# Core concepts

> The handful of ideas that make aidax click.

aidax has a small set of concepts. Learn these and everything else falls into place.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Workspace" icon="layout-dashboard" href="/concepts/workspaces">
    Your business's home and control panel. See the health of every project at a glance.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Project" icon="folder-kanban" href="/concepts/projects">
    A focused piece of work: **define → execute → review**. The workshop where things get made.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Memory" icon="brain" href="/concepts/memory">
    Everything your business knows — facts, notes, and reusable playbooks. Grows as work gets done.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Apps & Assets" icon="package" href="/concepts/apps-and-assets">
    What aidax produces. **Apps** you open and use; **Assets** you reuse to build more.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agents" icon="bot" href="/concepts/agents">
    The AI workers that do the work — coordinated for you, with you approving what matters.

## How they fit together

* Your **Workspace** holds everything for one business or brand.
* Inside it, you run **Projects** — each one a scoped piece of work.
* Agents (and your team) execute the project and produce **Apps & Assets** — the real deliverables.
* What the work teaches gets distilled into **Memory**, so your business is smarter next time.
* When something becomes repeatable, it graduates into a **Playbook** that can run itself.

<Info>
  **Two words to keep straight:** aidax organizes your *work* (Projects) separately from your *durable results and knowledge* (Apps, Assets, Memory). Archive a project to tidy up — its deliverables and learnings live on.

## Memory at three altitudes

A recurring idea in aidax — borrowed from how well-run companies report in three levels (**Vision / Strategy / Execution**) — is that memory lives at three altitudes:

| Altitude      | Level                         | Answers                                   |
| ------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **Vision**    | Organization *(coming later)* | **Why** — where the business is headed    |
| **Strategy**  | Workspace                     | **What** — what you know and have decided |
| **Execution** | Project                       | **How** — how it got done, and who did it |

Learning flows upward: execution becomes knowledge, knowledge shapes direction. More on this in [Memory](/concepts/memory).
