The Project Environment in Maven Bio allows you to organize, manage, and collaborate on projects in a structured way. It functions similarly to your personal workspace, known as My Work, but with additional sharing and collaboration capabilities.
Understanding the difference between My Work and Projects is key to working efficiently in Maven Bio.
My Work vs. Projects
My Work
Your personal workspace
Not shareable as a whole, though individual files within My Work can be shared
Designed to keep your individual tasks and files organized in one place
Projects
Sub environment created within Maven Bio
Shareable as a whole with other users in your organization
Structured similarly to My Work
Key: While My Work cannot be shared as a folder or workspace itself, individual Projects can be shared, making them ideal for collaborative research. Individual files within My Work can also be shared as needed
What You’ll See in a Project
Each Project homepage looks the same as the My Work homepage.
Within a Project (or within My Work), you will find:
Recent Tasks run within that project
Project Files created in that project
AI Agent tasks run in that project
This ensures that all outputs like tables, reports, spreadsheets, and other artifacts remain organized within the context of the project where they were created.
Sharing a Project
On the top-right corner of a Project page, you will find the Share Access button.
Using this feature, you can:
Share the project with specific users within your organization
Grant access to the entire organization
When you share a Project:
Shared users can access all files within the project
Shared users can view tasks that were run within the project
The project becomes a collaborative workspace
This allows teams to work together seamlessly on the same research initiative.
Why Use Projects?
Use Projects when you want to:
Organize work by client, indication, asset, or initiative
Keep related Agent tasks and files grouped together
Collaborate with teammates on the entire scope of the project
Maintain clear separation between personal and shared work
Projects help ensure your research remains structured, collaborative, and easy to navigate.
