Projects
Keep related chats, files, instructions, and memory together in one workspace.
Projects give one body of work its own scope. A project keeps its chats, files, instructions, context, and working memory together, so work for one customer or product does not spill into another.
Use Home for general work. Create a separate project when a customer, product area, or deliverable needs its own files and history.
Create a project
Open Projects from the left sidebar, then click New Project.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | Identifies the project in the sidebar and project list. |
| Description | Adds a short summary to the project list and project header. |
| Instructions | Sets standing guidance for ordinary chats in this project. |
Start with instructions that will still be true next week:
"Use the launch brief as the source of truth. Keep decision notes in plain text and call out missing owners."
Work with project files
Open a project to see its file explorer. From there, you can:
- Upload files or drag them into a folder.
- Create folders and search the project workspace.
- Preview supported files and download results.
- Export the whole project as a ZIP archive.
- Start a new chat already scoped to the project.
Files created in project chats stay in the same workspace. That makes the project a useful home for source material, drafts, and finished deliverables.
Tasks can also belong to a project, keeping their follow-up chat in the same scope.
Export a project
On Projects, open the project's ••• menu and select Export as zip. You can also open the project and select Export.
The ZIP contains the project's regular files, their folder paths, context.md, and project metadata. It omits empty folders, dotted runtime entries, and symbolic links. Conversation history is separate; use Share chat for a reviewable snapshot or the Threads API for persisted messages.
Keep context in the right place
Project instructions guide ordinary project chats. Durable notes and decisions live in context.md, while working memory keeps short summaries of recent work. The file is hidden from the project explorer; say "add this to project context" in a project chat when you want Fluso to update it.
Saved Agent threads use the Agent's own instructions instead of project
instructions or context.md. They can still use the configured project's
files and working-memory summaries. See Project
context for this boundary.
Use one project per scope that should stay separate. For example, keep Acme support work in an Acme project and the Q3 launch in a Q3 Launch project. Start a new chat inside the same project when the topic changes but the files and background should remain available.
Organize projects
Use the project's sidebar actions menu to pin, archive, label, recolor, or change its icon. Use the menu on the Projects page to export or delete it. Home is the default workspace and cannot be deleted.
If you already have useful context in ChatGPT, Claude, or another agent, use Imports to create projects and files from an export.
