# Workspaces

## Creating a Workspace

* Organizations can set up a workspace for a specific domain (e.g. @acme.com).
* Users with that email domain will automatically see the workspace and be able to join when they sign into Glue for the first time.

Once setup, workspace members can:

* View and join various groups within the workspace.
* Start threads or direct messages with other members.

## Features of Workspaces

### **Glue AI**

Access Glue AI, an AI assistant that has context on everything happening in Glue. Can use 1:1 or in a group where all members can collaborate with Glue AI at the same time.

### **Groups**

Organize people and conversation threads into groups centered around teams, projects or topics.

### **General Group**

Communicate with your entire workspace with this automatically generated group that includes every user. Ideal for company-wide announcements, shout-outs, and reminders.

### **Guest Access**

Communicate with [guests](https://docs.glue.ai/groups/guests) (external users like contracts, customers, or partners) by adding them to a group. They do not need to be added to the entire workspace.

If your company doesn't have a workspace yet, you can [create one](https://docs.glue.ai/for-admins/workspace-setup) or [use Glue without a workspace](https://docs.glue.ai/workspaces/external-users/using-glue-without-a-workspace).
