Your Beam workspace is where your team collaborates on AI agent automation. Whether you’re creating a new workspace or joining an existing one, setup takes just minutes.

Understanding Workspaces

A workspace is your team’s dedicated environment for building and managing AI agents. Each workspace keeps your team’s agents, tasks, and integrations completely separate from other organizations using Beam. What’s Included:
  • Team member access and permissions
  • Shared agents and workflows
  • Integration connections
  • Task execution history
  • Workspace-level settings
Beam offers SaaS (cloud-hosted), Managed Service (dedicated infrastructure), and Self-hosted deployment options. All provide the same workspace management experience.

Creating Your Workspace

  1. Click the workspace dropdown in the top-left corner
  2. Select “Create or Join Workspace”
  3. Click the “Create workspace” tab

  • Appears in workspace dropdown for all members

Create and Invite Members

If you’ve been invited by a team member, follow these steps.

Check Your Invitation

Authentication Methods:
