Square images and content aware fill action

Question

I want to downsize all my vertical images which are way bigger than the size I want(1000px by 1000px).

How I can create actions which automate this process to bulk square all these images, content aware fill the right/left bars that creates when images squared.

Please suggest actions that retains maximum quality and colors do not get changed.

Here is another version which creates much better results, using Generative Fill from Photoshop 2024 (not compatible with earlier versions):

One way is similar to the following:

You can download the action here, which presumes a flattened Background:

You may wish to add a flatten step at the end.
