Build a workspace for your own work.

Ran the Quickstart? Then you've seen what a finished workspace feels like. This page is about getting one for your work — by hand in five minutes, or designed with you by a Bootstrap Agent.

By hand (five minutes)

Menu → New Workspace, name it, then open it in the Explorer and add an agent — a name, a description, and instructions in plain markdown. That's genuinely all an agent is; open its AGENT.md and you're looking at the whole thing. Start a chat and refine the instructions as you go.

With a Bootstrap Agent

A Bootstrap Agent is an AI agent that designs and builds a workspace with you: it interviews you about the work, proposes a plan, previews it, applies it through the app's API, and validates the result. Today, your coding agent plays that role — every GoTo Agents instance directory is pre-wired for it: AGENTS.md is the operator guide, .claude/skills/ carries the authoring skills, and a generated .mcp.json connects the GoTo Agents MCP server automatically.

With the app running, open a terminal in your instance directory, start Claude Code (or another MCP-capable coding agent), and describe what you want:

I want a workspace for planning my conference talks — brainstorming
angles, structuring the talk, and punching up slides. Design it with
me, then bootstrap it.

The agent proposes the roster and activities, previews the plan, applies it, and validates — and the new workspace appears in the UI, ready to chat, every file inspectable and editable.

Learn by extending

The Pulse Studio demo ships guided exercises in documents/exercises.md: a multi-model setup, live web search over MCP, and three bootstrap-extend exercises that add new agents and activities to a working studio — each one a prompt you hand to your Bootstrap Agent. From there, the Workspaces, Agents, and Activities pages cover the pieces in depth.
