What lite.computer adds

Every AI in one place. Pages from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and any other AI that saves a file sit side by side.
Folders you arrange. With a lot of documents and no filing system of your own, things get messy after a while. Your work stays where you put it.
Files you own. Ordinary HTML in your own folder. It opens offline, and in any browser even without lite.computer. It stays yours if you change or cancel an AI plan.
Old work is one sentence away. Ask any AI that can reach your folder, in a new chat, to update last month’s dashboard by its name.
Made for showing. Tabs, Presentation Mode, and Explode across every screen on your desk.
Watch it build. Stay in your chat. The page updates on the screen beside you as your AI saves it: in about a fifth of a second on the same Mac, and once your drive syncs on another.

What your AI’s own viewer does best

A web link to send. A Site is a real website with its own address, visitor analytics and, where available, your own domain. Claude artifacts share by link.
Hosting and stored data. Sites come with a database and file storage for web apps.
Export. Claude exports docs, slides and designs to Word, PDF, PowerPoint or HTML.
Any browser. Both open on any computer or phone with a browser.

Using them together

Keep the working copy in lite.computer. Publish from your AI when someone outside needs a link.

Say your AI builds a monthly sales dashboard. It lives in your Showspace, where any AI that can reach your folder updates it next month by name. When a client needs a web link, ask Claude Code or ChatGPT to publish a copy as an artifact or a Site.

Sharing a Showspace

Share the folder through your drive’s own sharing. People with lite.computer add it to their own drive and open it as a Showspace. Everyone else gets the files and opens them one at a time in a browser. See Opening a Showspace someone shared with you.
