Co-do 是一款創新的瀏覽器工具，利用檔案系統存取 API，讓使用者能透過 AI 直接在瀏覽器中操作本機檔案。該工具提醒使用者注意資料可能與第三方 AI 供應商共享，並強調備份檔案的重要性。
No WebAssembly tools installed
Co-do was inspired by Cowork by Anthropic.
I wanted to explore the possibilities of file manipulation directly in the browser using modern web APIs.
Chrome (and other Chromium-based browsers) provide the File System Access API, which allows web applications
to read and modify files on your local file system. This powerful feature is carefully sandboxed—access is limited
to only the directory you explicitly select, with no way to escape that sandbox (in theory).
File Modifications: While sandboxed to your selected directory, this tool uses AI to make real changes to your files.
Always work on files you have backed up, and carefully review any changes the AI suggests before approving them.
Data Sharing: The contents of your files are sent to third-party AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google) for processing.
Your data leaves your computer and is transmitted over the internet. Do not use this tool with sensitive, confidential, or proprietary information.
Use at your own risk.
When you select a folder and interact with Co-do, the contents of your files will be transmitted to your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google) for processing.
Only proceed if you understand and accept these risks.
