The AI Workspace: build with the Builder chat
The AI Workspace is where you work with AI in Mass. It opens full-screen and is built around the Builder chat, which shows its reasoning and tool steps as it works. This guide covers the Builder chat, the side canvas, editing by chat, custom Experts and Skills, Recipes, and the model catalog.

Opening the AI Workspace
The AI Workspace has its own top-level entry in the sidebar.
Click AI Workspace in the sidebar to go straight to it. On plans that do not include it, the menu item shows a Pro badge.
The workspace opens edge to edge, without the dashboard header and side navigation around it.
The Builder chat
The AI Workspace opens on the Builder, which streams the AI's reasoning and each tool step as it works.
What the Builder creates is shown inline in the chat. Choose the model for the chat from the full model catalog with the model picker.
- Workspace data in chat — the Builder chat can look up information from your workspace to answer questions. It only reads data and does not change anything.
- Live updates — changes the AI makes to your workspace appear instantly in every open tab.
The side canvas, artifacts & status bar
See what the AI builds next to the chat, and keep track of everything it has made.
- Side canvas — when the AI starts a build or brings an artifact forward, a resizable canvas slides in next to the chat.
- Open in canvas — artifacts in the chat show an Open in canvas button.
- Artifacts and Manage view — see everything the AI has created in your workspace with previews, and browse the funnels, experts, and products you have already built.
- Status bar — Versions, Workers, Plans, and Artifacts tiles show live counts, with details one click away.
Editing by chat & AI-written funnels
Ask the AI to change something it already built, and it edits that artifact in place instead of starting over.
This works for funnels, products, documents, emails, and ads. For example, ask the AI to change a headline on a funnel it already built and watch it update in the side canvas.
- AI-written sections — funnels built in the Builder chat get AI-written copy for each section instead of placeholder text.
- Build progress — while a funnel is built, the section list shows a progress track, a live Building cue, and a done/total count.
Custom Experts & Skills
Create your own AI experts and give them reusable skills.
You'll find the Experts Library and Skills Library under AI Setup in the sidebar.
- Experts Library — browse, create, clone, edit, and delete custom AI experts, each with its own persona, model, allowed tools, and attached context. Create an expert once, then clone it for each client.
- Skills Library — write reusable skills and choose which tools each expert can use them with. Write a skill once and let several experts use it.
Recipes
Recipes are multi-step workflows that run a series of experts in order.
Run a recipe from the Recipes tab and follow its live step-by-step progress, or create and edit recipes with their own inputs and steps. The Recipes Library page in the sidebar lets you create, run, and manage your recipes.

A smarter App Builder chat
The same release made the App Builder chat more context-aware.
In the App Builder, the AI chat can see the page you are previewing, every changed file links straight to its page in the preview, and new Supabase projects are set up and connected for you. See the App Builder guide for details.
