Describe the feature you'd like

Karakeep is amaying ❤️ Love it, and thank you.

Now, here is an idea. When it generates TAGS it often makes duplicates. Why? well AI doesnt know if there are already existing tags that might work.

Lets have an option to include existing tags in the AI prompt, and ask it to - always also include existing tags if they match the content. So the AI should evaluate if , in addition to the tags it generated by itself, some of the already existing tags could also be applied (might even be a two step process with 2 prompts, if 1 prompt doesnt work well / confuses the model)

BEHAVIOUR

Hey AI, make tags

-> Okay boss, here are some tags for you

Great, here are theese tags, see if they should be included also

-> Okay boss, here, theese ones match the content too

(or just do it in one prompt, if that works and doesnt confuse the AI)

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

No duplicated tags - also if something is a movie - every movie will have the tag movie (now sometimes its a hit and miss..)

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

(.. sort of if you do it manually but thats beside the point)

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

This feature actually already exists, it's a bit hidden because it makes the tagging more expensive. We support tag place holders in the prompt, check the info box under this section (https://docs.karakeep.app/configuration#inference-configs-for-automatic-tagging). We're planning to add proper support of this soon.
