A space holds people; **channels** hold conversations. Each channel is a room inside the space with its own members and its own running discussion — by deal, by client, by project, however your group actually divides its attention. A space's channel list, with regular and private channels, and direct messages below ## Two kinds of rooms Most channels are marked with a **#** — the shared rooms of the space, where the group's working conversation happens. Channels marked with a **lock** are private: a smaller room, visible only to its members. A conversation's audience is exactly the channel's member list, and rooms you're not in don't advertise themselves. Need a new room? **Add a channel** sits at the bottom of the list — a channel is cheap to make and easy to name after the thing it's for. ## What lives in a channel Channels are built from [posts, replies, and reactions](/spaces/posts-replies-reactions). A post can be written from scratch — or it can carry something better than prose: any capture from your Home can be [shared into a channel as a post](/spaces/share-a-capture), so the room isn't discussing your retelling of the conversation, it's discussing the conversation. One channel per deal or per client works especially well: over time the channel becomes the running history of that relationship. Below the channels sit your [direct messages](/spaces/direct-messages) — same space, room of two. ## Channels and the space agent What's posted into a channel becomes part of what the [space agent](/spaces/space-agent) can draw on for that channel's members. The agent's rule is the space's rule: it only speaks from what its audience could already see. Ask it about a deal, and the answer comes from the rooms you're in — never from rooms you're not.
