# Organize work with projects

> Keep related Adam tasks, shared files, instructions, and memories together in a project.

A project gives related tasks a shared starting point. Use one for a product, client, design, or other stream of work that needs the same instructions and reference files.

Each project can include:

* a **brief** that tells Adam what every task in the project should know;
* **files** that are available to tasks in the project;
* related **tasks**; and
* a project memory setting that controls where memories learned during those tasks can be used.

<Note>
  Projects are available on paid plans.
</Note>

## Create a project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Projects">
    Select **Projects** in the sidebar, then select **New Project**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the project">
    Use a name that distinguishes this work from your other projects.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add shared context">
    Write a brief and attach any files that every task in the project should be able to use. You can add or change both later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the memory scope">
    Select **Project only** to keep memories inside the project, or **All tasks** to let Adam use them elsewhere in your workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the project">
    Select **Create project**. Adam opens the new project when it is ready.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Start or move tasks

There are three ways to add work to a project:

* Open the project and select **New task**.
* Choose a project from the project picker beside the model picker before starting a task.
* Open a task you own, select its action menu, choose **Move**, and select a project.

The project picker appears only when you have at least one project. A task started inside a project receives the project brief and shared files automatically.

To take a task out of a project, open the task menu, choose **Move**, then select **Remove**. Only the task owner can move it between projects.

## Maintain the brief and files

Open a project to see its **Tasks** and **Files** tabs.

The brief is editable on the project page. Select the text, make your changes, then click or tab away to save it. Keep the brief focused on information that should apply to every task, such as:

* the outcome and current stage of the work;
* requirements and constraints;
* naming or documentation conventions; and
* decisions that future tasks should preserve.

Use the **Files** tab to upload more reference files. Project tasks can use these files without you attaching them to every conversation.

<Tip>
  Put project-wide context in the brief. Keep instructions that only apply to one piece of work in that task's first message.
</Tip>

## Choose how project memory works

Project memory controls where Adam may reuse memories learned while working in the project.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Project only">
    Only tasks in this project can use its memories. Use this for work that should stay isolated from unrelated tasks.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="All tasks">
    Tasks inside and outside the project can use its memories. Use this when the knowledge is useful across your workspace.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

The setting does not change the project's brief or shared files. To change it later, open the project action menu, select **Settings**, then choose a memory option in **Project Settings**.

## Control access

On a shared team, the project owner can set the project to **Private** or **Team**.

* **Private** limits access to the owner and people invited to the project.
* **Team** makes the project available to the team.

Use **Share** to invite someone directly as **Can edit** or **Can view**. Editors can work in project tasks; viewers have read-only access. Projects do not support anonymous public links.

People invited directly to a project can leave it from the project action menu. The owner can change or remove an invited person's access from **Share**.

## Find and manage projects

The **Projects** page lets you search projects and switch between grid and list views. Use a project's action menu to pin or rename it. Project owners can also change settings or delete the project.

Deleting a project removes the grouping and its shared access. Its tasks and files are kept, but they are no longer grouped through that project.
