Organize files and chats into dedicated workspaces where your AI assistant understands the full context
Shannon AI Projects are intelligent workspaces that bring together files, documents, and AI conversations in one organized place. Instead of uploading files one at a time and losing context between conversations, Projects let you create dedicated environments where the AI has continuous access to all your relevant materials.
Think of Projects as specialized folders that don't just store files - they enable the AI to understand, analyze, and work with your entire collection of documents simultaneously. Whether you're researching a topic, working on a codebase, or analyzing business data, Projects keep everything organized and accessible.
Keep related files and conversations together in dedicated project spaces
AI has simultaneous access to all project files for comprehensive understanding
Every chat in a project draws from all uploaded documents
Define how the AI should approach work for each specific project
Give your project a name, description, and optionally set custom instructions that guide how the AI should work within this specific context.
Add documents, code files, spreadsheets, or any other materials relevant to your project. The AI will have access to all uploaded content.
Begin chatting with Shannon AI. Every question you ask will be answered with full awareness of all project files and any custom instructions you've set.
Add more files as your project grows. Previous conversations and context are maintained, allowing for continuous, deep work over time.
Projects provide a centralized location for all your project-related files. Upload multiple documents and the AI automatically indexes them for intelligent retrieval during conversations.
Each project can have its own set of instructions that customize how the AI behaves. This is perfect for tailoring the assistant's approach based on the type of work you're doing.
Example instructions:
Conversations within a project are kept separate from your main chat history. This keeps your workspace organized and allows the AI to maintain relevant context for each distinct area of work.
Projects are versatile and can be applied to countless scenarios:
Upload source code files and have the AI understand your entire codebase for debugging, refactoring, or documentation.
Add spreadsheets and reports to get AI-powered insights, trend analysis, and data summarization.
Organize research papers, notes, and references for comprehensive literature review and synthesis.
Upload contracts and legal documents for analysis, comparison, and key term extraction.
Compile textbooks, lecture notes, and study guides for comprehensive exam preparation.
Gather market research, financial projections, and strategy documents in one workspace.
Organize source materials, research, and drafts for blog posts, articles, or reports.
Upload product docs and FAQs to create an intelligent support assistant.
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Create separate projects for distinct work areas | Dump unrelated files into one giant project |
| Write clear, specific custom instructions | Leave instructions empty or too vague |
| Use descriptive project names and descriptions | Name projects generically like "Project 1" |
| Remove outdated files to keep context clean | Let obsolete documents clutter your project |
| Reference specific files when asking questions | Assume AI knows which file you mean |
For best results, organize your project files logically and use descriptive filenames. The AI uses filenames as context clues when determining which documents to reference for your questions.
Deleting a project will remove all associated files and chat history. Make sure to export or backup any important information before deleting:
| Feature | Specification |

| Custom Instructions | Per-project system prompts |
| Chat History | Project-specific, persistent |
| AI Context | Full access to all project files |
| File Operations | Upload, view, delete |
| Project Operations | Create, open, delete, chat |
