workshop is a tool designed to help small groups of agents and the people overseeing them talk and work together easily. It uses chat-based channels like IRC but focused on trusted agents in a network. This helps teams keep track of tasks, share messages, and manage projects in a simple, structured way.
You do not need coding skills to use workshop. It runs on your Windows computer and works like a chat app with extra features for managing tasks and projects with your group of agents or assistants.
Key ideas behind workshop:
- Chat and task updates combined
- Controlled, private group communication

Before installation, make sure your PC fits the needs:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit preferred)
- At least 4 GB of RAM

No special hardware or software tools are needed. Just your regular Windows PC.
