What you'll do
In the desktop app, grant a folder, then ask AshnaAI to zip it. zipLocalFileOrFolder uses persisted grants so you are not asked to pick the same folder every time.
This guide walks through zip folder in AshnaAI. You stay in chat. You do not need a separate desktop of buttons for each file job.
Before you start
Open AshnaAI and start a new chat.
This job needs the desktop app. Download it from ashna.ai/download, install it, and sign in with the same account.
Have your text file ready to attach, or use a file you already uploaded in this chat.
How to zip folder
Follow the steps below in order. Confirm in chat before AshnaAI sends, posts, or writes to Tally.
Step 1. Install desktop
Download AshnaAI desktop and sign in.
Step 2. Grant the folder
Allow Downloads or the project folder once.
Step 3. Ask to zip
Ask: zip this folder to archive.zip in the same grant.
Keep in mind
This requires the desktop app. The browser cannot zip your disk.
