Open the workspace nav, click **New project**, give it a name and a one-line description of what the project is about. That's it — the team is ready to work on it immediately.

**What to put in the description**

- What the project is (a product, a campaign, a launch, a side bet)
- Who it's for (your audience or customer)
- What success looks like, roughly

The description seeds Astra's understanding of the project. Two sentences is usually enough; she'll ask for more if she needs it.

**You don't need to set anything else up**

- The team is already on the project — no hiring step
- The credit balance is shared from the workspace — no separate billing
- Knowledge from the workspace flows in automatically — brand voice, customer notes

**When to create a new project (vs. use the existing one)**

Create a new project when the work has a different audience, a different goal, or a different brand voice. Don't create one for every small initiative — those belong as tasks inside an existing project.

**First step after creating it**

Drop into the CEO chat for the new project and tell Astra what you want to do first. She'll propose a starting task or two.

For what a project actually contains, see the project reference.
