What Ishi Does

Your Digital Employee can handle the operational tasks that eat up your day:

📁 Smart File Organization

Tell Ishi to watch your Downloads folder. When files arrive, it proposes intelligent renames and organization:

  • Scan_001.pdf2025-01-Invoice-Acme-Corp.pdf
  • Screenshot 2025-01-03.pngHomepage-Redesign-Draft.png

👻 Ghost Files (Preview Before Commit)

Ishi never touches your files without approval. Every proposed change shows a preview:

  • Before: Current file/folder state
  • After: What it will look like
  • Your choice: Approve or reject

This is the “Glass Box” philosophy—you see everything before it happens.

🎚️ Safety Slider

Control how much autonomy Ishi has:

  • Level 1 (Intern): “Ask me before doing anything”
  • Level 2 (Associate): “Handle routine tasks, ask for important ones”
  • Level 3 (Partner): “Just get it done and notify me”

↩️ Undo Everything

Made a mistake? Every action is logged. Undo any change with one click.

☁️ Cloud Bridge

Connect your local files to cloud workflows. Drag files onto AgenticFlow integrations to sync with 2,500+ apps like Notion, Airtable, and Google Sheets.
