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.
