Using projects and workspaces

Organise conversations by project or topic.

After this lesson

You keep related conversations together so that context is preserved.

In view · Working together towards one result

Context gets its own workspace

  1. Create a recognisable place for a project or work period.

  2. Keep separate tasks separate and relevant sources together.

  3. Check who has access and archive completed work.

Remember: A workspace helps to organise; check which context is actually included. Open het volledige schema ↗

Why projects?

A new conversation per task keeps the context clean. A project keeps related chats together.

When a new project?

With a new topic, client or period.

Practical tip

Give projects a clear name and archive completed projects.

New practice example

From explanation to a usable result.

A workspace organises sources and agreements; it does not guarantee that every file is used with every question.

Fictional practice situation

A fictitious project contains two files named regulation. One is a draft and one is approved. A third file contains comments from a previous working group.

View a possible solution

This is how it can be done

Rename them recognisably: regulation-draft, regulation-approved, and comments-working-group. State for the task that only the approved file is the factual source and have the answer refer to the used passages.

Why this works

Ordering reduces confusion, but does not replace the check of the used source. A model can still select the wrong fragment.

Make it slightly more difficult

Add a new approved regulation and establish how you archive the old version recognisably without allowing two active truths to exist.

Extra practice, at your own pace. You do not need to submit anything. This does not count towards an automatic assessment.

Ende, your light pink practice buddy

The fictitious source is included. Only when selecting ‘Let Ende answer’ do you send your assignment to the AI service. Do not use private data.

Present your assignment to Ende.
Read the answer, change one thing, and compare.

My own check

On this device only. AI answers remain only in this page memory. This is self-review, not a grade.

Why this approach works

Ordering reduces confusion, but does not replace the check of the used source. A model can still select the wrong fragment.

A step further

Add a new approved regulation and establish how you archive the old version recognisably without allowing two active truths to exist.

A prompt to get you started

Describe in 3 sentences when you would start a new project or workspace instead of continuing in the same conversation.

Apply it

In one AI workspace, documents from different projects are stored. A new team member should only see one project.

A workspace for projects. Illustration for the question.

Which approach best fits this situation?

  • Grant access to everything so the assistant has more context.
  • Rely only on the project name as access security.
  • Separate projects and verify access to the documents actually being used.

With JavaScript, you can check your approach and receive immediate feedback.

Test your insight

Conversations and workspaces. Illustration for the question.

When is a separate project or workspace useful?

  • Always, for every question.
  • With a new topic or when you want to separate the context of previous tasks.
  • Never.
Extra practice

Note two situations in which a separate project is more convenient than one long conversation.

1. A new client project. 2. Preparing an internal workshop.
