What is a Project?

A Project is a container for chats that share context. Any file you attach to a Project — a style guide, a set of reference documents, a spec — is visible to every chat inside that Project without re-uploading. Chats stay separate; the shared material sits above them.

Use a Project when the work has more than one conversation. Writing a book, running a Q4 initiative, maintaining a client relationship — these are Projects. A one-off question is a chat.

To create a Project, click the "+" next to the Projects section in the sidebar and name it. Attach files immediately or drag them in later. Any chat you start with that Project selected will see the attached files as context. Delete a chat inside a Project and only the chat goes; the Project's files and other chats stay intact. Delete a Project and all chats inside it are deleted with it (with a confirmation prompt).

Projects are also where voice guides live. Attach a document titled something like "voice.md" with your writing style rules, and every chat in the Project will follow it after being pointed at it once. This is the difference between having LADLE match your voice for one message and having it match your voice consistently.

Projects are scoped to your account. There's no way to share a Project with a collaborator yet — that's shared context work that belongs to a Teams tier we haven't built.
