What Is a Workspace?
A workspace is an isolated work environment inside PropellerDeck. Think of it like a separate desk — everything on that desk belongs to that desk alone. Each workspace you create gets its own AI agent, its own file storage, its own settings, and its own conversation history. Nothing bleeds over between workspaces.
Why Workspaces Exist
Most people have more than one project going at once. A workspace lets you keep those projects cleanly separated without juggling folders, switching contexts manually, or worrying about one project's files or agent instructions leaking into another.
For example, you might have:
- A "Client A - Marketing" workspace for an agency client's campaigns.
- A "Internal Research - Q2" workspace for your team's internal work.
- A "Personal Notes" workspace for your own drafts and experiments.
Each of these workspaces maintains a completely independent context. The AI agent in one workspace has no memory of conversations or files from another.
What Lives Inside a Workspace
Every workspace contains:
- AI Agent — a dedicated assistant configured specifically for that workspace.
- Files — all uploaded documents, images, and other assets.
- Chat History — the full conversation log with the agent.
- Settings — system prompt, enabled tools, skills, default model, and cloud sync configuration.
Workspaces as Project Containers
The best way to think about workspaces is as project-specific containers. When you open a workspace, you step into that project's environment. When you switch to another, you step out. Nothing about your current workspace follows you unless you intentionally copy it.
To create your first workspace, see Creating a Workspace. To configure a workspace after creating it, see Workspace Settings. To learn more about the AI agent inside each workspace, see What Are AI Agents?.
