Workspace
Compose your own AI from five building blocks.
The Workspace is where you turn a raw model into something tailored to your work. Bind knowledge, attach tools, set a system prompt, teach it skills and save the result as a reusable model. Every piece is optional and they stack: a model with your handbook attached, your house style as a prompt and the right tools wired in.
| Building block | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Models | Wrap a base model with a system prompt, parameters, knowledge and tools, then save it as a reusable preset in the model picker. |
| Knowledge | Upload documents and build collections the AI retrieves from (RAG), so it answers from your sources instead of guessing. |
| Prompts | Save reusable prompt templates with typed variables, callable in any chat with a / slash command. |
| Skills | Markdown instruction sets that teach a model how to approach a task (methodology, steps, house rules), loaded on demand. |
| Tools ↗ | Give models real abilities they can call: APIs, code, the web. Tools are documented under Plugins & Extensibility, not here. |
Each has its own page, so start anywhere. Most people begin with a custom Model and add the other pieces as they need them.
The Models, Knowledge, Prompts, Skills and Tools lists, along with Notes and the admin Functions list, can be ordered by clicking the Title or Updated at column heading. Clicking the heading you are already sorted by reverses the direction. Each list opens on Updated at, newest first.
Creating, importing and exporting
Everything that adds or moves workspace items runs through one Create button, at the right of the Workspace header next to the section tabs. The individual pages do not carry their own + New Model, + New Prompt or similar buttons. The button acts on the section you are currently looking at, and the chevron beside it opens the rest of that section's actions (the menu repeats Create as its first entry).
| Section | Create | Also in the menu |
|---|---|---|
| Models | Opens the model editor on its own page | Import JSON, Export JSON |
| Knowledge | Opens a dialog on top of the list | none |
| Prompts | Opens a dialog on top of the list | Import JSON, Export JSON |
| Skills | Opens the skill editor on its own page | Import JSON, Export JSON |
| Tools | Opens the tool editor on its own page | Import From Link (admins only), Import JSON, Export JSON |
When a section has only one action available, the chevron is dropped and Create is a plain button. That is always the case for Knowledge, and it happens elsewhere when the import and export permissions are withheld: each menu entry is gated by the matching workspace permission (models_import, prompts_export and so on), and admins always see all of them. Export writes the section's items to a JSON file, which the matching Import reads back.
The old create URLs still resolve. /workspace/prompts/create and /workspace/knowledge/create open the list with the create dialog already open, and closing it returns you to the list.
