Mothership

Mothership is the AI command center for your entire workspace. It can build workflows, edit existing resources, analyze tables, create files, search knowledge bases, schedule recurring jobs, and open the relevant resource on the right side of the chat.

Use Copilot when you are already inside one workflow and want focused help editing that workflow. Use Mothership when the task spans the whole workspace.

What You Can Do

Workflows

Build, edit, run, debug, deploy, and organize workflows.

Research

Search the web, read pages, crawl sites, and write research reports.

Files & Documents

Upload, create, edit, and generate workspace files, charts, images, and decks.

Tables

Create tables, query rows, update records, and export CSVs.

Automation & Configuration

Schedule jobs, take direct actions, connect integrations, and configure workspace settings.

Knowledge Bases

Create knowledge bases, add documents, query content, and connect them to workflows.

How It Works

Mothership receives a workspace snapshot with each request: workflows, tables, knowledge bases, files, credentials, scheduled jobs, execution logs, custom tools, MCP servers, and integrations. That means you can refer to resources by name:

"Run the invoice workflow"
"Analyze the leads table and open it"
"Add this PDF to the support knowledge base"
"Schedule the morning CRM sync for 8am every weekday"

For complex tasks, Mothership delegates to specialized agents. You may see expandable sections for building, research, files, tables, authentication, jobs, debugging, and deployment while it works.

Adding Context

Bring workspace objects into the conversation with the + menu, @ mentions, drag-and-drop from the sidebar, or by opening a resource in the right-side panel. Mothership can also open resources automatically when it creates or modifies them.

Resource	How Mothership uses it
Workflow	Reads and edits the canvas, then opens it in the resource panel
Table	Queries, updates, exports, or opens the table editor
File	Reads, edits, previews, or generates workspace files
Knowledge Base	Searches documents or adds new documents
Scheduled Task	Reviews configuration and run history
Log	Reads execution summaries and failure details

Layout

Mothership has two panes:

The chat thread on the left shows your messages, Mothership responses, thinking blocks, tool progress, and queued messages.
The resource panel on the right opens workflows, tables, files, knowledge bases, scheduled tasks, and other resources as tabs.

The panel is resizable. Tabs can be opened, activated, closed, and reordered as the conversation evolves.

Long-Running Work

Mothership can work for up to one hour on a single request. While it is responding, additional messages are queued and processed in order unless you stop the current response or send a queued message immediately.

Common Questions

Copilot is scoped to the current workflow. Mothership is workspace-wide and can coordinate workflows, tables, files, knowledge bases, scheduled jobs, credentials, integrations, and research from one conversation.

Yes. Reference the workflow by name, open it in the resource panel, or add it with @ or the + menu. Mothership reads the existing workflow before applying edits.

Yes. When it creates, reads, or updates a workspace resource, it can open that resource as a tab in the right-side panel.

A single Mothership request can run for up to one hour. For recurring work, ask Mothership to create a scheduled job.

Mothership processes one response at a time. Messages sent while it is working are queued.
