With Kernel

Bring the help
to the folder.

Give an agent a task in your project. It can read the relevant text files, make changes, and leave the result alongside your work.

One project. From request to result.

From “can you help?” to “here it is.”

Choose a folder.
Give it a task. Review the result.

  1. 01

    Start with your project.

    Set up a project folder in Kernel with the instructions and access the agent needs.

    Website project project-notes.txt · feedback.txt
  2. 02

    Say what you need.

    Use ordinary words. Tell Kernel what to read and where you want the result.

    “Summarize these notes and save the next steps in this folder.”
  3. 03

    Keep the useful work.

    Review the summary in your project. Ask for changes, or carry on from there.

    summary.md In the folder where you need it.

The next task gets a head start

Keep the
work together.

Project instructions and saved learning give future tasks a starting point. Keep the useful context with the work it belongs to.

Want help regularly? Schedule a project review or a recurring summary. Your Mac needs to be available to run it; features depend on your plan.

Find the right plan

Your project. Clear boundaries.

Know what AI can access—and where the work goes.

01

Give each project a scope.

Set the project instructions and permissions. Tell the agent where to work and which actions need your approval.

02

Review what changes.

Read the results and the work log. Approval rules let you reserve decisions before the agent takes action.

03

Choose how you use AI.

Connect a supported agent or provider account, use your own API key, or use Kernel Credits.

Kernel works with files on your Mac. If you use a cloud AI provider, the content needed for your task is sent to that provider. Read about privacy
