# Workspace
> Your central hub — create documents with AI, manage projects, switch organizations, and navigate your documents.
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 3 files (PDF, DOCX, images, CSV, etc. — max 20 MB each) as reference material
5. **Click the send button** — Autype generates the document and opens it in the editor
Document generation consumes credits. See [Pricing](/getting-started/pricing) for credit costs.
### 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.
### Writing styles
| Style | Description |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Professional** | Formal, business-appropriate tone |
| **Academic** | Scholarly, research-oriented style |
| **Casual** | Friendly, conversational tone |
| **Technical** | Precise, detailed technical writing |

## 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 all your projects as cards.
Each project 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.
| Option | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name** | Project name (required) |
| **Description** | Optional description |
| **Visibility** | `Public` (visible to all org members) or `Private` (only you) |
### Project actions
Hover over a project card and click the **⋯** menu 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 (experimental conversion)
### Document actions

## Tabs: Documents & Templates
The workspace has two tabs:
| Tab | Content |
