Why AutoTag exists
JFDI has been building on SharePoint since 2003. Across hundreds of engagements, the same pattern kept appearing: clients had carefully designed term sets, content types, and managed metadata columns, but the metadata simply wasn’t being applied. Authors were busy. Required fields slowed uploads. Term sets evolved faster than the people typing into them. The promise of metadata-driven search, retention, and discovery quietly broke down.
AutoTag started in 2017 as a SharePoint Framework solution built to solve that problem from the other direction: derive metadata from the signals already in the content, then write it back consistently. In 2022 we relaunched AutoTag as a cloud-based static web app hosted in Microsoft Azure, repositioning it for easier access and tenant-friendly deployment. The current product runs entirely inside the customer tenant, leverages AI for context-aware tag suggestions, and supports every flavour of SharePoint we have ever shipped against.
Built by people who run SharePoint
JFDI Consulting Ltd has been delivering software and consultancy for the Microsoft platform since 2001. We are a Microsoft Certified Partner and Applications Chartered Member, with two decades of experience across SharePoint Server, SharePoint Online, the SharePoint Framework, Microsoft 365, and Azure.
AutoTag is one of several products we have built from real client work. It exists because we needed it for our own engagements, and because nothing on the market did the job properly. Visit jfdi.info to learn more about the wider company, our consultancy services, and our other Microsoft 365 products.
AutoTag is built and supported by JFDI Consulting and is evolving from a metadata bot into the M365 governance layer for organisations running Microsoft 365 at scale.
