Tabs
The tabbed workspace is the heart of the Workjet desktop app. Each tab contains a different view, and you can work across multiple tabs simultaneously — much like browser tabs, but for AI workflows.
Tab Types
Workjet supports the following tab types:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Chat | Interactive AI conversation with the chat panel |
| Document | View and discuss attached documents |
| Skill | Skill detail view with run capability |
| Assistant | Assistant configuration and monitoring |
| Automation | Engine configuration and run history |
| Tools | MCP connector configuration and management |
| Settings | App configuration panel |
| Webview | Embedded browser for external URLs |
| Marketplace | Browse and install community skills |
| Inbox | Notifications and activity feed |
