Working agents for your folders

Your file explorer, with an AI that reads the folder you're in.

Ask about the files, right-click any file for a one-off, or leave an agent in the folder to keep working while you're away.

Made with Filer — this video was composed by a folder agent. See how

Chat & AI Search

Ask the folder

Chat and AI Search answer from the files in the folder you're looking at. Step into a subfolder and the answers narrow with you — the folder you see is the scope you get.

Folder agents

Leave an agent in the folder

Write what you want in plain language in the folder's AGENTS.md. Its agent runs on file events, on a schedule, or when a message arrives — and keeps going while you're away.

Invoices/.filer/AGENTS.md
# Filer Instructions

This folder holds client invoices for the finance team.

## What to do

- When a new invoice PDF is added to Invoices/, extract the amount,
  due date, and customer name, and note it in a running summary.
- If asked which invoices are unpaid, check for missing
  payment-confirmation fields and list them with amounts and due dates.
- Never modify files in Invoices/ directly — read-only analysis,
  always respond in chat.
  • File events

    A file lands in the folder or changes, and the agent runs.

  • Schedules

    Every morning, every Friday, or whenever you set.

  • Messages

    Send a message from Telegram, Slack, or email and get an answer back.

Activity shows every run — what the agent read, wrote, and sent.

Right-click

Right-click, and it's done

Pick the actions you want from the built-in plugin catalog once. From then on they live in the right-click menu of the files they apply to — no prompts to write, no instruction file to edit.

Models

Your AI, your choice

Filer is the file explorer. The model is whatever you want it to be.

  • A local model

    Filer starts you on a small model — downloaded once with your OK, then it runs offline. Good for questions about the folder you're in; it takes a moment to load after Filer starts. Pick a larger one for heavier work.

  • Your own API key

    Plug in the provider you already pay for. Filer adds no markup and no middleman.

  • Your company's AI server

    Point Filer at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint your team already runs.

Scope

The tree decides what an agent sees and does

Every agent lives in one folder, and that folder is its whole world: what it can read, what it may change, how much it is trusted. Nest folders and the scope narrows with them — the same tree that organises your files organises your agents.

  • A trust level per folder

    Seven levels, from read-only to fully autonomous. In the middle sits Productive: it writes and edits on its own, and asks before it deletes.

  • Secrets stay out

    Credential files and system paths are denylisted. An agent never reads what it should not.

  • Risky steps wait for you

    Deleting, moving, running a command or rolling back waits for you unless the level you set allows it.
