Review this folder and identify the operational issues we need to address.
I found three issues across the spreadsheet, invoices, and notes. I prepared a review with each finding linked to its source.
A workspace, not a prompt box
Work where the context lives.
Open a project and Carmen can understand its folders, help organize the work, inspect documents, and produce useful results without making you upload everything to a separate chat.
02
Read documents in place
Preview PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, PPTX, Markdown, HTML, SVG, images, text, and JSON without leaving the workspace.

BUILT FOR CONTROL
Local context. Visible work. Your decisions.
Carmen is based on OpenCode and adapted into a desktop experience for people whose work lives in documents and operational tools, not only source code.
Put Carmen next to the work you already have.
