Spaces

Spaces are workspaces — one per project, client, or topic. Switch between them using the pills below the prompt bar, or with #name and /s name.

Click + to add a new space, or drop a folder anywhere on the surface to import a project automatically.

Artifacts

Everything on the surface is an artifact — notes, decks, diagrams, apps, tables, wireframes. Click an icon to open it. The topbar (hover near the top) has sort, filter, and view controls.
