+AI Scanner Module for IntelliDocs-ngx
+
+This module provides comprehensive AI-powered document scanning and metadata management.
+It automatically analyzes documents on upload/consumption and manages:
+- Tags
+- Correspondents
+- Document Types
+- Storage Paths
+- Custom Fields
+- Workflow Assignments
+
+According to agents.md requirements:
+- AI scans every consumed/uploaded document
+- AI suggests metadata for all manageable aspects
+- AI cannot delete files without explicit user authorization
+- AI must inform users comprehensively before any destructive action
