Organise your work with workspaces

A single giant pile of documents makes answers vague — the model has to guess which of fifty papers you mean. AnythingLLM solves this with workspaces: each workspace containerises its own documents into a separate thread, so the context for one project never bleeds into another. A workspace for your thesis chapter, another for a side project, another for course reading — each answers only from its own files. This is the organising idea that makes the tool scale past a handful of PDFs.

1. 1 Create two more workspaces for two genuinely different parts of your work — e.g. thesis-methods and journal-club.
2. 2 Load the relevant documents into each, keeping them separate. A paper that belongs to both can be uploaded to both — workspaces are independent.
3. 3 Ask the same question in both, e.g. What is the most common statistical method used here? — the answers differ because each workspace sees only its own documents.
4. 4 Use threads within a workspace. Inside one workspace, start a 'New Thread' for a distinct line of questioning so a long conversation does not muddy a fresh one — the documents stay shared across threads.
5. 5 Glance at the sidebar: workspaces are your top-level folders, threads are conversations inside them. That two-level structure is how you keep many projects tidy in one app.
