Personal & team workspaces

Exo comes in two shapes. A personal workspace hides the infrastructure and gets you to a running agent in a couple of clicks; a team workspace exposes the full control plane.

Most of Exo's surface exists because organisations need it: deployments, members, roles, policies, audit. If you are one person wanting an agent that does something useful, that is a lot of furniture. So signup asks how you will use Exo, and the answer decides how much of the platform you ever see.

A personal workspace

Choosing Just me provisions a managed workspace during signup — a real cluster with the operator installed, but one you never have to think about. There is no deployment to create, no token to paste, no connect step. The home page is a short list of your agents and what they are doing.

If the workspace provision ever stalls, the home page offers to cancel and retry it rather than leaving you staring at a spinner.

Integrations

Tools and MCP servers — two different things in a team workspace — merge into one flat Integrations page here. You connect Linear, or a database, or Google Drive, and it becomes available to your agents. MCP auto-attach is on by default in a personal workspace, so a newly connected server is usable by every agent immediately, with no per-agent wiring.

A team workspace

My team or business is the full platform: deployments you create and connect, roles and permissions, SSO and directory sync, runtime policies, and the audit surfaces. Auto-attach is off by default — capabilities are granted deliberately, per agent.

Upgrading

A personal workspace can be switched to a team workspace from Settings. The switch is one-way: the extra surfaces appear and the existing workspace, agents, and integrations carry over unchanged. There is no path back to the simplified view, so make the change when you actually need the team surfaces.
