Workspaces
Think of workspaces as rooms. Each one holds a collection of blocks — cards, boards, tables, calendars, metrics, checklists — arranged however makes sense for that topic. The AI creates them, populates them, and keeps them organized. You browse, interact, and occasionally rearrange.
Six block types
Every workspace is built from these building blocks. Mix them freely — a workspace might have two boards, a table, and a metric, or just a single card. There are no rules.
Card
Rich Markdown content — notes, research, summaries, anything that's primarily text. Full formatting support including tables, code blocks, and links.
Board
Kanban-style task management. Columns map to statuses, real tasks live as database rows. The heavyweight of the workspace.
Table
Structured data with defined columns and rows. Competitor analysis, feature comparisons, contact lists — anything that fits a grid.
Calendar
Month view with events and deadlines. Events can link to tasks, so your timeline and your board stay in sync.
Metric
Single KPI tile — a value, optional trend arrow, change percentage, and subtitle. Glanceable numbers for what matters.
Checklist
Toggleable items with a progress bar. Requirements, launch checklists, review criteria — check them off as you go.
Created by the AI, used by you
AI-created
There's no "New Workspace" button. Solmyr creates workspaces as it works — during setup, when it researches a topic, or when you ask it to organize something. Each workspace gets a title and an icon.
Block-based
Blocks are added, reordered, and removed by the AI. A single workspace might start with one card and grow to include boards, tables, and calendars as the project matures. Blocks stack vertically in whatever order makes sense.
Browsable
The workspace list shows every space with block-count badges and an "open tasks" indicator. Click into one and you'll see all its blocks stacked on a single page, each in its own shell with a type badge.
Boards: the task engine
Boards are where actual work gets tracked. They deserve their own section because they're considerably more complex than the other block types.
To Do

In Progress
2 tasks
Review
1 task
Done
5 tasks
Each board has columns, and each column maps to a task status. Tasks are real database rows — not sticky notes — so they carry descriptions, assignees, priorities, effort estimates, due dates, dependencies, linked files, comments, and a full activity history.
Tasks move between columns as their status changes. You can assign tasks to yourself or to Solmyr, submit work for review with a summary of what was done, or send it back with feedback. It's a lightweight review workflow baked into every board.
The review cycle
When a task is ready, submit it for review with a note on what was done. The reviewer can approve it (moves to Done) or send it back with feedback — which creates a record the assignee can reference. Previous review feedback is preserved so nothing gets lost in back-and-forth.
Done column filtering
Completed tasks pile up. The Done column has a configurable retention filter — show completed tasks from the last 7, 14, 30, or 60 days, or show everything. The column can also be collapsed entirely so it doesn't clutter your view.
Calendars and task linking
Calendar blocks render a month view. Events live on specific days and can optionally link to tasks from any board in the same workspace. When an event is linked to a task, the calendar shows the task's current status label — so you can see at a glance whether a deadline's deliverable is in progress, under review, or done.
The AI manages calendar events through dedicated tools — creating, updating, and removing events as plans change. Events that lose their linked task still appear on the calendar; they just stop showing a status badge.
Anatomy of a task
Tasks are the most feature-rich entity in a workspace. Here's everything that lives on a single task card.
How the AI uses workspaces
During setup
After you complete the wizard, the build process creates your initial workspace structure. This typically includes a main project board with tasks derived from your roadmap, plus supporting workspaces for research, planning, or whatever the AI deems useful for your business type.
During normal work
When you ask Solmyr to research competitors, plan a feature, or organize information, it creates or updates workspaces to store the output. Research results become cards, action items become board tasks, timelines become calendar events. The workspace is the AI's filing cabinet.
"Research our top 5 competitors and compare pricing models"
→ Solmyr creates a workspace with a research card, a comparison table, and a summary card with recommendations.
What the AI can do in workspaces
Solmyr can fully manage workspaces on your behalf — creating them, adding and organizing blocks, and keeping everything in sync with your plan. It's not a one-shot generator; the same agent can come back later and evolve a workspace as your project grows.
Create & organize
Spin up new workspaces, add the right mix of blocks for the job, and tidy them up when things change.
Track progress
Move board items through columns, check off tasks, and keep KPI tiles up to date as work lands.
Plan your time
Manage calendar events end to end — adding, updating, or removing them, and linking them to the tasks they support.
Find things across projects
Search across your workspaces to pull context into chat or locate something you've half-forgotten about.
Good to know
- Workspaces show an "unseen" dot on the list page when something changed since your last visit.
- The workspace list shows badge counts for each block type and the number of open tasks — so you can triage without clicking in.
- Board tasks with unmet dependencies show a "Blocked by dependency" indicator. The AI respects these — it won't start working on a blocked task until its dependencies clear.
- When you ask Solmyr to do something and it creates workspace content, you'll see "Setting up workspace" in the chat activity feed.
