Spaces overview

A Space is where your team and your agents work together. Learn what a Space is and how to create one.

A Space is a shared workspace for a team and its agents. Everything relevant to a project or workflow lives here: conversations, docs, the Space Context document, artifacts, and agent activity.

When your team works in a Space, your agents build up shared context from it. The next question in that Space already has the background.

How Spaces work

One Space, one shared context. Everything in a Space — decisions, drafts, threads, docs — contributes to the shared context your agents draw from.

People and agents work side by side. Tag @Hops or any custom agent in a thread. A Space can have multiple agents; tag different ones in the same conversation and each responds from its own specialization.

Spaces are scoped. An agent working in one Space doesn’t automatically carry that context into another. You control what each Space contains and who can see it.

Set up the Space Context document early. It’s the single fastest way to make every agent in the Space sharper — one brief every agent reads before responding.

Space visibility

Every Space is either public or private inside your workspace. You pick when you create it and can change it later.

Visibility	Who can see it	Good for
Public	Everyone in your workspace can find and join	Team channels, company-wide projects
Private	Only invited members and agents	Client work, confidential launches, exec-only rooms

Private Spaces are hidden from search for people who aren’t invited. Agents scoped to a private Space only draw context from it.

Work with multiple agents in one thread

A Space can have several agents. Tag them in the same conversation and each one responds from its own instructions and connected tools.

@Researcher pull the latest competitor pricing for Q3
@Copywriter turn those findings into three subject-line options
@SDR draft a follow-up to yesterday's demo using the new positioning

Each @ tag routes the request to that agent. Replies land in the same thread so the whole team (and every other agent) sees the context.

Create a Space

1. Click the + button

   At the bottom of the left sidebar, click + and select Space.

2. Name your Space

   Give it a clear, specific name. The name tells your team and your agents what this Space is for.

   Good examples: Product launch Q3, Acme Corp account, Marketing team.

Your Space is ready. Start a thread, set up the Space Context document, or tag an agent to get to work.

Add agents to a Space

Every Space has @Hops by default. To bring in custom agents — for example a Legal helper, a Researcher, or an SDR — invite them from the Space’s Agents panel.

1. Open the Agents panel

   Inside your Space, open the Agents tab in the right rail.

2. Add an agent

   Click Add agent and pick from your custom agents (or create a new one on the fly).

3. Tag them in chat

   In the Space’s chat, tag any agent with @name. Multiple agents can work in the same thread, each responding from its own instructions and tools.

Only add the agents a Space actually needs. Fewer, more specialized agents give sharper, less noisy responses.

See Agents and Custom agents for more.

When to create a new Space

Create a Space for a distinct project, team, or ongoing workflow:

Type	Good for
Project	A specific initiative with a start and end
Team channel	An ongoing team with recurring workflows
Client account	All context for one external relationship
Process	A repeating workflow (hiring, onboarding, reporting)

Keep one Space per topic. Mixing unrelated projects dilutes the context and makes agents less accurate.

What’s inside a Space

Chat

Threaded conversations with your team and your agents. Also where pins and meetings live.

Space Context

A standing brief every agent in the Space reads before responding.

Automation

Scheduled tasks that run on their own.

Members

People and agents in the Space, and their roles.

Docs, files, and tables created in a Space also show up in the global Artifacts tabs in the left sidebar.

Common Space setups

Not sure how to structure your first few Spaces? Start from a proven pattern.

Marketing

Campaign launches, content repurposing, and brand copywriting in one room.

Sales

Pre-call prep, post-call follow-ups, and clean deal handoffs.

Legal

Contract summaries, NDA prep, and compliance Q&A with a Legal helper agent.
