Eden is a workspace where your files, links, notes, and AI all live together. This guide explains how everything is organized and how the pieces connect.

The Main Areas

Sidebar (Left)

Your content library. Everything you upload or create appears here, organized in folders.

• Folders — Organize content however you like

• Files — Videos, PDFs, images, audio

• Links — YouTube, Instagram, web pages

• Notes — Your writing and ideas

• Projects — Dedicated spaces for focused work with AI

Main Area (Center)

Where you view and work with content. What you see depends on what you've selected:

• File view — view your folders and files, search, and filter

• A video — Player with transcript, comments, and clips

• A PDF — Document viewer

• A note — Markdown editor

• A project — Focused workspace where AI has context of all your added files

Quick Create Bar (Top)

Fast access to create new items while in the workspace view:

• Note — Start writing immediately

• Project — Create a focused workspace for a specific piece of work

• Link — Paste a URL to save

• Upload — Add files from your computer

What Can You Store in Eden?

Eden handles many types of content:

Everything you add is automatically processed so you can search it, reference it with AI, and find it later.

How Content Gets Processed

When you upload or link something, Eden works in the background:

1. Downloads/stores the content

2. Transcribes any speech

3. Analyzes visual content frame-by-frame

4. Creates segments with tags and descriptions

5. Makes everything searchable

You'll see a processing indicator while this happens. Once complete, the content is fully searchable and ready to use with AI.

Working with Panes

Eden lets you open multiple items side-by-side using panes. This is powerful for:

• Watching a video while taking notes

• Comparing two documents

• Working in a project while referencing research

To open an item in a pane:

• Option+click (Mac) or Alt+click (Windows) any item

• Right-click → Open in Pane

• Hover over an item in sidebar → click the Open in Pane icon

You can open as many panes as you like and drag them to rearrange the layout.

The Four Core Features

Eden is built around four main capabilities:

1. Your Drive, Supercharged

Store everything — files, links, notes — in one place. Everything is automatically transcribed, tagged, and analyzed. No more losing ideas across scattered apps. Your workspace isn't just storage — it's your AI's memory.

2. Search That Actually Works

Find anything by describing it. Search for "person in red jacket" or "when they mention the budget" and Eden finds the exact frame or moment. You can also use @ mentions in AI chats to reference specific files, or ask AI to search your workspace for you.

3. Projects for Focused Work

Create a dedicated space for a specific piece of work — an article, a video script, a client deliverable. Add your files, research, and references, and AI automatically has context of everything in the Project. Write and edit directly in the Project while chatting with AI — no switching between tools.

4. AI Agents That Do Things

Eden's AI doesn't just answer questions — it performs actions in your workspace. It can create files, organize folders, search the web, and execute complex multi-step tasks. Tell it about your work and watch it build your entire workspace structure, research topics, draft documents, and maintain your organization system.

How It All Connects

Here's a typical workflow showing how the pieces work together:

1. Upload research — Add YouTube videos, PDFs, and articles to your workspace

2. Let Eden process — Transcription and analysis happens automatically

3. Search when needed — Find specific moments or ideas across all your content

4. Create a Project — Set up a focused space for your current piece of work

5. Add your sources — Pull in the files and research relevant to this project

6. Work with AI — Ask questions, get summaries, and draft content — AI has full context of everything in your Project

7. Let agents handle the rest — Delegate organization, research, and busywork to AI agents
