About File Agent
File Agent is a natural-language interface for file operations. Instead of hunting for the right converter, compressor, or merge tool, you describe the result you want and it works out which of its registered tools to run, in what order.
The individual tools, including merge, split, compress, convert, watermark, and more, are the primitives. The product is the ability to combine them automatically from one plain-English request, including multi-step requests like “resize these images, turn them into a PDF, add page numbers, and compress it.”
How it's built
Understanding your request uses a local, deterministic, rule-based planner, not a hosted AI model, so there's no per-request cost and no data sent to a third-party AI service to plan your workflow. Every plan is re-validated against the actual tool registry and checked for type compatibility before anything runs; a planner can only select from pre-built, tested tools, never execute an arbitrary command.
Every file-processing tool runs on well-established open-source libraries rather than a proprietary engine or an external system install. The processing logic ships with the application itself.
Where it stands today
51 tools across PDF, image, and document processing are implemented and tested. Some real-world needs aren't covered yet, including OCR on scanned documents, DOCX→PDF conversion, and password-protected PDFs, and we say so directly on the pages where it matters rather than claiming broader support than exists.
