Workspace Context

Workspace context applies everywhere: to every project, connection, and canvas. It's owned by workspace owners and business leaders, and typically changes quarterly or less, since it holds the standing rules the rest of the business is meant to build on.

Workspace context can be defined via the UI in the workspace settings under the AI tab.

  -d'{"agent_context":"Our company uses fiscal quarters starting in April..."}'
