The Artifacts API is how Observatory work products are created, read, updated, and listed. Artifacts live in a workspace that the Middleware API owns. Observatory is the authoring surface. The React SDK embeds the same artifacts in a customer’s product.

​
What it covers

  • Inquiries — Explore threads against ingested workspace knowledge.
  • Canvases — Brainstorm boards.
  • Dashboards — Analyze views over workspace data.
  • Documents — authored documents from the knowledge layer.
  • Presentations — decks of the same material.
Artifacts are not sources. Sources are ingested inputs on the Middleware API. Artifacts are outputs teams produce on top of that knowledge. The Python SDK and TypeScript SDK expose canvases and dashboards as typed clients. The React SDK embeds canvases, dashboards, chat, documents, and presentations.
