File Organizer

The File Organizer is where you'll spend most of your time in Lumy. It's a file browser with the AI assistant built right in.

It has three columns:

  • Left: Quick Access shortcuts to your common folders
  • Middle: the file grid showing the current folder's contents
  • Right: the AI chat panel (you can drag its edge to resize it)

Browsing your files

  • Jump to a common folder — click Downloads, Desktop, Pictures, Documents, Music, or Videos in the Quick Access sidebar.
  • Open a folder — double-click it in the grid (single-click selects it).
  • Go up a level — click Up in the toolbar.
  • Go back / forward — click Back / Forward, or press :kbd{value="Alt"} + :kbd{value="Left"} / :kbd{value="Alt"} + :kbd{value="Right"}.
  • Jump to a recent folder — click Recent Locations.
  • Type a path directly — click the path box, type it, and press :kbd{value="Enter"}.
  • Pick a folder with a dialog — click Select Folder.
  • Search the current folder — use the search box in the top-right.

Selecting and managing files

  • Select one file — single-click it.
  • Select several files — hold :kbd{value="Ctrl"} and click each one.
  • Select a range — click the first, hold :kbd{value="Shift"}, and click the last.
  • Select everything — press :kbd{value="Ctrl"} + :kbd{value="A"}.
  • Open a file — right-click it and choose Open.
  • Reveal in Windows — right-click and choose Open in Explorer.
  • Delete a file — right-click and choose Delete. It goes to the Recycle Bin, never permanently deleted.

You can also drag and drop files between folders in Lumy, just like in Windows Explorer.

The AI assistant (chat panel)

The right-hand panel is where the AI agent lives. Type a request in plain words, and the agent does the work.

What the agent can do

You ask for… The agent…
"What's in this folder?" Lists the contents
"Find all PDFs older than 1 year" Searches by name, age, size, or type
"Read the contents of report.pdf" Reads the text from PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, CSV, and text files
"Move screenshot.png to Pictures" Moves a file or folder
"Rename this to Q1-Report.pdf" Renames a file
"Copy all .jpg to a Backup folder" Copies one or many files
"Archive these into one zip" Creates a compressed archive
"Delete the empty folders" Removes empty folders (to the Recycle Bin)
"Organize this folder by file type" Moves files into subfolders like Documents, Images, Videos

How to use the chat

  1. Navigate to the folder first. The agent only works on the folder you have open — that's a safety feature.
  2. Type your request in the chat box. Use any language you like; the agent responds in the same language.
  3. Read the response. The agent streams its answer in real time. If it's "thinking," you can expand that section to see why.
  4. Click an action card. When the agent suggests actions, they appear as numbered cards. Click one to execute it.
  5. Confirm when asked. Destructive actions show a confirmation dialog first.

The status pill

At the top of the chat panel, a small pill shows the connection status:

  • Online (green dot) — the model is connected and ready
  • Offline (red dot) — the model can't be reached; check AI setup

Stopping and copying

  • Stop — click the Stop button to cancel a long-running task.
  • Copy — use the Copy / Select text menu on any message to save the response.

Safety

  • The agent only touches files in the folder you have open (and its subfolders).
  • Deletes always go to the Recycle Bin.
  • Everything is logged in History & Restore, so you can undo any step.

Try something risky without fear: anything the agent does can be undone from History & Restore.
