Keep work organized your way

Projects are dedicated workspaces in Storytell. Each one keeps chats, assets, and knowledge separate, so you can focus on the task at hand without mixing contexts.

Use Projects to manage client work, run research, or organize internal experiments while keeping your team in sync.

Creating a Project

Starting a Project in Storytell is quick and intuitive:

  1. Open your sidebar — at the top, you'll see the Projects section. Click it to open the Projects panel, where you can manage your Projects.

  2. Add a new Project — click Add Project.

  3. Set your Project details — give your Project a name and optional description.

  4. Create the Project — once everything looks correct, hit Create Project to finalize.

Invite other people to a Project

After creating your Project, you have three ways to share it with others

  1. Open your sidebar — at the top, you'll see the Projects section. Click it to open the Projects panel, where you can manage your Projects.

  2. On the bottom half of the page is where you can invite other people

  3. Generate invitation links for your teammates — you can assign them as:

  4. Invite people:

    • By email: enter one or multiple email addresses in the email field. Use the dropdown beside the field to assign the invitee’s role (Owner, Collaborator, Reader).

    • By domain: enter a domain in the domain field. Use the dropdown next to the domain to assign the default role for anyone joining from that domain.

⚠️ Important: Double-check the invitation links to make sure each teammate has the intended role — Owner, Collaborator, or Reader.

Switching Between Projects

Projects are separate, so everything inside one Project is isolated:

  • Chats from one Project don’t appear in another.

  • Assets and knowledge are unique to each Project unless explicitly added.

Switching between Projects is simple:

  1. Open your sidebar and click on the Projects section at the top to open the Project panel.

  2. In the panel, you’ll see all Projects you’ve created or are a part of. Click on a Project to switch to it — your workspace will update automatically.

  3. Manage a Project: instead of clicking directly on a Project, click the Manage button at the top-right of the Project in the panel. This lets you edit all Project details, including name, description, roles, and invites.

This ensures that each Project is a clean, self-contained environment for focused collaboration.

Key Capabilities

Role-Based Collaboration

Each Project member has a role that determines their permissions: Owner, Collaborator, or Reader. This allows for flexible teamwork while maintaining control over sensitive information.

Segmented Knowledge

All chats, files, and insights remain contained in their respective Projects, so context is preserved, and cross-project clutter is eliminated.

Easy Team Management

Invite teammates by email or domain. Manage who can view, contribute, or manage the Project with simple links that assign roles automatically.
