Shared project spaces
Keep project chats and files in a shared space instead of separate personal AI threads, so members can return to the same project context.
Spaces
Spaces is a desktop AI workspace for teams and individuals to organize project chats, files, specialist agents, and scheduled routines in shared spaces.
A shared workspace for project-based AI work
Spaces is a desktop AI workspace organized around projects. Each space combines shared chats, files, routines, and multiple specialist agents, giving a team a common place to continue work instead of keeping project context in separate private conversations.
The app is designed for teams that already use AI providers such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Users connect their own keys or accounts, assign agents to project work, and schedule recurring tasks. Solo use is available through the free desktop app; shared cloud spaces are intended for invited team members.
Core features
Specialist agents
Create separate specialists such as a researcher, copywriter, or launch lead. Each agent has its own instructions, memory, and tools, while members can put the agents to work.
Scheduled routines
Use scheduled routines for recurring work such as morning briefs, follow-ups, reminders, and weekly recaps. The routine can notify a person when a decision is needed.
Bring-your-own AI
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini accounts that the team already uses, or run a model locally with Ollama. Providers can be switched per agent.
Browser-based agent work
Agents can use the built-in browser to research pages, click through sites, and stay signed in while working with the web content visible in the app.
Local credentials and encrypted sync
The app keeps agents, API keys, and connected accounts on each user’s computer while synchronizing shared chats, files, and routines for the space.
Ways to use Spaces
Coordinate a product launch
Create a launch space containing the project’s chats and files, then assign a launch lead, researcher, or copywriter to different parts of the work. Team members can work from the same accumulated context.
Research and content preparation
Give a research specialist access to the built-in browser and project files so it can investigate sources, compare claims, and prepare material for the rest of the team.
Run recurring project operations
Set up a morning brief, follow-up, or weekly recap to run automatically. The routine handles scheduled work and contacts a person when an approval or decision is required.
Manage an individual AI workflow
Use the free desktop app to keep personal AI chats, files, specialists, and routines organized on one computer before inviting collaborators into a shared space.
