Revise the protocol on a trail you can read.
For clinical researchers revising approved protocol materials
For permitted non-patient drafting files, keep the protocol and your review notes in one project. Commands run in a sandbox that can change files only in the open project, and reading elsewhere asks first.
What is in it
- A project for one protocol's drafting files
- A local or hosted model, your choice per project
- Reading a folder outside the project asks first and names it
- A version of every text-file revision
- The agent cannot reach your key stores or browser profiles
What you get, and what it asks of you
- What you get
- Protocol draft work with a visible file trail.
- Why it holds
- Commands run in a sandbox that can change files only in the open project and the usual build caches, and reading a folder outside the project asks first.
- How soon
- Start with materials approved for the model route you choose.
- What you stop doing
- No mixing drafting notes across unrelated research projects.

What a chat box leaves to you
A chat box answers. Bandicot does the work in your folders, asks before it writes, and keeps a version of every change.
In a chat boxA model and a text box, with no gate before a write.
In BandicotA trusted harness around the modelBandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.
In a chat boxA conversation. The files stay wherever you copied them from.
In BandicotProjects that hold the workKeep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
In a chat boxClose the tab and the thread is somewhere in a list.
In BandicotDurable work sessionsClose the window, restart, or pick up from another of your Macs without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.
In a chat boxIt suggests an edit and you apply it yourself, so there is no gate to read.
In BandicotA human gate for writesWhen work can change files or systems, Bandicot makes the decision visible before the effect lands.
In our own words
Hosted providers and local models, in the same project.
What is true today
Each line says whether it ships now or is still being built, so you never buy a promise.
- Available now
Any model, one project
Switch between hosted providers and local models without rebuilding the project around one lab.
- Available now
A version for every change
Every file an agent changes is recorded, with diffs, restore, undo of a whole run, and a slider that puts a folder back to any moment.
- Available now
Approval before writes
An agent asks before it writes, runs or spends outside the rules you set; the rules live in one permissions file.
- Available now
You can bring saved git history back to the project.
The saved history goes back into the project exactly as it was, with your commits, branches and tags.
- Available now
Reading a folder outside the project asks first and names the folder.
Commands run in a sandbox that can change files only in the open project and the usual build caches.
- Available now
A project link cannot give the agent access to private key stores or browser profiles.
The agent cannot open your SSH, cloud and package keys, your browser profiles or Bandicot's own secrets, even through a link in the project.

Straight answers
Is this approved for patient records or clinical decisions?
No such approval is claimed. This page concerns permitted non-patient drafting files; follow your institution's review and data policies.
Where do my prompts go?
A local model runs on your Mac. A hosted provider receives the prompts you send it and bills you directly. Choose the route the work permits.
Can I take back an agent's edits?
Yes. In projects you enrol in Versions, file changes are recorded. Restore a file or undo a whole run, with or without Git.
