Creating a new Space allows you to build a custom tailored to your specific topics, projects, and teams. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Space with the right configuration to ensure it best serves your needs.

​
Why Create a New Space?

Before creating a Space, it’s helpful to understand the key benefits and use cases:

Custom AI Assistants

Create specialized AI assistants with personalities, areas of expertise, and behaviors tailored to specific domains or tasks.

Content Organization

Organize related AI interactions and knowledge resources around a specific topic, project, or function.

Team Collaboration

Build a shared AI environment where team members can collaborate with consistent AI interactions.

Domain-Specific Knowledge

Creating a New Space: Step-by-Step

1

Access the 'Your Spaces' page

Click on the “Spaces” icon in the main navigation bar on the left side of the screen to access the “Your Spaces” page.

This is the central hub for managing all Spaces you have access to.

2

Start the creation process

Click the “New Space” button located at the top right of the “Your Spaces” page.

This will open the “Create New Space” interface where you’ll configure your new Space.

3

Consider Space Starters (Optional)

Space Starter templates appear in a sidebar within the creation interface.

These pre-configured templates are designed for common use cases:

Content Creation

Optimized for brainstorming and generating various types of content.

Knowledge Base

Designed for question answering and information retrieval from documents.

Professional Development

Tailored for learning, skill enhancement, and career guidance.

You can click a Space Starter to pre-populate the creation form with template settings, or simply ignore them and configure your Space from scratch using the empty form.

Space Starters can save time if they align with your intended use case, but creating from scratch gives you complete control over your Space configuration.

4

Configure Space basics

Fill out the core information that identifies your Space:

5

Define Space Chat Instructions

This is the most important step in creating a truly custom AI assistant. The “Space ” define how your Space’s AI assistant will behave.

The more specific your instructions, the more tailored your Space AI assistant will be. Think of these instructions as defining the AI’s personality and expertise.

6

Add Example Prompts

Add suggested prompts to guide users on effectively interacting with this Space’s AI assistant.

7

Finalize Space creation

Once you’ve configured all settings to your satisfaction:

  • Review your configuration to ensure everything is correct
  • Click the “Create Space” button at the bottom of the page

If you need to abandon the creation process, you can click “Cancel Creation” to return to the Spaces interface without creating a new Space.

After clicking “Create Space,” you’ll be immediately taken to your newly created Space, which will be ready to use. The Space will initially have an empty chat with a welcome message and your example prompts.
