# Observatory

> Where teams reason over workspace knowledge

**Observatory** (Reasoning Observatory) is where teams work on top of knowledge that [Studio](/products/studio) maintains. Answers, canvases, dashboards, documents, and decks are produced here, with reasoning over the workspace rather than a generic model call.

Observatory lives in the signed-in app at [app.aiql.io](https://app.aiql.io), in the same workspace as Studio.

## What teams do in Observatory

* **Explore** — natural-language chat and inquiries against ingested workspace knowledge.
* **Brainstorm** — canvases for structuring ideas against that knowledge.
* **Analyze** — dashboards over workspace data.
* **Build** — documents authored from the knowledge layer.
* **Present** — decks for the same material.
* **Automate** — apps, agents, and skills that run on the workspace.

Explore in Observatory is workspace-grounded. The standalone website assistant at [assistant.aiql.io](https://assistant.aiql.io) is a separate product. See [Assistant](/products/assistant).

Programmatic access to canvases, dashboards, documents, and presentations is the [Artifacts API](/products/artifacts-api). Explore uses [answer](/products/models-answers) models. The same tools can be embedded in a customer's product through the [React SDK](/products/react-sdk).
