Workspaces and Spaces
Workspaces and spaces are two separate concepts in Frona. Workspaces are about files. Spaces are about shared conversation context. They don’t depend on each other.
Workspaces
Section titled “Workspaces”A workspace is a directory on the filesystem that acts as an agent’s home. Agents read and write files here, and you can upload documents for agents to work with.
Think of it as the agent’s filesystem. Files persist across conversations, so an agent can pick up where it left off.
Spaces
Section titled “Spaces”A space is a group of chats that share the same context. When you link conversations to a space, the platform summarizes those conversations and feeds the context into new chats automatically.
Creating a space
Section titled “Creating a space”Create a space for each distinct project or topic you’re working on. Give it a descriptive name so you can find it later.
Starting conversations in a space
Section titled “Starting conversations in a space”When you create a new chat, link it to a space. The agent sees the summarized context from previous conversations in that space and can pick up where they left off.
How context builds up
Section titled “How context builds up”As you have more conversations in a space, the platform summarizes them into a condensed context block. This summary is automatically updated every hour (by default). Older conversations are compressed while recent ones are kept in full.
When to use spaces
Section titled “When to use spaces”- Working on a project over time: the agent remembers project context across conversations
- Separating work streams: keep different projects from mixing together
- Collaborating across conversations: multiple chats in the same space share context
When you don’t need spaces
Section titled “When you don’t need spaces”For quick, one-off questions or tasks that don’t need ongoing context, you can chat without linking to a space. Not every conversation needs to be organized.
