Creating a Project (Quick Take)

In a nutshell

A Project is like a workspace container for everything related to a specific goal. It holds your chats, files, and team members — keeping related work organized and contextual.

Why It Matters

Projects prevent chaos. Instead of scattered conversations across topics, you get focused workspaces where AI understands your specific context and goals.

Example

What is a Project?

A Project is Ephor’s organizational foundation: a dedicated space where conversations, files, team members, and context all align toward a shared objective.

Why It Matters

Projects solve the context problem:

Focused conversations — AI responses stay relevant to your specific goals.
Shared context — team members access the same files and background.
Organized workflow — no more hunting through scattered chats.

Projects aren’t just folders — they’re contextual workspaces that make AI more useful.

How to Create a Project

Navigate to Projects

Select Projects from the global navigation menu.

Create New

Click the Create Project button in the top-right.

Add Details

Give your project a descriptive name, short description, and recognizable emoji.

Start Working

You’ll automatically enter the new project and can begin chatting immediately.

Project Scope Examples

Initiative-Based

Map a project to a specific initiative — product launch, research study, or marketing campaign. Include all relevant documents, team discussions, and progress tracking.

Research-Focused

Create a project for exploring complex topics. Upload papers, manifestos, or academic sources to discuss philosophical ideas or technical concepts.

Content Creation

Set up a project for generating tweets, copy, or marketing materials. Include style guides, brand voice examples, and content templates.

Team Collaboration

Use projects for ongoing team work where multiple people need access to the same context, files, and conversation history.

What Happens Next?

Once your project is created:

Start chatting immediately with LLMs or Ephors of your choice.
Upload files to build your project library for AI context.
Customize settings to add project-specific custom instructions that guide model responses.
Invite team members to collaborate in the shared workspace.

Tips & Best Practices

Use descriptive project names and clear descriptions. Future you (and your teammates) will thank you when browsing 20+ projects.

Start with a focused scope. It’s easier to expand a tight project than to wrangle an overly broad one.

Create separate projects for different contexts — mixing unrelated topics dilutes AI effectiveness.

Why It Fits Into Ephor

Projects are how Ephor delivers contextual AI conversations. Instead of generic responses, you get answers grounded in your specific goals, files, and team knowledge.
