Workspace

The workspace is the first screen you see after signing in. It combines AI-powered document creation with project and document management.

---

​

AI document generation

At the top of the workspace, you’ll find the AI input field — describe the document you want to create and Autype generates it for you.

​

How to generate a document

1. Select a project — choose the target project from the folder dropdown (bottom-left of the input)
2. Describe your document — type a prompt like “Create a business proposal with executive summary, problem statement, solution, and pricing”
3. Choose a writing style — select from Professional, Academic, Casual, or Technical
4. (Optional) Attach files — attach up to 5 source files (PDF, DOCX, Excel, CSV, Markdown, text, JSON, or images) as reference material
5. Choose a document style — optionally select a reusable workspace or built-in style; otherwise the agent selects or creates a suitable style
6. Reference an existing document — type / in the prompt and choose a document with the keyboard or mouse
7. Click the send button — the agent may ask focused questions before it creates the document; open the result when generation completes

​

Quick prompts

Below the input field, four prompt cards offer ready-made starting points:

• Business Proposal — executive summary, problem statement, solution, pricing
• Technical Documentation — API overview, authentication, endpoints, examples
• Project Report — introduction, methodology, findings, conclusion
• Project Plan — timeline, milestones, risks, resources

Click any card to fill the input with the prompt text, then customize it before generating.

Organization switcher

If you belong to multiple organizations, use the organization switcher at the top of the workspace to switch between them. Each organization has its own projects, documents, settings, and subscription. Your role (Owner, Admin, Member) is displayed next to each organization name.

​

Projects & documents

Autype organizes content in a two-level hierarchy: Projects contain Documents.

​

Projects view

When no project is selected, the workspace shows your projects in a compact list by default. Last modified reflects the newest document change inside each project, not only the project record itself. Each project row or card shows:

• Project name
• Last modified date
• Lock icon for private projects

​

Creating a project

Click the ”+ New Project” card to create a new project.

​

Project actions

Open the ⋯ menu for a project to:

• Rename the project
• Delete the project (and all its documents)

​

Documents view

Click a project to see its documents. A ”← Back to Projects” button appears at the top.

​

Creating a document

Inside a project, click ”+ New Document” to create a blank document. You can also:

• Import an existing .aud file (Autype’s native format)
• Import a PDF, DOCX, or ODT file. DOCX uses the validated editable roundtrip importer; any unavoidable normalizations are reported after import.

​

Document actions

Hover over a document card and click the ⋯ menu to:

• Rename the document
• Duplicate the document
• Download the .aud file
• Delete the document

Tabs: Documents & Templates

The workspace has two tabs:

​

Templates

Templates are public starting points that anyone can browse. The template grid uses cached first-page previews so large catalogs remain fast to scan. Open Details to inspect the complete rendered PDF, page count, category, and template information. Use template copies the template into a project as a normal document that you can edit independently. Template owners can upload or update templates. Autype renders the full PDF and regenerates the cached preview when the template source changes; existing document copies are unaffected.

Search, sort & view modes

​

Search / filter

Use the search field in the controls bar to find documents across projects. When the query is empty, the projects list is shown. Search and filters are applied server-side before pagination, so matches are not limited to the currently loaded page. Inside a project, the same control searches that project’s documents.

​

Sort

Click the sort dropdown to order items by:

• Last Modified (default)
• Name
• Date Created

Click the same sort option again to toggle between ascending and descending order.

​

View modes

Toggle between two view modes using the icons in the controls bar: Projects, documents, and templates are loaded in server-side pages. Moving to another page does not change the active search, category filter, or sort order.

Sidebar & navigation

The workspace sidebar (visible on desktop) provides quick access to:

• Workspace — return to the main workspace
• Settings — open the settings modal
• Theme toggle — switch between light and dark mode
• User menu — profile, sign out
