# Spaces

A space is a separate workspace with its own bots, chats, memory and computer, such as one for work
and one for home.

## Create a space

Choose **Create** (the **+** at the top of the sidebar), then **New private space**. You switch
to it from the sidebar, and each space has its own bots, groups and sections.

Most people only need one. Add a space when work must stay apart: a client, a side project, or
personal life.

## What stays inside a space

Nothing crosses between spaces unless you allow it:

- Chats, files and [memory](/docs/memory/).
- The Team Computer and every bot's [computer](/docs/computer/).
- [App connections](/docs/integrations/).
- [Saved credentials](/docs/bot-secrets/), when the space keeps its own.
- Skills a bot saves.

Bots only talk to bots in the same space, unless you turn on **Allow cross-space bot communication**
in a bot's settings.

## What follows you everywhere

Your account settings apply in every space: [models](/docs/models/), [voice](/docs/voice-and-calls/),
[approvals](/docs/approvals/) and your credentials vault. Skills, MCP servers and plugins you add are
available in all your spaces too, unless you narrow them with **Available in**.

## Share a space

Open the space's **Settings** and choose **Invite** next to **Members**. A link is copied for you to
send. It works once and expires after 7 days. To stop links you sent but nobody has used, choose
**⋯** next to **Invite**, then **Cancel open invites** (on iOS and Android it is a row under the
members list).

Whoever opens the link sees what sharing means and chooses **Join**. They join that space only: it
shows up in their space list next to their own spaces, and your other spaces stay private. They
don't join your organization, take a seat, or appear in its audit log.

### What everyone shares

- **Bots, chats, memory and routines.** Everyone sees and can change them, including chats that come
  in through a chat app a member linked.
- **The computer and its browser.** A shared space has one Team Computer. A site someone signs in to
  there stays signed in for everyone, and the computer says so while you control it and on login
  requests. One person drives the screen at a time; everyone else watches until they're done.
- **Taught skills.** Everyone can use a skill someone taught, but only the person who taught it sees
  the recording of what they typed.

### What stays each person's own

Each person keeps their own models, connected accounts, MCP servers, skills, vault and approval
rules, and pays for their own runs. A bot uses the accounts of whoever messaged it, and only that
person answers the questions it asks them. A routine runs with its owner's accounts; editing
someone's routine makes it yours. A bot only offers to call the person who made it.

### Leaving

The owner can remove people, and anyone else can **Leave**. What a person who leaves made in the
space, such as bots, chats and routines, passes to the owner, with routines paused. Their runs
there stop, a screen they were controlling is freed, and their own credentials for that space are
deleted. Tools they had made available in their other spaces move to one of those spaces.

If the owner deletes their account, spaces in their own organization are deleted with it. A space
in a team organization that carries on passes to its longest-standing full member instead.

## Customize one space

Right-click a space in the sidebar and choose **Settings**, or open **Settings → General** and choose
**Manage** next to the space.

There you can rename the space, or give it its own **Models**, **Voice**, **Approvals** or **Vault**
with **Customize**. **Use defaults** goes back to your account settings.

**Delete space** removes the space and its bots. This can't be undone.
