What is d5s?
Understand d5s multiplayer AI, one workspace for people and agents, and the four ways to turn context into governed work.
d5s is multiplayer AI: one workspace that people and AI agents share. It brings the conversation, the context the agent should remember, the tools it may use, and the record of what ran into one product.
A colleague and an agent can pick up the same project, and each run stays inspectable to the people that project is shared with, so a handoff does not mean explaining the work again.
An organization can govern several workspaces while each workspace remains a separate day-to-day and content boundary. Joining the organization does not automatically reveal every workspace: an organization Owner or Admin assigns access to a person or group.
An organization also chooses the region where its d5s data and infrastructure live. Every workspace inherits that region. Your account is not permanently locked to one region. The workspace switcher keeps the organizations in your current region prominent and places other active cells in a smaller Other regions section. An available destination opens its regional app and asks you to choose an account there; a destination that is not available yet says Coming soon and has no link. Each regional app's own organization list remains authoritative.
The sidebar switcher opens on the organization you are in and lists its workspaces, so any workspace in that organization is one selection away. Below them, a single Switch organization row opens the list of your other organizations, with your personal organization listed first and marked Personal whenever it is not the one you are in. Each organization is one selection: choosing it takes you to the workspace you last used there, or to its first workspace. Where you are an organization Owner or Admin, the switcher header carries a Create workspace plus button for the organization you are in, and an organization that has no workspace yet offers Create first workspace in that list. Settings keeps account and organization administration in the sidebar alongside a Workspace settings entry, and the page body opens the workspace sections available to your role. Organization Owners and Admins use Organization > General to change the organization display name without changing its URL slug. On a wide screen the active workspace section tab names the page and a compact workspace switcher sits in the top right of that body; on a narrow screen the sections become a dropdown, the switcher spans the width beneath the scope tag, and the section name is the page heading. Workspace General is available to workspace members, but changing the workspace display name there requires a workspace Owner or Admin. The workspace Members section is available to organization Owners and Admins — a workspace Owner or Admin who is an ordinary member of the organization cannot open it — and Models, Network, and API Keys require a workspace Owner or Admin.
The main sidebar keeps the most recently active persistent teammates under Your Crew, including their latest reply, working state, and unread updates. It shows as many as the sidebar height fits without pushing the groups below it out of view, up to ten, and never fewer than five even on a short sidebar; View all agents opens the full directory. Their continuing conversations stay there instead of being duplicated in Recents. Projects sits under Shared work, while workspace-wide Skills and Connectors, plus Automations and Dashboards, are directly available under More. More starts collapsed because these entries are used less often than the rest; select the group heading to open it. That group shows no count of the entries it hides, and it does not remember being opened: the next time the sidebar loads it starts collapsed again. A group that holds the page you are on opens itself, unless you collapsed that group yourself.
When you collapse the sidebar to its narrow icon rail, an open Your Crew group keeps the agent avatars and status dots, again as many as the rail's height fits. Hover or focus an avatar for its name and status, or select it to open the agent. The controls keep their vertical positions when you switch widths. A closed group becomes a single button that opens its entries in a menu, drawn with that group's own icon: a folder for Shared work and an ellipsis for More, so two closed groups never look like one entry drawn twice. Groups you already opened keep their icon rows. The Recents icon opens recent work and starred projects.
The sidebar is yours to arrange. Select the heading of a group to collapse or open it, and use the ⋯ control beside a heading to hide the whole group or to open Settings → Account → Sidebar. That page turns each group on or off, chooses which groups start collapsed, removes the Your Crew and Shared work headings, and pins or unpins individual entries. More, Starred, and Recents keep their headings however you set Group labels, so Skills and Connectors stay grouped and still start collapsed. Anything you unpin moves into the More group as an ordinary row, so nothing you turn off becomes unreachable; that group cannot be hidden, and Skills and Connectors always live there. Your Crew and Agents always stay in place. The layout follows your account, so it is the same on every device, while a group you collapse or open by hand stays that way on that device only — except More, which always starts from the setting. Automations and Dashboards ship unpinned. Invite people ships pinned for eligible workspace administrators, and you can unpin it from the same page.
Organization Owners and Admins can compare usage across those workspaces without receiving access to their projects or conversations. Opening a billed run's execution evidence is a separate action and succeeds only when the administrator can still view its source conversation. Workspace stats use the workspace recorded when the usage occurred, so historical usage remains attributable after a workspace is deleted.
The basic unit is not a disposable prompt. You can begin with a chat, keep useful context in a project, and then turn a stable pattern into an agent, automation, or dashboard without rebuilding the work from scratch.
Four ways to work
- Chats are interactive conversations. Use them to explore a problem, review intermediate work, or make decisions with the agent.
- Agents are persistent teammates. Each has a role, standing instructions, a home project, and one continuing conversation. Optional Slack, d5s email addresses, and dedicated Gmail mailboxes can admit external work into that same durable inbox under channel-specific audience controls; Slack coworkers can also exchange files with the agent.
- Automations are repeatable agent jobs. They run manually, once at a chosen time, or on a recurring schedule, and each occurrence has its own run record.
- Dashboards are durable, agent-built outputs. The current result is easy to return to, while refresh runs and previous versions remain inspectable.
What stays consistent
Every chat, agent, automation, and dashboard belongs to a project under the hood. A project supplies reusable instructions, files, memory, skills, and connector access. Workspace connectors are available to a new project by default; turn off any connector that project, chat, or agent should not use from its connector settings. If you start a chat, automation, or dashboard without choosing a project, d5s creates an unlisted project for it automatically. A standalone chat can surface that context later with Save as project; automation and dashboard projects remain represented by those resources. An agent's home project is managed through the agent and intentionally hidden from project listings. Conversationally created agents use only their draft-reviewed connections and do not inherit future workspace credentials; see Create your first agent.
Work is executed in sessions and runs. The surrounding session keeps continuity; each run keeps its own progress, tool activity, usage, result, and failure state.
Start with the decision
Start a first chat if you want to learn by doing. If you already know the outcome you need, choose a work mode. To understand why the app is organized this way, read how d5s fits together.
