Project workflow

Install and Update

Use the Download page for the latest published Windows installer. macOS and Linux installers appear there when builds are available.

Packaged desktop builds check the latest published download information and show an update action when a newer version is available.

  1. 1Open the Download page.
  2. 2Download the installer for your operating system.
  3. 3Run the installer, then open Multilo.
  4. 4Use the update button in the app when a newer version is available.

Connect Your Account

The desktop app uses your Multilo account for secure sign-in, model access, agents, usage tracking, and GitHub project setup.

If the app asks you to connect, open the connection flow, sign in, and return to the desktop app after the connection is complete.

  1. 1Open Multilo on your desktop.
  2. 2Choose the connect or sign-in action.
  3. 3Complete sign-in in your browser.
  4. 4Return to the app and confirm that your account is shown.

Projects and Documents

A project keeps notes, drafts, source files, references, scripts, and AI chat context together. Use one project per assignment, paper, or research task.

Word and Excel workflows use document-aware tools where possible, so edits can preserve structure and create version backups before in-place changes.

  1. 1Create a project from a template or open an existing folder.
  2. 2Import assignment instructions, drafts, references, data, and notes.
  3. 3Open the file you want to work on before asking an agent to edit or inspect it.
  4. 4Review generated changes before submitting or publishing work.

Agents and AI Tools

Agents are focused prompts for repeated academic tasks such as research questions, literature reviews, citation cleanup, methodology, editing, translation, math explanation, and study planning.

For best results, give the agent the active file, assignment requirements, target style, and any grading or publication constraints.

If you select lines or Word text before asking for an edit, the desktop app limits the change to that selection until you clear it.

  1. 1Choose an agent that matches the task.
  2. 2Attach or open the relevant document and supporting files.
  3. 3Select only the lines or document text you want changed for a scoped edit.
  4. 4Ask for a concrete output, such as an outline, rewrite, citation audit, or checklist.
  5. 5Review the response and apply only the changes you trust.

Extensions

Extensions add optional diagnostics and writing tools without making the base installer larger. Installed extensions can be enabled, disabled, or removed from your account.

The website extension catalog is available after sign-in and the desktop app reads the same account state.

  1. 1Sign in to your Multilo account.
  2. 2Open the Extensions page.
  3. 3Install an extension, then enable it for your account.
  4. 4Disable or uninstall extensions you no longer use.

GitHub Projects

GitHub connection is optional. When connected, Multilo can help create and manage project repositories in your own GitHub account.

Use private repositories for coursework or unpublished research unless you are intentionally sharing public material.

  1. 1Connect GitHub from the desktop app or website project flow.
  2. 2Authorize the requested repository permissions.
  3. 3Create a new repository from a project template or link an existing repository.
  4. 4Commit and push reviewed changes from the Git panel.

Troubleshooting

The app says it is up to date

Open the app About dialog and compare that version with the Download page. The updater only prompts when the website version is higher.

Download button is unavailable

That platform does not have a published installer yet. Windows is the currently published desktop installer.

Account connection fails

Sign out on the website, sign in again, then restart the desktop app and retry the connection flow.

An agent used the wrong context

Open the target file, include the relevant requirements in the prompt, and ask for a focused edit or review.

Updates are checked against the latest published build on the website. If a newer Windows installer is available, the app will show an update action.
