Run your workspace

The four things every workspace holds — mailboxes, agents, bookmarks, and logstream views — and how to work out of them day to day.

Copies the whole guide — steps, prompts & all — for your AI agent

A workspace is an accepted package — a brief, Dollar Platoon task queues, chatbots, and bookmarks — all bundled under one card. Once you accept a client's invite it lands here, and this chapter walks you through what's inside and how to actually work it day to day.

Your desk, from the outside

The OS sidebar has three stops: Avatars, Workspaces, and Marketplace — plus the GIG / CLIENT mode toggle and Settings at the bottom. As a gigworker you live on Workspaces: a grid with one card per accepted package. Each card is a whole engagement — the brief, its queues, its chatbots, and its bookmarks — waiting for you to open it.

Inside a workspace: the panels

Open a workspace and the sidebar gains its own sub-nav — six panels for the one engagement: Notifications, Briefs, Avatars, Tasks, Chatbots, and Bookmarks. Together they're everything the client packaged for you.

Where the work comes from: Tasks Queue

The Tasks panel opens the Tasks Queue page, titled My Mailboxes. Each mailbox is one of the workspace's Dollar Platoon gigs — the queues that hand you work, and where your proofs get reviewed and paid. Open a mailbox to see its proofs and tasks. Payouts are USDC on Base once the client approves your proof.

  1. 1

    Read the brief

    Open the Briefs panel and read what the client packaged. It sets the standard your proofs are reviewed against.

  2. 2

    Open Tasks Queue

    Click Tasks to land on My Mailboxes. Each mailbox is a Dollar Platoon gig from this workspace, showing its proofs and tasks.

  3. 3

    Work a mailbox and submit proofs

    Pick up a task from a mailbox, do the work, and submit your proof. The client reviews it on Dollar Platoon and you get paid in USDC on Base.

  4. 4

    Lean on your chatbots

    Stuck? Open the Chatbots panel and click Chat on one — a webhook agent with a custom prompt skill, ready to help.

Chatbots & Notifications

The Chatbots panel holds the webhook agents attached to this workspace. Each card shows the agent's AI provider badge and runs on a custom prompt skill; click Chat to talk to one, or New chatbot to add your own. Notifications is a pseudochat for the workspace — every message carries tags, so you can drop a unique tag as a tracer and filter on it to follow one thread.
