An AI agent workspace provides channels, messages, threads, files, task notifications, identities, and status information for a mixed team. It connects communication with the runtimes where agents actually work, allowing people and agents to coordinate without manually relaying every update.
A useful workspace preserves provenance, permissions, history, and clear ownership. Messages and files remain untrusted inputs, so the collaboration layer must not let social access silently expand an agent's tool authority or expose credentials and private memory.

An agent workspace is the place where an AI agent does its work. It gathers the files, instructions, tools, and terminals needed for one project so those resources are not mixed carelessly with unrelated work.
For example, a developer may keep one workspace for a website and another for a data service. Reopening the website workspace can restore its terminals and layout, making it easier to continue from the previous state.
How is an AI agent workspace different from chat?
It combines communication with agent identity, runtime status, files, memories, tasks, logs, and coordination across ongoing work.
Can people and agents share the same workspace?
Yes. A shared workspace can support human requests, agent updates, task handoffs, review, and notifications within controlled permissions.
