Shout out for photo prism, similar concept, with nice ai search, and doesn't need next cloud, just a folder. https://www.photoprism.app/

No affiliation, just a happy consumer.

does it do automatic tagging / recognizing faces / scenes / objects?

Sort of. It uses TensorFlow for object recognition and categorization. I personally wouldn't say it's very reliable. I'm not going to compare it to Google Photos, though, as I never fed my photo library to the latter.

Yes but it is very unreliable. Especially for recognizing kids.

Still requires hosting AFAICT. Would you know of a native Windows software alternative, perhaps? I could probably manage to host Photo Prism or Memories, but there's no way my parents would take the time to learn and set up a server, yet they have decades of pictures to sort through.

I'm a happy consumer, too, but I would say speed is not Photoprism's strength.
