves your device. Only the content needed to generate a good filename is used, and files are renamed in place.

Rename Excel Files with AI

Rename Excel files with AI using Zush to read column headers, sheet names, and data, then generate filenames that describe what each spreadsheet actually contains — turning Book1.xlsx and Untitled spreadsheet.xlsx into names you can search.
