Work Project

Use LM Studio Bionic for research, writing, analysis, and document tasks.

A Work Project gives Bionic a managed sandbox for iterating on documents and other files. Use one project for work that should share the same goal and the same Project Files, which appear in the right sidebar.

Bionic work project creating a PowerPoint presentation

Give Bionic documents to work with, or ask it to generate new documents, decks, spreadsheets, and more from scratch.

Work Projects are useful for:

  • Researching a topic and comparing sources.
  • Summarizing notes or documents.
  • Drafting and revising reports.
  • Creating presentations or other deliverables.
  • Brainstorming and organizing ideas.
  • Analyzing tables, text, and other non-code files.

Enable Web Search

Toggle on Settings → General → Web Search to allow Bionic to pull in fresh context from the web. You need to have billing set up to use Web Search.

A simple workflow

  1. Create a Work Project.
  2. Add source files or describe what Bionic should research.
  3. Ask for a specific result and file format.
  4. Review the response and generated files.
  5. Continue in the same session for revisions, or start a new session for a separate task.

For example:

Compare the three attached proposals. Create a concise decision memo with a recommendation, risks, and a comparison table. Save it as decision-memo.md.

For slide or report work, include the audience, length, tone, and output filename:

Turn these meeting notes into a 6-slide presentation for a project review. Keep each slide brief and save it in the Workspace.

Working with documents and files

Bionic can work with documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, images, and text files. Available previews and editing behavior depend on the file format.

Attach or drag and drop files or entire folders for Bionic to work with. Files that Bionic creates will be visible under Project Files in the right sidebar.
