Local files, clear boundaries
Give ChatGPT one local project, not your whole computer
AI becomes more useful when it can work with real material. It should not need unrestricted access to a desktop, drive, Downloads folder, or every personal file to do that.
The Workshop is the boundary
Flight Command works inside a user-selected local Workshop. Projects, files, notes, images, decisions, and continuity records live there. The connection is designed to operate inside that defined boundary rather than treating the computer as one open file system.
Inside the Workshop
ChatGPT can retrieve and work with the material you deliberately keep in the selected project boundary.
Outside the Workshop
Flight Command is not a general desktop search tool. It is not meant to browse your Downloads folder, documents, or drive at will.
Visible changes
Project operations have visible results, and recoverable removal uses Workshop Trash rather than pretending that destructive work is consequence-free.
Useful hands, not an open door
That is the point of Flight Command's bounded tools. They let ChatGPT search a selected project, retrieve a source file, create organized work, preserve continuity, or stage a recoverable removal—without silently turning the entire computer into AI context.
The user decides what belongs in the Workshop. The user sees the results. The project remains a place the user can inspect, copy, back up, and manage directly.
Privacy starts with scope
Giving an AI less access than it needs is frustrating. Giving it more access than it needs is careless. A defined Workshop is the useful middle ground.
