How It Works

PracticalKit is an AI agent. Here's what that means in simple terms.

What's an Agent?​

Most AI tools answer one question at a time. You ask. It answers. Done.

An agent is different. You tell it what you need. It figures out the steps. It does them. One by one.

Example:

You: "Summarize all files in this folder"

Regular AI:

  • Can't see your files
  • Can't do multiple steps
  • You have to do the work

PracticalKit (Agent):

  • Sees your files
  • Plans: "Read file 1, read file 2, read file 3... then write summary"
  • Does each step
  • Gives you the summary

You See It Work​

The difference: you watch it work.

  • "Reading project-notes.md..."
  • "Reading meeting-log.md..."
  • "Analyzing content..."
  • "Writing summary..."

Every step is visible.

Multi-Turn Conversations​

PracticalKit remembers your conversation.

You: "Summarize these files"
It summarizes

You: "Now create a bullet list of action items from that"
It knows what "that" means

You: "Save it to todo.md"
It creates the file

It's a conversation. Not isolated commands.

Works With Many Files​

Tell it to work with:

  • One file: "Read notes.md"
  • Many files: "Summarize all meeting notes"
  • By pattern: "Find all files mentioning budget"
  • By content: "Which files discuss hiring?"

It handles them all.
