How It Works

One Capability, Five Ways to Use It

Start with a single right-click. End with a folder that summarizes, converts, and notifies on its own — all five steps below use the same capability, growing one step at a time.

1

Right-click, no setup

Select a file in Filer's Explorer and right-click it. Filer ships with a starter set of document actions — Summarize, Explain, Translate, and about a dozen more — one install away, no configuration needed once they're in.

The same thing, from chat

The same capability is also just a chat message away — no automation, no folder setup, the same result either way.

"Summarize this file in a few bullet points."

Put a FilerAI agent on the folder

Add an AGENTS.md instruction and the same capability runs unattended: the moment a new document lands in the folder, it gets summarized and the summary is sent to Telegram — nobody has to ask.

"When a new document arrives in this folder, summarize it as concise bullet points and send the summary to Telegram."

Chain it with other tools

The same trigger, the same summarize step, now followed by two more: the summary becomes a shareable PDF, then that PDF is what actually gets sent — four tool calls, one instruction, one agent turn.

"...summarize it, write that summary to a file, convert that file to PDF, and send the PDF to Telegram."

Add a plugin, the toolset grows

Step 1's Summarize and Explain came from one plugin (Document Essentials); the Convert to… action used in the last step came from another (Document Converter). Install a plugin and Filer's own right-click menu grows with it, live — same interaction as step 1, more capability behind it.
