Getting started

Core concepts

Learn the main Clankee ideas: teams, projects, knowledge, integrations, workspaces, and tasks.

Clankee is organized around a few concepts. Understanding them makes the rest of the product easier to navigate.

Team

A team is the group that owns projects, members, and AI provider settings. When you create an account, Clankee creates a personal team for you (named like “Your Name's Team”).

You can create additional shared teams, invite people, and switch between teams from the user menu.

See Teams and Roles and permissions.

Project

A project is the home for a business, product, or initiative. Each project has its own:

Knowledge base and Brain
Integrations
AI model assignments
Tasks
Workspaces

Clankee stays focused on the right context because work happens inside a project.

See Projects overview.

Knowledge base and Brain

The knowledge base stores notes you add and knowledge Clankee finds from connected tools.

The Brain is a searchable map of embedded knowledge chunks. People with permission to update the project can open it from the sidebar.

See Knowledge base and Brain.

Integrations connect third-party apps (for example Notion, Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub, Linear) to a project. After you connect an account, you can enable tools and choose whether they auto-run or ask for confirmation.

See Integrations overview.

Workspace

A workspace is a chat platform connection for a project. Discord is available today. Slack and Microsoft Teams appear in the product as Coming soon.

Once a Discord workspace is connected and the bot is invited, Clankee can talk in channels, keep conversation history, and send task notifications.

See Workspaces overview and Connect Discord.

Task and tool run

A task is a job Clankee can run: Discover, Custom, or Sync Discord knowledge. Tasks can run on demand or on a schedule, and can notify Discord channels or members when they finish.

A task run is one execution of a task. Nested tool runs show the individual tool calls that happened during that work.

See Tasks overview and Tool runs.

How the pieces fit together

A Team contains one or more Projects.
Each Project has a Knowledge base, Brain, Integrations, Tasks, and Workspaces.
Workspaces connect chat platforms (Discord today).
Tasks produce Task runs, which may include nested Tool runs.

      ├── Knowledge base / Brain

      ├── Tasks → Task runs → Tool runs
      └── Workspaces → Discord
