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.
Projects
The primary user-created container. Skills, agents, artifacts, and AI memory are all scoped to a project. Think of a project as a workspace for a specific initiative or workstream.
Artifacts
Documents, proposals, reports, and other content created within a project. 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-project patterns.
- Project Memory — project-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.
