USE CASE · WORKSPACE

Turn an entire D: drive into an AI-searchable workspace.

You can add D:\ as a Project. Treat it as a large library and keep it read-only by default.

Recommended setup

Add D:\ → keep write permissions off. Add D:\AI-Output as a separate project → enable Edit files + Create/rename.

When is this useful?

When data is scattered across many folders and you do not want to reorganize it yet.

Do not enable write access on the entire drive.

The scope is too broad. If a request is misunderstood, AI could affect far more files than intended.

Performance

Large drives contain many files and make indexing/search heavier. Once you know which data matters, add a narrower subfolder to reduce noise.

Example layout

D:\ — read-only
D:\AI-Output — read/write

ChatCode still blocks common sensitive paths and skips many build/cache folders.

Example prompts

Dùng ChatCode với project ổ D. Find folders related to “customers 2026” and list their structure. Read only; do not modify files.

Dùng ChatCode đọc project ổ D, tìm các file .csv liên quan đến doanh thu tháng 7. Tổng hợp phát hiện và tạo report-thang-7.md trong project AI-Output. Không sửa nguồn.

Do not treat a drive as “AI can read every file type”. ChatCode currently reads UTF‑8 text/code files best; binary files require an appropriate capability or processing step.
