Overview
The Workspace is AIDEN’s shared file storage system — a dedicated space where both you and your AI agents can store, organize, and access files. Think of it as a shared drive that bridges the gap between human and AI workflows.
Default Folders
Every workspace comes pre-configured with five folders:
| Folder | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Documents | General project documentation and notes |
| Templates | Reusable file templates for stories, specs, and configs |
| Knowledge Base | Reference materials, guides, and domain knowledge |
| Assets | Images, diagrams, and media files |
| Exports | Generated reports, exported data, and outputs |
Features
- File browser — Navigate folders, preview files, upload and download
- MIME-aware icons — Visual file type indicators (code, images, PDFs, markdown, JSON)
- Activity tracking — See who accessed or modified files and when
- Agent integration — AI agents can read from and write to the workspace during sessions
- Multi-workspace — Each project and agent can have its own workspace, with cross-access support
How Agents Use the Workspace
When an agent runs, it has access to:
- Its own agent workspace for scratch files and intermediate outputs
- The host conversation workspace tied to the current chat session
- The shared execution root for the project
This means agents can drop files (reports, generated code, analysis results) into the workspace for you to review, and you can place reference materials there for agents to consume.
Navigation
Access the Workspace from the sidebar using the folder icon. The workspace page shows a file browser on the left and file details/preview on the right.
