Lay out what's going into a bin, snap one photo, and TidyBee's AI lists every item. Next time, search "costume" or "lights" to see which bin they're in, without opening every lid. TidyBee names each item it sees and draws a box around it. Rename anything it got wrong, remove what doesn't belong, add what it missed, and save. Every item gets its own cropped photo. FIND ANYTHING Search every container and item at once. Type "extension cord" and see which bin it's in. TAP A TAG, SEE WHAT'S INSIDE Stick a standard NFC sticker on a tote and link it to the container once. Next time, scan it with TidyBee and that bin's list opens. No printer, no special labels.
