Projects give ongoing work a dedicated home. Each project can keep its own chats, response instructions, reference files, and memory without mixing that context into unrelated work.

Project memory

Keep remembered context inside one project instead of your other chats.

Knowledge files

Add reference material that chats in the project can use.

Work with a team

Understand what teammates can read, edit, and continue.

Scheduled Tasks

Run recurring prompts in your current workspace on a paid plan.

​
Create a project

1

Choose a workspace

Switch to Personal or the team workspace where the work belongs. A project stays in the workspace where you create it.
2

Open Projects

Choose Projects in the sidebar, then select New project.
3

Name the work

Add a project name and an optional description of the goal or outcome.
4

Start the first chat

Open the project and send a message from its composer. New chats started there are saved to the project automatically.
Use Search projects to find a project by its name or description.

​
Add project instructions

Project instructions shape replies in every chat you start inside that project. Use them for the audience, tone, role, constraints, required sources, or output format that should remain consistent. Only the first 4,000 characters of project instructions are sent to the model. If your saved instructions are longer, the editor shows how much will be used. Put the most important requirements first.
Keep project-wide rules in instructions and put one-time details in the current chat.

​
Add project knowledge

Choose Add file in the project’s Knowledge card to add reference material. Supported project knowledge includes:
  • PDF and DOCX documents.
  • Plain text and Markdown files.
  • CSV and JSON files.
Each file can be up to 25 MB, and a project can contain up to 100 knowledge files. Babbily reads the file after upload and marks it Ready when its contents can be used. Large collections may not fit into every prompt in full. Babbily manages the available context and can use the most relevant material for the current request. The project capacity indicator shows how much of the model’s context the ready files may use.
Scanned PDFs without a readable text layer and legacy .doc files are not supported as project knowledge. Convert them to a searchable PDF, DOCX, or text format first.

​
Use project memory

Project memory is separate from your personal Memory Profile and from memory in other workspaces or projects.
  • Personal projects start with project memory on.
  • Team projects start with project memory off. The team owner decides whether to turn it on.
  • When team project memory is on, chats in that project contribute to one shared project memory that current team members can use there.
  • You can remove eligible memories created from your own chats. A teammate’s remembered item is labeled separately.
Turning project memory off stops it from being used for new replies in that project. It does not copy the project’s memories into your personal Memory Profile.

Memory and your Memory Profile

Compare personal, team-workspace, shared team, and project memory.

​
Personal and team projects

A personal project belongs to your Personal workspace. A team project belongs to the selected team workspace. In an active team project, accepted members can see the project, read its chats, and contribute to shared project content such as instructions and knowledge files. Chats still have individual authors: teammates can read a chat created by another member, but only its author can continue it. The team owner controls team project memory and project lifecycle actions. If the team plan becomes inactive, the project remains available as read-only until access is restored.
Do not put information in a team project unless every current member of that workspace is allowed to read it.

​
Temporary Chat and projects

Temporary Chat does not save chats to a project. If Temporary Chat is on when you open a project, Babbily asks you to turn it off before using the project composer. Turning it off discards the current temporary conversation.

​
Archive or delete a project

Available lifecycle controls depend on the workspace and your role. Archive project permanently makes the project read-only. You cannot restore it, but its existing chats remain in your chat history. Delete project permanently removes the project’s metadata, knowledge, and memories. Existing chats remain in your chat history, but they are no longer grouped under the deleted project. Review the confirmation carefully before continuing. Project knowledge and project memory cannot be recovered after deletion.

​
Troubleshoot Projects

If a project is missing or cannot be edited:
  • Confirm that you are in the workspace where the project was created.
  • Check whether the project is archived.
  • For a team project, confirm that you are still a member and that the team plan is active.
  • Turn off Temporary Chat before starting a project chat.
  • Refresh the project if a knowledge file remains Processing.
  • Convert unsupported or scanned files to a supported searchable format.

Teams

Manage workspace membership, sharing, and team-plan behavior.

File attachments
