Use Claude Code with your local files​

Open Claude Code in your terminal and try a prompt like:

Use Gety to search my files for all Project Aurora launch materials. Create an executive briefing document covering the launch recommendation, key risks by department, customer readiness for Northstar Health and Meridian Bank, and the revised budget summary. Save it as aurora-executive-brief.md.

Claude Code will call Gety to search your files, retrieve the relevant documents, and generate the briefing.

The finished document draws from files scattered across your computer — a launch recommendation shared via OneDrive, an approval memo on your Desktop, and personal notes you drafted earlier. Claude Code lists the sources so you can verify every claim.

Tips​

  • Gety must stay running in the background for Claude Code to access your files
  • If Claude Code does not seem to use Gety, try mentioning "use Gety" or "search my local files" in your prompt
  • To control what Claude Code can see, adjust Data Sharing settings in Gety → Settings → AI Integrations. Choose Always Ask to review each request, or Always Allow for uninterrupted workflows
