--- title: "What are Projects in Tale?" description: "Tale Projects bundle chats, files, instructions, and a task board into one shared workspace — assign a task to an agent and review the result before it ships." --- Projects # What are Projects in Tale? Projects are shared workspaces that bundle the chats, files, instructions, and task board for one piece of work — so context follows the work and agents pick tasks up where your team leaves them. > Animated demo: the Projects list — each shared workspace with its agents and members. ## How projects run work Assign a task to an agent, resume the project chat with its context, ground replies in project files, and keep outbound steps behind review. 01 Tasks ### Assign a card, an agent takes it Assigning a board task to an agent starts the task-ops loop — execution, checks, and escalation run on workflows your organization owns and can tune. > Animated demo: the Website relaunch board — Relaunch Agent works WEB-12 (migration guide) in In progress while WEB-11 waits in In review. 02 Chats ### Every chat starts with the context Project instructions and files ride along in every thread, so a new chat picks up the relaunch where the last one stopped. > Animated demo: a project chat resumes the website relaunch with the project's instructions and files as context; the agent answers with citations. 03 Knowledge ### Files that stay inside the project The Knowledge tab keeps the project's folder tree indexed for retrieval — cited in project chats, invisible outside the project. > Animated demo: the project's Knowledge tab — brand guidelines, the current site crawl, the redirect map, and the launch checklist. 04 Review ### Nothing ships without a decision When a task would publish or send, the approval card lands with the project's owner — and the decision stays in the audit trail. > Animated demo: publishing the relaunched pricing page pauses on an approval card until the project owner decides. ## One workspace per piece of work A project keeps everything a contact, a launch, or an investigation needs in one place — and puts agents to work inside it. - 01Context that follows the workChats, files, instructions, and discussions live on the project's tabs, so nobody re-pastes background into a fresh composer.[Projects overview](https://tale.dev/docs/platform/projects/overview) - 02A board agents work fromAssign a task card to an agent and the task-ops pack runs it — triage, execution, review, and escalation included.[Task automation](https://tale.dev/docs/platform/projects/task-automation) - 03A backlog with human triageAutomations propose work; a teammate starts what is worth doing and closes what is not.
