Description
Filer is a 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 a Working Agent in the folder. Tell it what to do in plain English (.filer/AGENTS.md) — it reacts to new files, runs on a schedule, or watches a channel. The folder's trust level safely limits what it may touch. Filer runs on your machine with no subscription lock-in. Works with any model: the offline default, OpenAI, Anthropic, or your company's AI server.

Could you build this?
Yes This is a desktop app (e.g. Electron/Tauri) with local file system watchers (chokidar) that forwards file contents and local Markdown instructions (`AGENTS.md`) to an LLM API.
