[Feature Request] Automatic document name suggestions

[nalpo]

Description

I would like a feature to automatically suggest a document name based on its content and previously saved documents.

Use case: Recurring documents like tax reports, Salary statements etc. should have the same naming syntax (e.g. "Tax Report 2023"). Since these documents often have long times between the first and the next one, as a user it is always needed to look into existing files and find the right naming scheme to then use. Automatically recognizing that scheme and suggesting it to the user would help immensely.

I was also thinking that any kind of LLM could be used to suggest a title for a document

I can not confirm that! I played around with Ollama and llama v3b7 and got an very accurate answer for a title suggestion in less than 5 seconds. And there are still a lot smaller and faster models out there!

I also would like to see this feature. For a start, a simple list of the last n documents from the same correspondent is enough, especially when editing documents in the inbox. When switching correspondents, also switch the last n documents.

That sounds very feasible and would be a great help to have consistent titles. This would remove the need to have Paperless opened in an additional window to double-check existing docs when indexing new documents from the inbox.

Yes, exactly 😁 I have the same workflow.
