Projects & tasks

Open a project and start a task

Give the agent a clear goal and review the result.

Step by step

  1. Choose “Open project” and select the folder containing your files. For a new project, start with a dedicated empty folder.
  2. The file tree shows your project files; selecting a file opens it in the editor.
  3. In the chat panel, choose an available provider and model. Use Chat for questions, Plan to discuss an approach, or Code to request implementation.
  4. Describe the desired result and any constraints. Mention relevant filenames or attach a reference when useful.
  5. After the task finishes, read the response and review changed files. Ask for the run or preview instructions if they are unclear.

Create a simple to-do page in this empty folder using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Include adding and completing tasks. Explain how I can open it.

Explain this project in plain language. Identify the starting file and how to run it. Do not change files.
