A workspace is an AI with a memory that persists.
You give it material: documents, meeting notes, email, whatever the work involves. It reads that material, keeps what it learned, and answers questions about it later with a source you can check. Weeks after the fact you can ask what happened instead of hunting for a file you half remember.
It runs on our hardware, so it keeps working when the laptop is closed.
The seven places
Chats is where you talk to it. Ask questions, hand it work, paste something in and say what to do with it. Each conversation is its own thread, and everyone on the team sees the same threads.
Memory is what it knows, as folders and notes you can open and read. Nothing is hidden in a database you cannot see.
Skills are the jobs it knows how to run. Some you launch, some run on a schedule without being asked.
Tools are the applications it can use: the accounts people added to it, and the paid lookups that come with the plan.
Schedule is the work that runs without you: what runs, when it last ran, and when it runs next.
Integrations are where people reach it from: Telegram, Slack, and other AIs like Claude and ChatGPT.
Settings is the workspace itself: its name, who is in it, and the server it runs on.
What a workspace does that a chat window does not
It remembers between conversations. Close the tab, come back next month, ask a follow-up. The context is still there.
It works while you are not. Schedules read and organize overnight, so the workspace is further along in the morning than where you left it.
It is shared. Everyone in the workspace talks to the same AI and sees the same history, with each question attributed to whoever asked it.
It cites. Answers point at the page they came from.
Start here
- Set up a workspace: get one running and have the first conversation.
- Memory: how it files what it learns, and how to read a note.
- Connect accounts: Google, GitHub and about a hundred more, and Telegram or Slack to talk to it.
- Skills and scheduled work: what it can run, and what it runs on its own.
- Use the memory from other AIs: read and write it from Claude, ChatGPT or OpenClaw.
- Give a group a copy: fork the workspace for a team, then throw the fork away.
- Connect an AI: point ChatGPT or Claude at the workspace, or at the applications you connected for yourself.
