# Enterprise assistant

> Gaia can provide a general enterprise assistant where users organize documents into shared folders, collaborate with peers and agents, search grounded evidence, and create new outputs from the same context.

## Positioning

Let teams work over shared document folders, edit artifacts, and turn questions into reusable outputs together.

- Hero label: Document-centric team workspaces with shared conversations and outputs

## Challenge

Teams often need a flexible assistant that works over mixed document sets without forcing them into a rigid workflow first.

## Goals

- Give teams a shared workspace for asking, drafting, and modifying across document collections.
- Combine human collaboration and agent assistance in one conversation context.
- Link open-ended assistance with more structured workflows when needed.

## Core functionality

- Folder-based document organization across text files, PDFs, spreadsheets, and other business artifacts.
- Folder-scoped conversations and folder-grounded search with shared access roles.
- Question answering, drafting, editing, and generation against the selected folder context.
- Conversation artifacts for markdown, spreadsheets, and other outputs that teams can revise and export.
- Collaboration between human users and agents inside the same conversation or workspace.
- Extension into package-backed governance, review routing, and downstream workflow automation when the workspace needs stricter operating controls.
- Extension path into more structured document workflow or graph-based automation applications when the process matures.

## Typical industries

- Professional services
- Corporate functions
