New: Collaborative Projects and Persistent Files

Archestra agents now have a collaborative workspace: files that persist across chats and runs, and Projects that keep chats, files, scheduled tasks, and instructions together.

Archestra agents now have a workspace — similar to Claude Cowork's Projects or OpenClaw, but tailor-made for a collaborative corporate environment.

A proper file toolset

The agent can create, read, and update files as it works, and they persist across chats and runs. It can:

Create PDFs
Zip and unzip archives
Do math on .csv files with code execution instead of hallucinating the numbers

And more. Unlike OpenClaw, none of this runs arbitrary code on your machine or touches your filesystem. Archestra runs code in Dagger sandboxes, and stores files in Postgres by default. Deployments can switch storage to a Kubernetes volume (PVC) or an S3 bucket.

Put a project on a schedule

A scheduled task runs your agent on a cron schedule, in the project's context and with the project's instructions applied, and writes its results straight into the project's files. And because agents are connected to the MCP Orchestrator, recurring work — a morning digest, a weekly report — can also reach you over Slack or email.

Getting started

Projects ship in Archestra 1.3.3 "Lyra" — update to 1.3.3 or newer. Create a project, give it a goal and any instructions, and start working with the agents and tools you've already connected.
