A project is a folder for related conversations plus a list of sources that auto-attach to anything you start inside it. Use one when you find yourself adding the same connector to every new chat on the same topic.
Where projects live
The project list is at Projects in the sidebar app-nav, or /projects directly. The same list shows up as a dropdown at the top of the conversation sidebar; that dropdown is the project filter. Pick a project to scope the history list and tag new chats to it.
Creating a project
- Open Projects.
- Click New project.
- Give it a name (and an optional description).
That's it. The project shows up in the filter dropdown immediately.
Inside a project
Open a project from the list to land on its workspace, the page where everything about that project lives. The layout is two columns:
- Left: the project's conversation list (covered in Viewing project conversations below).
- Right: a settings card holding the Default project toggle and the Project Sources list.
Below both is a composer for starting a new chat in the project (see Starting a chat in a project). A back link in the top-left returns you to the project list. The lock badge beside the title ("Only you") is a reminder that a project is private to you.
Adding sources to a project
The Project Sources list on the right of the workspace shows what's currently attached. Click the + to add from your library: anything in My Connectors is available.
When a connector is added, you can toggle its individual tools on or off right on the project page. Those toggles persist across every conversation in the project.
Starting a chat in a project
The quickest way is the composer at the bottom of the project workspace: type into the Chat inside <project>… box and press Enter (or the send button). You're taken to the chat surface with the project already selected, and the message you send there opens a new conversation tagged to the project, with every project source attached.
You can also start one from the sidebar:
- Open the project filter at the top of the conversation sidebar.
- Pick the project.
- Click New Chat. The button now reads New Chat in <project>.
Either way, the new conversation is tagged with the project and starts with every project source already attached.
You can also tag an existing conversation: pick the project in the filter, then move conversations into it from their three-dot menu.
The default project
One project can be marked Default. Any new conversation you start without explicitly picking a project gets assigned to the default and inherits its sources. Useful if 90% of your work is on the same set of sources: flip the default and you stop thinking about it.
Toggle this from the project workspace → settings card → Default project for new conversations.
Viewing project conversations
The project workspace lists the project's conversations in its left column, newest activity first. Each row shows the conversation title and when it was last active; hover a row for quick star and ⋮ actions. Click one to open it. A project with no chats yet shows an empty state prompting you to start one from the composer below.
The list shows your conversations in the project, the chats you've started or had moved into it.
You can also reach project conversations from the sidebar: when the filter is set to a project, the sidebar history only shows conversations in that project. Each row also gets a coloured left edge so you can spot which project a chat belongs to when you're back on All Conversations.
