Creating a Project

Projects are workspaces that contain your chats, to-dos, and knowledge base files. Every conversation in Ogadu lives inside a project.

How to Create a Project

You can create a project from several places:

• Click the button next to Personal or an organization name in the sidebar.
• Click New Project or New Group Project on the dashboard.
• These all open the same Create Project modal.

Billing Mode

Budget Limit

Optionally set a spending cap to control costs:

• Enter a dollar amount (e.g., 100.00).
• Leave it blank for unlimited spending.
• This can be changed later in Project Settings.
• When the budget is reached, AI operations in the project are blocked until an admin increases the limit or resets usage.

For more details, see Budget Caps.

After Creation

You'll be taken to the project page, which has three tabs:

• To Dos (📋) — task management
• Chats (💬) — conversations
• Knowledge Base (📎) — uploaded files

You'll also see a budget bar at the top showing your spending relative to the limit (if one is set).
