Describe the feature you'd like

AI can make multiple similar tags, which adds to the redundancy and renders tags kind useless when searching in the long run. Instead of starting from scratch every time, it should have a dynamic list of existing tags, and it would pick from it first before deciding generating new tags is needed.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

"Cooking" "Cooking tips"
"Shawarma" "Beef shawarma"
"Food" "food"

The second column is redundant. If AI had access to existing list would have picked those instead of creating new similar ones.

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

You have to manually check constantly, which kinda defeats the purpose of having an auto-tagger AI.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

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

Additional context

No response

You can achieve this today in a kinda hacky way (search this page https://docs.karakeep.app/configuration for $userTags). But the more general way, is a duplicate of #111
