Projects

A project is a shared workspace: a folder on the server plus its own chat with the assistant. Members of the group can work on the same files — directly, or by asking the assistant in the project chat — without giving anyone access to their private home folder.

Examples: a household budget, a holiday plan, a shared recipe collection, a small work document base.

Creating a project

  1. Open Projects in the sidebar.
  2. Click New Project, give it a name and an optional description, save.

You become the project's owner. Only you can delete the project; everything else (editing the description, sharing) can also be done by members you grant read & write access.

The project page

Opening a project shows its page, with two tabs (the current tab is part of the address, so you can bookmark or share the link):

  • Files — the project's file explorer (see below).
  • Sharing — who can access the project.

The header also has an Open chat button: it opens the project's conversation with the assistant. The assistant already knows the project folder and works directly inside it — creating documents, searching, summarizing. Each member has their own private conversation about the project; only the files are shared.

The Files tab

A file explorer rooted at the project folder:

  • The breadcrumb on top shows where you are, relative to the project root (/, then /folder, /folder/subfolder). Click any segment to jump back.
  • Files and folders are listed as a table: icon, name, creation date, last-modified date, size.
  • Click a file to open it in the file viewer (Markdown rendered, images, PDFs, text…).
  • Click a folder to navigate into it.
  • The listing updates by itself: if another member or the assistant creates, renames or deletes a file while you're looking at a folder, the change appears within a second — no refresh needed.

If you have write access you can also, from the toolbar or each row:

  • New folder — create a subfolder in the current location.
  • Upload — send files from your device into the current folder (or just drag & drop them onto the list).
  • Rename and Delete — from the icons on each row. Deleting a folder removes everything inside it, after a confirmation.

Read-only members see the same explorer and can open every file, but the write actions are hidden (and refused by the server anyway).

The Sharing tab

Lists every member with their access level. The owner and any read & write member can:

  • Add a member — pick a person and their access: Read (browse and open files only) or Read & write (can also create, edit, delete and share).
  • Change access or remove a member (the owner can't be removed).

Access changes apply immediately — no need for the other person to log out.

Notes

  • A private project is simply a project with one member (you). Share it later whenever you want.
  • Renaming a project does not move its folder, so links and the assistant's context keep working.
  • Deleting a project removes its folder for everyone — there is no undo.
