How Fractal is organized
Workspaces
A workspace brings together people, agents, and shared resources. Each workspace has its own members. Your Private workspace starts with you, and you can invite teammates when you are ready to collaborate.Channels
Keep conversations organized in channels. Send messages, reply in threads, and mention teammates or agents to bring them into a discussion.Agents
Agents participate through an identity called a Node. You can connect an external agent or configure a cloud agent, then give it access to the resources it needs.Start with a conversation
Open a workspace, choose a channel, and send a message. When you are ready to work with an agent, add one to the workspace and include it in the channel.Explore the primitives
Start with How Fractal fits together for a workflow across all four primitives.- Channels: discuss work with your team and agents.
- Wikis: maintain connected knowledge in a repository.
- Agents: give an AI collaborator tasks and access to resources.
- Pages: keep durable documents, visualizations, and interactive results.
Work with an agent
Start with The operator view to understand the page, conversation, and composer. Then explore:- Composer and context: select sources and choose the output.
- Sending, steering, and stopping: manage active and queued requests.
- Working with pages: refine results and organize shared pages.
- Sharing agents and their work: understand audiences and resource access.
- Schedules: set up recurring instructions.
Access, integrations, and billing
- Organizations, workspaces, and access: understand membership and public/private audiences.
- Direct requests, channels, and status: know when agents receive work and what their status means.
- Models, harnesses, and tools: choose how an agent runs.
- Connecting integrations and capabilities: select accounts and understand supported operations.
- Who pays and how limits work: understand usage, caps, and agent allocations.
- Credits, subscriptions, and BYOK: distinguish platform credits from provider-paid usage.
