Human+Machine · Productivity · Business

Spaces is a desktop AI workspace from Human+Machine that gives your team one shared space per project, where people and their AI agents work side by side. Instead of each teammate running a private chat thread on a separate laptop, everyone sees the same chats, files, and scheduled routines, and each person keeps using the ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account they already pay for. It's team collaboration with the agents included.

About Spaces

What Is Spaces

Spaces is a shared AI workspace built for small teams, and it runs as a desktop app on Apple silicon Macs and Windows PCs. The core idea is simple: a project lives in one space, not in whoever happened to ask the question. Chats, files, and the AI agents working in them sit in the same place, so Monday's decision is still visible on Thursday for everyone.

The problem it targets is context drift. When five people each keep a private AI thread, the project's context scatters across browser tabs and separate machines, and every new question restarts with a fresh explanation of the job. Spaces pulls that context into a room. Add a specialist (or several), and each one keeps its own notes and tools while the space holds the shared record.

The main limit is that Spaces isn't an AI model itself, and it won't sell you tokens. You bring your own provider key, and everyone who works in a shared space needs a paid seat. The free tier is a single person on their own computer, so a team's first real cost is roughly ten dollars a person a year.

Getting Started

  1. Download the Spaces desktop app for Mac or Windows. The free version needs no account.
  2. Connect an AI provider by pasting a ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini key you already have. One is enough to begin.
  3. Open a space, name the project, and put a specialist to work inside it.
  4. Add files and invite teammates when you want the space shared instead of personal.
  5. Set up a routine if you want standing work to run on a schedule.

Key features

Shared project spaces

Each project gets one space where chats and files live together, instead of sitting inside one person's private thread. Anyone with a seat sees the same conversation and the same documents, so the team stops rebuilding context from scratch. This is the feature that separates Spaces from a plain AI assistant. For most teams, this is the whole point.

Specialist agents with separate memory

You don't hire one general assistant, you hire several. A researcher, a copywriter, a launch lead, each with its own instructions, notes, and tools, and anyone in the space can put them to work. Separate memory means the researcher's findings don't get buried under the copywriter's drafts.

Scheduled routines

Routines run standing work unattended. Set a morning brief, a follow-up, or a weekly recap and the space keeps going when nobody's watching, pinging someone only when a decision is needed. It turns the workspace into something that produces output on its own schedule. Set it and forget it.

Bring your own provider

Connect the ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account your team already pays for, or run a model on the machine itself. Spaces is the app those models work in, so you're buying the space rather than another subscription for tokens. You can bring more than one provider and switch per agent.

Built-in browser

Agents use the real web from inside the app. They research, click through pages, and stay signed in, and because the browser lives beside the chat, the agent sees the same page you do. That keeps web-heavy work like pricing checks or competitor reading inside the space. No copy-paste required.

Telegram access

So what happens when you leave the desk? Link Telegram once and the same chats keep going on your phone, including photos, files, and voice notes. There's no separate plan for mobile, which matters for teams that aren't always at a desk.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Keeps project context in one shared place instead of scattered private threads.
  • Works with the ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini account you already pay for, so no new AI subscription.
  • Free desktop version with no account, which makes trying it low-risk.
  • Cloud seats cost little, so even a five-person team pays $55 a year.
  • Agents and API keys stay on each person's machine rather than in the cloud.

Cons

  • Every person who works in a shared space needs a paid seat, so costs scale with team size.
  • It only runs on Apple silicon Macs and Windows, so Intel Macs and Linux are left out.
  • It isn't a model or token provider, so you still manage your own AI provider keys and limits.

Frequently asked questions

The desktop app is free on your own computer with no account, and you only pay when other people need to work in the same space. A seat costs $1.49 a month or $10.99 a year per person.
