Setting Up Your Workspace
Your workspace is the shared environment for your team — it holds your repositories, newsletters, members, and AI configuration. Creating one is the first thing you do before anything else in Abstractions.
Creating a workspace
If you've just signed up and don't have a workspace yet, Abstractions takes you to the workspace creation page automatically.
To create an additional workspace:
- Go to Dashboard
- Click your workspace name in the top navigation to open the workspace switcher
- Click Create workspace
- Fill in the details and click Create
Workspace fields
| Field | Required | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | Your workspace's display name — shown to all members |
| Website | No | Optional URL for your team or project |
| About | No | A short description visible to workspace members |
| Billing email | No | The address used for billing communications |
| Logo | No | An image shown in the workspace header |
You can update any of these later from Settings → Workspace.
Each workspace has its own members, repositories, AI configuration, and newsletter history. If you're managing multiple projects or teams, separate workspaces keep everything isolated.
After creation
Once your workspace is created, you'll land on the getting-started checklist. The three steps to complete are:
- Configure AI — add your Anthropic or OpenAI API key
- Connect GitHub — link your GitHub account
- Send your first newsletter — connect a repository and generate a draft
Invite your team early — go to Settings → Workspace → Invitations before you start connecting repositories, so members have access as soon as the first newsletter is ready.
