Workbench / SYSTEM ITEM

The Working Surface

Workbench is the shared surface where people and agents frame work, choose a mode, inspect a plan, approve meaningful actions, and keep the conversation attached to the outcome.

WHAT IT TAKES IN

Context becomes useful when the inputs are named.

WHAT IT GIVES BACK

Outputs you can pick up and act on.

FEATURES

What Workbench changes in the way product work gets done.

This is the operating behavior behind the promise. Each capability is designed to make context, action, and accountability easier to see.

FEATURE

Chat Modes

Ask, Plan, or Run from the same conversation surface. Run mode gates its actions at the level you set: Review All, Review Exceptions, or Allow All.

IMPACTThe interface matches the user’s intent instead of forcing every problem into chat.
FEATURE

Models

Bring your own model from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, Moonshot, or Alibaba, or use a free model. Auto mode picks for you across Cost, Balanced, or Performance.

IMPACTTeams control cost, quality, and risk at the moment work is framed.
FEATURE

Chat Sharing

Keep a chat private, share it with anyone in the workspace, or share externally by email for others to view or join the conversation.

IMPACTParticipants can chat in, with usage drawing from the workspace’s credits - collaboration without losing context.
FEATURE

Comments

Select any text in the thread to add an inline comment. It’s attached to your next prompt, so feedback stays tied to exactly what it’s about.

IMPACTReview happens in place, not in a separate thread that loses the reference.
FEATURE

View any

Markdown files, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, sandboxes, previews, and webpages all render directly inside Workbench.

IMPACTNo context-switching to another app just to look at the work.
