Live Chat Can Now Inspect and Edit Your Workspace

Live chat is more useful when it can look at the same workspace you are talking about. DictatorFlow chat can now call local tools, inspect files, search projects, write changes, and return a normal assistant message with a compact trace of tool use.

ToolUse
list_dirExplore project folders without shelling out.
read_fileOpen source, docs, configs, and notes inside the workspace root.
replace_in_fileApply exact, reviewable text edits.
search_filesFind matching paths and snippets across the workspace.

Conversation mode with teeth

Most chat boxes can explain what to change. This one can make the change when you opt in. The model gets a small set of typed functions, returns function calls, receives structured results, and continues the conversation until it has a final answer.

That loop is what turns live chat into a lightweight agent surface. It can answer a question, but it can also move through the local steps needed to verify the answer.

Visible tool traces

The web chat now shows which tools were used on an assistant response. That matters because agentic systems should leave a clear audit trail. If chat read a file, ran a search, or changed a file, the UI should make that visible.
