AI Studio
AI Studio is your comprehensive workspace for interacting with AI models, knowledge bases, intelligent agents, and applying guardrails for safe and controlled conversations. This unified platform enables you to leverage the full power of Amorphic's AI capabilities—combining natural language interactions, robust guardrails for safety and compliance, project management, and data-driven workflows.

Overview
AI Studio serves as your central hub for:

- Project Management: Organize and manage multiple projects that leverage AI capabilities
- File Management: Upload, organize, and query documents and data files
- Notes and Documentation: Capture and organize insights from your AI interactions
AI Studio requires Claude 4 Sonnet to be enabled, as the system uses this model internally. Additionally, any models you want to use for querying must be configured in the 'Chat Interactions' settings. For configuration details, see the Assign Models documentation.

Key Features
1. AI Data Assistant
The AI Data Assistant is your primary interface for engaging with Amorphic's AI capabilities:
Multi-Source Communication
The chat interface seamlessly integrates with different AI components:
- AI Models: Query different models and ask questions on top of your files
- Knowledge Bases: Query structured knowledge repositories with context-aware responses
- Agents: Interact with specialized AI agents designed for specific business functions

File Upload and Processing
- Document Upload: Upload documents directly to chat sessions using the attachment icon
- Multi-format Support: Support for PDF, TXT, CSV, TSV, JSON, XLSX, DOCX and MD file formats
- File Q&A: Select a file and ask questions on top of it. This is available when you select the Model option for querying

2. Projects
Organize your AI work into project-based sessions:
- Project Creation: Create new projects for specific initiatives or workflows that need to access knowledgebases or agents in a particular order or fashion
Example: A customer support workflow might require: (1) First query a knowledge base to find product documentation, (2) Then invoke a refund processing agent if a refund is needed, (3) Finally invoke a follow-up agent to schedule customer satisfaction surveys. Create a project with these knowledge bases and agents, then add custom instructions like: "When handling support requests, first search the product documentation KB. If a refund is requested, use the refund agent. After resolution, use the survey agent to schedule follow-up."
- Project Organization: Group related chats, files, and notes within projects
- Project Management: Access and manage multiple projects from the sidebar
Projects help you maintain context and organization for complex, multi-session AI interactions.
