Folders

Instead of attaching the same files to every chat, create a folder once, add the files you need, and open it from chat with Work in a folder. The model can read the files in the folder, help you compare or update them, and save generated files back when you have edit access. Use Folders for active work: preparing a report with source material, reviewing a set of spreadsheets, collecting files for a project, or creating deliverables with your team. Use Knowledge bases when you want semantic search across a larger document collection.

​

Work in a folder from chat

Folders are most useful when the same set of files belongs to an ongoing task. Select a folder in chat, then ask the model to work with the files inside it. For example, you can ask Langdock to:

• Prepare a weekly meeting from the agenda, project updates, feedback, and previous notes
• Summarize a spreadsheet and draft follow-up notes
• Create a presentation from files in the folder
• Update a document and save the result back to the folder

Any files in the selected folder are available to the chat. If you are an Editor or Owner of a folder, files generated in the chat can also be saved back to the folder.

​

Create a folder and add files

You can create Folders from the Library. Open the Library from the left sidebar, find the Folders section, and click Create folder. To find an existing folder, use the search field next to Create folder. It filters the list by name as you type. After you create a folder, add files from your computer or move files from Recent Files. Folders are built for files you actively work with in Langdock, including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, and generated files. The model can visually analyze images in a folder, for example to describe a screenshot or read a diagram.

​

Share work with the right people

You can share folders with individuals, groups, or your entire workspace. Use Viewer access when someone should use files as context, and Editor access when they should also add, remove, or save files to your folder. Workspace admins have full control over all Folders. When a Folder is linked to a Project, the Project controls who can access the Folder. Such Folders cannot be shared separately.

​

Choosing the right setup

Folders work best when you are actively working with a set of files. Use the options below when you want to collaborate on those files, give an Agent reference material, or search across a larger document collection.

​

Use a Project to collaborate on files

Use a Project when several people should work with the same folder together. Everyone in the Project can use the project files as shared context in chat, and people with edit access can add files or save generated files back to the project folder. You link a folder from the project itself with Work in a folder, either selecting an existing folder or creating a new one. Use a Library Folder when the files should stay independent from a Project and be reused across different chats.

​

Attach a Folder to an Agent for reference

Attach a Folder to an Agent when it should read from the same set of files while answering. You manage the Folder, and the Agent uses the files as context for questions, project work, or recurring tasks. It cannot change files or save generated files back to the Folder.

​

Use a Knowledge base for search

Use a Knowledge base when you need to find specific information across many documents. The model searches the Knowledge base for the most relevant sections and uses them as reference. Use a Folder when you want to work with files directly. Use a Knowledge base when you want to search a larger collection for the right answer.
