# Studio Workspace Overview

# Studio Workspace Overview

Redbit AI is a creative production workspace for turning prompts, source media, and reusable assets into image, video, speech, audio, and project outputs. The core workspace is built around independent task cards, an Asset Dock, a Creative Workshop, a guarded Agent layer, and explicit model/provider configuration.

## Who Should Read This

| Reader                | Use this page to                                                            |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| New users             | Understand the main workspace areas before the first generation             |
| Customer-facing teams | Explain what Redbit coordinates and what remains provider-owned             |
| Team members          | Align product, support, and engineering language before editing deeper docs |

## Before You Read

If the product terms are unfamiliar, skim [Concepts and Glossary](./concepts.mdx) first. Redbit coordinates workflows around configured providers; it does not guarantee provider quota, latency, uptime, policy, or output quality.

## Product Positioning

Redbit is not only a chat interface and not only a model API wrapper. It is a workflow layer that keeps creative work visible and reusable:

* prompts and generated media live in cards instead of disappearing into one transcript;
* assets can move between cards, Asset Dock, SmartPicker, and Workshop projects;
* model routing is configured through Settings and the model registry instead of hard-coded per button;
* the Agent can inspect workspace state and call bounded tools for cards, assets, Workshop projects, settings, search, and local integrations.

## Main Areas

<Steps>
  <Step title="Canvas">
    The `/dashboard` workspace shows cards for `image`, `video`, `speech`, `describe`, and `audio` tasks. A card keeps its own prompt, model, variant, ratio, references, generation status, and results.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Asset Dock">
    Asset Dock stores reusable image, video, audio, and text assets. Items can be pinned, searched, compared, and selected through SmartPicker as references for later work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Creative Workshop">
    `/workshop` manages project-level creative production: script, storyboard scenes, image generation, video generation, voiceover, music, rhythm video, consistency references, and export packages.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Settings and model registry">
    Settings control model defaults, provider credentials, relay behavior, custom model endpoints, Agent runtime mode, and capability testing. The catalog defines supported model families, variants, ratios, and input requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Agent panel">
    The Agent reads a structured workspace snapshot and calls registered tools. Destructive operations and external effects are bounded by tool metadata, result normalization, and explicit target checks.
  </Step>
</Steps>

| Local Core             | Optional local companion service                   | Provides selected desktop, media, storage, MCP, automation, and plugin capabilities when paired         |

## Product Boundaries

Redbit uses local browser storage heavily, but some workflows necessarily call external model providers, relay services, local-core endpoints, or user-approved integrations. Treat provider configuration as BYOK: Redbit coordinates requests, but model cost, model availability, provider policy, and output quality depend on the configured provider.

Capabilities that are present in architecture notes but feature-flagged, optional, or dependent on local services are described as such in these docs. Claims that cannot be verified in the repository should be treated as planned rather than current product behavior.

## Next Step

Continue to [Evaluation Guide](./evaluation-guide.mdx) if you are deciding whether Redbit fits a team workflow, or [Quickstart](../quickstart.mdx) if you are ready to configure a minimal provider route and run the first card safely. Use [Security and Credentials](./security-credentials.mdx) before sending confidential media.
