Core Concepts
Understand the foundational concepts behind Cosmo.
Before diving deeper, here are the key concepts you'll encounter throughout Cosmo.
Organizations
The top-level tenant boundary. An organization owns billing, members, and MCP configurations. Everything in Cosmo is scoped to an organization.
Teams
The access boundary within an organization. Every user gets a personal team, and shared teams can be created for collaborative work. Team membership determines who can see and contribute to the workspaces within that team.
Workspaces
The primary user-created container. Skills, agents, artifacts, and AI memory are all scoped to a workspace. Think of a workspace as a dedicated space for a specific initiative or workstream.
Artifacts
Documents, proposals, reports, and other content created within a workspace. Artifacts live in cloud storage and are versioned.
The Hub
A three-panel layout (sidebar + chat + Hub canvas). The Hub is an AI-generated, real-time canvas where artifacts are displayed, edited, and collaborated on.
Memory
AI-managed context that persists across conversations:
- Hub Memory — org-level preferences, conventions, and cross-workspace patterns.
- Team Memory — team-scoped conventions, shared across all workspaces in that team.
- Workspace Memory — workspace-scoped decisions, terminology, and context.
Memory is stored as files, visible and editable by users.
MCP Integrations
Tools are connected via MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Each integration provides the AI with access to external services like Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, and more.
