# Work, Group, and Task

> Give each project a lasting home without turning every action into a project.

**A Work is something you want AI to remember over time. A Task is something you want someone to finish. A Group keeps related Works together.**

## Work: the context that continues

A Work is a persistent body of work: a project, initiative, investigation, feature, or meaningful objective. Keep the research, plans, decisions, files, and next steps that belong to it together.

Good Work names describe what you're trying to accomplish:

* Elephas Teams Launch
* Website Redesign
* Customer Interview Research
* House Renovation

A Work can last across many AI sessions and connected tools. Its useful context includes what you're trying to accomplish, where things stand, what you've decided, and what is still unresolved.

## Task: an action inside a Work

A Task is a concrete action such as **Investigate SSO options**, **Draft the launch email**, or **Request three contractor quotes**.

Tasks are saved in task lists within a Work. Each item can have a status, an owner, and a due date. Completing a Task does not mean the whole Work is finished.

> Add a task to investigate SSO options in the Elephas Teams Launch Work.

This asks for an action item inside the existing Work. It does not ask for a new Work or Group.

The size of an activity is not the only guide. A feature can deserve its own Work if it needs its own research, decisions, and continuing context. A small action within a larger objective usually fits as a Task.

## Group: related Works together

A Group is an optional way to organize related Works. It might represent a product, client, business area, or theme: **Elephas**, **Marketing**, **Acme**, or **Personal**.

Groups hold Works. Save Pages, Tasks, State, and other artifacts in a Work, rather than directly in a Group. A Work can belong to one Group or remain ungrouped; Groups do not nest inside other Groups.

```text theme={null}
Workspace: Selvam

  Group: Elephas
    Work: Teams Launch
      Page: Customer research
      Table: Sign-in options
      Decision: Launch approach
      Tasks: Investigate SSO, draft launch email
      State: Where the launch stands
      Handoff: What to continue next

    Work: Windows App
    Work: Pricing Redesign

  Work: House Renovation (ungrouped)
```

You don't need to learn or build a hierarchy before starting. Create a Work first. Add a Group when related Works become easier to find together.

## Workspace: the space you're working in

A Workspace is the personal or team space containing your Works and Groups. If you have access to more than one, check which Workspace you're using before saving or retrieving work.

A connected AI session also works in a selected Workspace. Tell it which one you mean if there could be confusion.

## What lives inside a Work?

**Artifacts** are the saved pieces of useful work. State, Decisions, task lists, and Handoffs are artifact types too. They aren't additional folders you must fill out.

**Activity** shows changes around the Work. It helps you see what happened, while State explains where things stand now.

Start with what helps you. A research Work might have a Page and a Table. A longer project might also benefit from State, Tasks, and Decisions.

## A quick way to choose

| Ask yourself | Use |
| - | - |
| Does this need its own continuing context? | A Work |
| Is this an action to complete within that context? | A Task |
| Do several Works belong to the same larger area? | A Group |
| Is this a useful result, document, or file to keep? | An artifact inside a Work |

Grouping helps you organize; it does not by itself mean you have shared a Work with anyone. Check the sharing controls shown in the app before assuming someone can access a Work.

For roles and invitations, see [work with your team](/docs/team-collaboration.md) and [sharing and invitation links](/docs/sharing-and-links.md).
