Collaborative Spaces

Project-like environments where humans and AI agents work together by sharing and organizing files, enabling seamless collaboration on common goals with shared context and resources.

At ChatBotKit, we believe the future of work involves humans and AI collaborating seamlessly on shared projects. Spaces provide exactly that—collaborative environments where people and AI agents can work together, share files, and accomplish common goals. Think of Spaces as project workspaces where both you and your AI can access, organize, and work with shared information.

Traditional file storage separates humans and AI, requiring manual processes to give AI access to information. ChatBotKit Spaces eliminate this friction by creating shared environments where files are naturally accessible to both people and AI agents, enabling true collaboration without technical barriers.

Key Capabilities

Spaces provide a comprehensive collaborative environment designed for human-AI teamwork:

Shared File Management

Create dedicated workspaces where you can upload, organize, and manage files that both you and your AI agents can access. Your AI can read existing files to understand context, create new files based on your instructions, and even modify content to help you accomplish tasks. This shared access creates a natural collaborative flow.

Project Organization

Each Space serves as a distinct project environment with its own file structure and organization. You can create multiple Spaces for different projects, clients, or purposes, keeping everything neatly organized while giving AI agents the context they need for each specific project.

Team Collaboration

Spaces support multiple users working together with AI agents. Team members can share Spaces, upload resources, and collaborate with AI on common objectives. Whether you're working on content creation, data analysis, or customer projects, Spaces provide the structure for effective teamwork.

Flexible Access Methods

Work with Spaces in ways that fit your workflow:

  • ChatBotKit Portals: Use the visual Portals app to browse files, upload content, and manage your Spaces through an intuitive interface
  • API Integration: Programmatically create and manage Spaces, upload files, and integrate Space functionality into your custom applications
  • AI Agent Access: Your AI agents can naturally interact with Space files during conversations and workflows

Real-World Use Cases

AI-Assisted Content Creation

Create a Space for each content project where you upload reference materials, brand guidelines, and resources. Your AI agents can access these files to help draft content, suggest edits, and maintain consistency with your established style and requirements. As you work together, new drafts and iterations are stored in the Space for easy access and version tracking.

Customer Collaboration Projects

Set up dedicated Spaces for your clients where they can upload files that need processing, analysis, or support. Your AI agents can automatically work with uploaded files—analyzing documents, extracting information, or generating reports—while maintaining organized records of all work done together.

Knowledge Organization and Management

Build Spaces that serve as knowledge repositories for specific topics or projects. Upload documentation, reference materials, and resources that your AI can access to answer questions, provide insights, or create new content based on the established knowledge base.

Data Processing Workflows

Use Spaces as staging areas where files move through AI-powered processing pipelines. Upload raw data, let your AI agents transform and analyze it, and access the results—all within an organized workspace that maintains clarity about what's been processed and what's pending.

Team Project Collaboration

Create project-specific Spaces where team members and AI agents collaborate on deliverables. Everyone shares access to project files, AI agents help with tasks like document review and content generation, and all work is centralized in one collaborative environment.

How It Works

Getting started with Spaces is straightforward:

  • Create a Space: Set up a new Space for your project through the dashboard or API, giving it a descriptive name and purpose
  • Add Files: Upload documents, images, data files, or any content your project needs
  • Invite Collaborators: Share Space access with team members who need to participate
  • Work with AI: Your AI agents can access Space files during conversations, automatically understanding the project context
  • Organize as Needed: Create structure within your Space to keep files organized and easy to find

Spaces handle the technical complexity of shared access and permissions, so you can focus on your work while your AI agents seamlessly collaborate with you on achieving your goals.

Getting Started

Ready to create your first collaborative Space? Navigate to the Spaces section in your ChatBotKit dashboard and click "Create Space" to set up your first project environment. Upload some files, then try asking your AI agents questions about the content—you'll see how Spaces enable natural collaboration.

For developers, the Spaces API provides complete programmatic control over creating Spaces, managing files, and integrating collaborative functionality into your applications. Access Spaces through the ChatBotKit Portals app for a visual interface, or build custom integrations using the API.

Spaces transform how humans and AI work together, creating shared environments where collaboration happens naturally and productivity increases through intelligent teamwork.
