A space is a shared home for one piece of ongoing work, such as onboarding a client, a quarterly project or a policy handbook. A space keeps that work's chats, files, instructions and tools in one place, so everyone who works on it starts with the same context.
Find your spaces
Spaces appear in the chat sidebar. Choose All spaces to open the Spaces page. If you haven't joined any spaces yet, the sidebar shows Create a space instead.
The Spaces page groups your spaces into tabs:
All: every active space you can open.
Your spaces: spaces you created.
Shared with you: spaces someone else added you to.
Organization: spaces shared with everyone in your organization.
Archived: archived spaces. This tab appears only when you have at least one.
Create a space
On the Spaces page, choose New space. You can also choose New space in the chat sidebar.
In Create space, give the space a name (up to 60 characters).
Optionally add a Description and Instructions. Instructions are added to every chat in the space. You can change both later.
Choose Create.
After you create the space, add files, memory and tools from its tabs.
If your organization is a managed service provider, Create space also asks whether this is an Internal space, for your own team, or a Customer space, shared with one customer. See Customer spaces for MSPs.
A new space is private: only you can open it until you share it. To share it, see Share a space and manage people.
When you add files to a space, they're copied in. Later changes to your original files won't update the copies in the space.
Turn a chat or folder into a space
You can also start a space from work you've already done:
A chat: open the chat's menu and choose Turn into a space. The chat moves into a new private space, and its files are added to the space's files. This can't be undone.
A folder: open the folder's menu and choose Turn into space. Its chats move into a new private space with the folder's name, and the folder is removed. Each chat stays private to you until you share it with the space.
What's in a space
A space page has these tabs:
Chats: chats in the space. Filter by all chats, your own chats, chats shared with the space, or pinned chats.
Files: the space's files.
Artifacts: artifacts shared with the space.
Context: what every chat in the space starts with. Setup shows it, and History shows what changed.
Members: who can open the space and their roles.
Chat in a space
To start a chat in a space, open the space and choose New chat in space. The chat uses the space's instructions, files, memory and tools.
To bring an existing chat in, open the chat's menu and choose Move to space. You need the Can contribute role or higher in that space. Chats in a space stay there: they can't be moved out or moved to another space.
Your chats are private until you share them
A chat you start in a space is private to you at first. To let the space's members read it:
In the chat, choose Share.
Under Who can see this chat?, choose [space name] members. Members can read it but not change it. They can make their own copy.
Choose Save.
To make it private again, open Share and choose Only me.
Everything in a shared chat becomes readable by members of the space, including results from your connected apps.
Chats in a space can't have share links. Share them with the space instead. For more, see Share Chats.
Pin chats for everyone
The owner and managers can pin up to 5 shared chats for everyone in the space. Open a shared chat's menu and choose Pin for everyone. Pinned chats appear at the top of the Chats tab.
Add files from a chat
When you attach files in a chat that's in a space, you can choose where new uploads go:
Save new uploads to space files checked: the files are added to the space's files, and every chat in the space can use them.
Unchecked: the files stay in this chat only.
The box starts unchecked. Hatz remembers your choice for this space on this device. Changing it affects only files you add after the change. Files already uploading go where the box was set when you added them.
Set up the space's context
Open the Context tab and choose Setup to see what every chat in the space starts with:
Instructions: added to every chat in the space, after the agent's own instructions.
Space memory: short facts the space should remember. When space memory is off, chats in the space don't read them. Only managers can turn space memory on or off.
Agents: agents the space works with. New chats start with the default agent.
Apps & workflows: Workshop apps and workflows used for this work.
Skills: skills chats in the space can use when they need them.
Integrations & MCP: linked to the space, not shared. Each person connects their own account.
Space files: added as sources to every chat, for people who can read them.
Managers edit the instructions and settings. Contributors can add files, memory and tools.
Ask Hatz to do it
With Spaces on, you can also ask Hatz in chat to work with your spaces. For example, "Create a space for client onboarding" or "Share this chat with the Client onboarding space." Hatz shows a preview of every change and waits for you to confirm it.
Leave a space
Open the space's … menu and choose Leave space. You lose access to the space. Your shared chats stay in the space, and your private chats come back to you. A manager can add you back.
A chat the space kept after you left shows Kept by [space name] in your chat list. Ask a space manager if it should be removed.
The owner can't leave a space. Transfer ownership first.
Archive or restore a space
Managers and the owner can archive a space from the space's … menu. Archiving hides the space from everyone's spaces list and makes it read-only. Its chats and items are kept, and a manager can restore it later from the Archived tab.
Spaces can't be deleted. Archive a space you no longer need.
Common questions
Who can see a space? Only the people it's shared with. A new space is private to you. See Share a space and manage people.
Can I share a link to a chat in a space? No. Share it with the space's members instead.
Do linked tools give other people my data? No. Linked tools and agents use each person's own access. Nobody gets data they couldn't already see.
