Tour of the interface

Find your way around Compass — the workspace switcher, Forge, Console, Home, Compass Chat, and Settings.

Compass is organized around two jobs: building AI and operating it. Once you know where those live, the whole app is easy to navigate.

The layout

Every screen shares the same shell:

Top bar — the workspace switcher (your current organization and project), plus access to Compass Chat and your account.
Left navigation — a single rail with Home at the top, then two groups: Forge (build) and Console (operate).
Main area — whatever you're working on.

The workspace switcher

At the top of the app, the switcher shows which organization and project you're in. Everything you see and create is scoped to that selection.

Switch organization to move between companies you belong to. (You'll only see a switcher if you belong to more than one.)
Switch project to move between containers within an organization — for example staging and production.
Create a project from the switcher when you need a new container.

Organizations are set up by Sage and can't be created in the app; projects you manage yourself. See Organizations and Projects.

Home

Home is your dashboard. It greets you and gives you:

Quick actions — jump straight to a new workflow, a new agent, or connections.
A metrics strip — live deployments, runs in the last 24 hours, success rate, and average run time, each with a trend versus the day before.
Recent runs — the latest executions across the project; click any one to open its trace.

Forge — where you build

The Forge group holds the three building surfaces:

Workflows

The visual canvas for assembling multi-step pipelines from nodes.

Agents

The form-based builder for a single AI worker with tools.

Connections

Your providers, integrations, and gateways — the models and tools your AI uses.

Both builders auto-save your work as a draft and surface validation as you go. When you're ready, you Deploy from within the builder.

Console — where you operate

The Console group is for running and watching deployed work:

Deployments

Every live agent and workflow, the version each is pinned to, and the schedules that fire them. Promote versions or roll back here.

Observability

Runs, traces, and metrics across the project — success rate, latency, token usage, and a step-by-step view of any run.

Compass Chat is a conversational way to run your work, available from the top of the app. You choose which agents, workflows, and integrations the chat can use, then talk to it; replies stream in, and each one has a trace you can open. It's handy both for real use and for trying deployed work quickly.

Settings

Settings is where you manage your account and workspace. It's organized into:

Profile — your name, security, and active sessions.
Organization — members, invitations, and roles (for admins).
Project — the current project's name, description, and members.
Developers — API keys for programmatic access.
