What Are Infospaces?

Each infospace is a separate information environment - your assets, schemas, and analysis results stay isolated. Think of them as separate research projects, departments, or clients.

​
Managing Infospaces

​
Creating and Switching

Default Infospace: You start with “Default Infospace” containing example assets and schemas to help you get started. Switching Between Infospaces: Use the Infospace Switcher in the top left sidebar to see all your infospaces. Click any infospace to switch to it. Creating New Infospaces:
  • Click “Create Infospace” to add a new workspace
  • Choose a descriptive name for your project
  • Set up initial bundles and schemas
Managing Existing Infospaces:
  • Select “Manage Infospaces” to rename or delete
  • Archive old projects to keep your workspace clean
  • Export infospace data for backup or sharing
  • Import infospace configurations from other users

Every infospace is also a vector store. Your documents get embedded - enabling semantic search, similarity matching and better tooling for your LLM model to work with.

Automatic Vectorization

When you enable vectorisation in your infospace settings:
  • Background task creates vectors for all content
  • Continuous processing of new uploads
  • Automatic updates when content changes

Similarity Search

  • Find documents with similar content or themes
  • Deduplicate documents

AI Context Enhancement

  • Provide relevant context for AI analysis
  • Enhance chat interface with document knowledge
