Create Your First Project
Create a project and run your first task in LM Studio Bionic.
A project keeps related sessions and files together. Create one project for work that should share the same goal, source files, or codebase.
Create a project
- Create a new Project and give it a name.
- If you want Bionic to work with a local codebase, toggle on Allow coding.
- If coding is enabled, select Choose a folder for Bionic to work in and choose the root folder of your codebase.
- Click Create.
- In the new session, select a model if Bionic has not already chosen the Root model.
- Tell the agent what you'd like to do.
Work with documents and files
Attach or drag in files and folders to add source material. Files Bionic creates appear in the right sidebar under Project Files. Project Files are shared across all sessions in the same project.
For example:
Research the options in these notes, summarize the tradeoffs, and save a recommendation as
recommendation.md.
Learn more in Working with Documents.
Work with a codebase
When Allow coding is enabled, Bionic can search the repository, edit files, use Git, and run shell commands in the selected working directory.
For example:
Find where request timeouts are handled. Explain the current behavior, fix the failing edge case, and run the relevant tests.
Review Bionic's diffs and command output before keeping the changes.

Keep tasks focused
Give Bionic a clear goal, relevant files, and a concrete output. For larger work, ask it to investigate first, then implement in the same session.
