You only need a few ideas to get comfortable with Vecbase. ## Workspaces A [**workspace**](/workspace/overview) is where a team keeps a related area of work. It contains the Agents, tasks, files, connections, and settings for that work. A team can use one workspace or separate workspaces for different projects or access needs. ## Agents and tasks An [**Agent**](/agents/overview) is an AI teammate you set up for a responsibility. It has a name, instructions, a chosen model, a work environment, and access you control. A **task** is one piece of work or one conversation with that Agent. New tasks are useful when the goal or context changes. **Name the responsibility** “Customer Research” is easier to manage than “My AI.” A clear name reminds everyone what the Agent should and should not do. ## Files The [**File Library**](/agents/files) is the shared home for team files. Inside it, **file spaces** keep files organized by project or purpose. Files attached to a task are available for that piece of work. Files on a Dedicated cloud computer stay with that Agent. These are different from the team's File Library, so save important shared results in the right file space. ## Skills and connections A [**Skill**](/agents/skills) is a reusable set of instructions for a familiar kind of work. It helps an Agent follow the same method again. A [**Connection**](/workspace/connectors) links an approved external app or account to the workspace. Connecting an account does not automatically give every Agent access. You choose which Agent may use it. Built-in capabilities, Skills, and Connections solve different needs. Start with what Vecbase already provides, then add only what the work requires. ## Access and approvals Access answers a simple question: **who or what may use this resource?** [Agent access and approvals](/administration/access-approvals) decide which tools, file spaces, and connections an Agent may use. Sensitive actions may ask a person to approve them before they continue. [Billing](/workspace/billing) also affects availability. When a needed plan or credit balance is not available, new work pauses instead of running without control.
