Short answer

How can I use AI to organize my Workast spaces?

Your AI client uses Workast tools to build new spaces and audit your current ones. You can tell your agent to set up a specific environment for a new project or find where existing work is stored.

Workspace outcomes

Where your work lands.

The AI handles the structural organization so you can focus on the tasks.

NEW

Fresh project setups

The AI creates isolated environments for new initiatives. You get a clean, organized space ready for tasks immediately.

VIEW

Workspace visibility

Your agent pulls a list of all active spaces. This helps you see exactly how your projects are partitioned.

DATA

Space details

The AI pulls specific information from a single space. You get the context you need without digging through menus.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide when a space is ready or needs to be deleted. The AI builds the structure, but you maintain control over the lifecycle.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI interacts directly with the Workast API to manage your workspace structure.

  1. Identify existing work

    Your agent checks your current setup to see what spaces already exist.

    list_spaces

  2. Inspect specific environments

    The AI looks inside a particular space to understand its current state.

    get_space

  3. Build new containers

    When you start something new, the AI spins up a dedicated space for that project.

    create_space

  4. Verify the setup

    The agent confirms the new space is active and ready for use.

    get_spacelist_spaces
