Get organised with Projects

Projects turn a long, tangled chat history into tidy, focused workspaces — one per client, campaign, class or workstream. Here's how to use them well.

01The basics

What is a Project?

A Project is a named workspace that holds a group of related conversations. Instead of scrolling through one endless list of chats, you keep everything for a topic together in its own folder — and jump straight to it.

Two things worth knowing up front: projects are personal to you — no one else sees your project list — and they're purely organisational, so deleting a project never deletes the chats inside it. It just returns them to your main list.

Think of it as folders for your chats. If you've ever wished your conversations were sorted by what they're actually about, that's exactly what Projects do.

02Fit

When a Project earns its place

Reach for a project whenever a topic is going to generate more than a couple of chats over time. If it's a one-off question, a plain chat is fine — don't over-file.

Move existing chats into a project

Already have chats you want to gather up? You don't have to start over. Open any conversation's menu and file it — or unfile it — in a couple of clicks.

  1. Open the conversation's menuHover a chat in the list and click its menu.
  2. Pick the project optionChoose Move to project, then select the project to file it under.
  3. To take it out againOpen the same menu and choose Unassigned — the chat returns to your main list, untouched.

05In practice

A worked example

Say you're running a product launch. Rather than nine loose chats scattered through your history, you keep one project and let it grow with the work.

Project · Q3 Marketing Campaign

One workspace, the whole campaign

Every conversation about the launch lives here, so picking up where you left off is one click — and nothing bleeds into your other work.

  • Launch email drafts — iterate subject lines and body copy
  • Landing page copy — headlines, sections, CTAs
  • Competitor scan — a web-search chat kept for reference
  • Social calendar — post ideas and captions
  • Launch imagery — visuals made with the 🎨 Image Generator

Projects pair well with the rest of v0.8.7. Keep web-search chats and image-generation chats in the same project as the work they support, and everything for the launch stays in one place.

06Do it well

Six habits that keep Projects useful

Aa

Name for the future you

Use names you'll recognise in three months — “Acme — renewal 2026”, not “stuff”. Add a date or client where it helps.

1

One topic per project

A project is only tidy if it stays focused. If two themes creep in, split them into two projects.

Start chats from inside

Use New chat in project so conversations file themselves — far less tidying up later.

Tidy in batches

Once in a while, sweep loose chats from your main list into the right project via Move to project.

Use “All projects” to zoom out

Your main conversation list still shows everything, so you never lose the big picture when you need it.

🗑

Delete without fear

Removing a project just unfiles its chats — the conversations stay in your history. Retire finished projects freely.

07Good to know

Common questions

Can my colleagues see my projects?
No. Projects are personal to you — your project list and how you've organised your chats are private to your account.
If I delete a project, do I lose the chats?
No. Deleting a project only removes the grouping. Every conversation inside it returns to your main chat list, fully intact.
Can one chat be in two projects?
A chat belongs to a single project at a time. To move it, just pick a different project from its menu, or choose Unassigned to take it out.
Do projects change how the AI answers?
No — projects are for organising, not for steering the model. Pick your model or EKK agent as usual inside each chat; the project simply keeps the conversations together.
Is there a limit to how many projects I can make?
Make as many as you find useful. In practice, a handful of well-named, focused projects beats dozens of thin ones.

Give it five minutes

Create one project for something you're actively working on, start a chat inside it, and move a couple of related conversations across. That's the whole idea — and it sticks fast.
