Spaces
Spaces overview
Spaces are the rooms your team works in. Here is how they work.
Organising a space
Group canvases into folders, decide what belongs in messages vs canvases, and keep a space's tab bar tidy as it grows.
Organising across spaces
Name spaces so people can find them, share canvases between spaces instead of duplicating, and use crossposting to bridge conversations.
When people join or leave
How a space shows you who's coming and going, and why you won't get a notification for every join.
Groups
Tasks
Tasks overview
Track work with Linear-style boards that own their own prefix, share a task across boards, and link discussion to anything in Monad.
Creating and editing tasks
Make a task, set status / priority / assignee, build a Definition-of-Done checklist, break it into sub-tasks, and share it across boards.
Boards and sharing
Create a board with its own prefix, share a task across boards so it gets a new id on each, and reorder cards live.
Comments, mentions, and audit trail
Discuss tasks in threads, link to them with #PREFIX-N or a permalink from anywhere, and review every change in the audit log.

How canvas documents survive a flaky or offline connection — local snapshots, queued edits, and the revert-conflict prompt.
Sharing a document
Copy a link to a canvas document and who can open it when it lives in more than one space.
Canvas databases

Spreadsheet-style tables of records that live next to the conversation.
Creating a database

How agents improve over time
Your feedback trains your agents — every couple of days they learn from what worked and what didn't.
Skills

How agents tidy their memory overnight
Each night your assistant quietly consolidates what it has learned so its memory stays accurate and useful.
