Spaces and channels

A space is where a team builds shared context. Your captures land in your Home; a note reaches a space when you share it there. Create a space when you want a place shared with other people. The app puts it plainly on the create screen: a new space for building intelligence for your project or team.

Channels

Channels organize conversation inside a space, the way they do in a team chat tool. Every space starts with a Welcome to Gobi channel. Post updates, share notes into a channel, and reply in threads. Channels are public or private, and you choose which when you create one. A channel header shows which it is, next to the member count: Public · 4 members. In the channel list, a lock marks the private ones.

​

Channel members and settings

Both live inside the channel, under its ... menu.

• Members. See who’s in, add people by name or email, and remove them.
• Settings. Channel setup for the name and details, Notifications for what reaches you.
• Danger zone. Delete channel removes it permanently along with everything in it. Leave channel takes you out, and you lose access to it.

​

Channels and the space agent

The space agent reads the public channels of the space and answers from them anywhere in it. A private channel stays out of that entirely. You can still bring the agent into a private channel by tagging it in a thread. It reads only as much of that thread as the answer needs, and retains nothing. More on what the agent knows in Ask Gobi.

​

Inviting people

Invite from the space’s member settings: copy an invite link and send it anywhere, or add people by email.

​

Roles

Admins manage the space and its members. Members post and share. Admins can promote or demote from member settings, with one guard: the last admin in a space can’t demote themselves.

Switching spaces

Tap the name at the top to open the left panel. Home sits above the list of your spaces, and Add a space is at the bottom of it.
