# Workspace

> Chat with an installed Agent without attaching a patient — for work that shouldn't pull patient context.

The **Workspace** is a chat between you and an [Agent](/concepts/agent), with no patient attached. Use it for anything that doesn't belong in a specific patient's chat history — drafting language, working through a general clinical question, trying an Agent out before you use it on a real case.

<Info>
  Only Agents you've downloaded from the [Isa Hub](/isa/browse-hub) can be picked here. The [Primary Agent](/isa/primary-agent) doesn't appear in the Workspace — it belongs to [Patient Chat](/isa/patient-chat).
</Info>

## Pick an Agent

Pick an agent at the top of the screen. The picker lists every Agent on this device whose [Environment](/hub/build-agent#pick-a-category-and-environments) includes **Workspace** — that's a setting the Agent's author picks on the [Community Hub](https://alpha.isaree.ai/en/community) when they build it. A patient-only Agent (a summarisation Agent that needs patient memory, for example) won't appear here even if you've downloaded it.

Choose one, and the composer activates. If the picker is empty, head to the [Isa Hub](/isa/browse-hub) and download an Agent marked **Workspace**.

## Send a message

Type in the composer and send. The Agent replies inline. The chat is its own thread — nothing from a Patient Chat leaks in, and nothing here leaks back into a patient's record.

## Switch chats

The list icon in the top left opens the Workspace history — every chat you've started here. Tap one to reopen it, or use the new-chat icon at the top to start fresh with the same Agent.

## Understand what data stays on this device

* **The chat history** is stored on the device it was created on. It doesn't sync to your other devices.
* **What the Agent processes** depends on the Agent. An [on-device](/concepts/on-device-vs-cloud) Agent keeps the chat on the device; a cloud Agent sends it to its provider. See [Data and privacy](/get-started/data-and-privacy).
