Understanding Workspaces
A JIVIQ Workspace is the front door for your customer chat interactions. It brings together your website chat widget, dedicated chat link, Knowledge Base, and brand AI assistant into one cohesive hub.
Every customer conversation in JIVIQ begins inside a Workspace. Whether a prospect clicks a chat bubble on your website, opens a direct link from your email signature, or asks questions to your AI assistant, that activity flows through your configured Workspace. Learn more about JIVIQ on our official homepage.
What Is a JIVIQ Workspace?
Think of a Workspace as your company's digital reception desk for customer conversations:
When you complete signup and verify your email, JIVIQ automatically prompts you to initialize your first Workspace. This gives your business a dedicated customer touchpoint equipped with conversational intelligence, live chat, and automated customer routing.
Why Does JIVIQ Use Workspaces?
Modern businesses often engage customers across different channels, separate brands, or distinct departments (like sales inquiries vs. technical support). JIVIQ uses Workspaces to provide three critical architectural advantages:
1. Isolated Brand Identity
Each Workspace has its own name, branding, custom chat link, and tone of voice for customer-facing touchpoints.
2. Targeted Knowledge Base
Train your AI on exact website URLs, pricing sheets, or FAQs specific to that brand or department.
3. Dedicated AI Modes
Configure Autopilot, Copilot, or Off settings independently per workspace to fit your team's workflow.
4. Unified Customer Records
Every conversation across all workspaces feeds into one centralized customer record by default.
What Does a Workspace Include?
Every newly created Workspace provides four integrated assets:
Dedicated Chat Link
A clean, standalone URL you can share in email footers, social bios, and outreach messages.
Website Widget Code
A lightweight script snippet to install live AI chat and voice calls on your website.
Knowledge Base
The repository where you import website URLs and documents to ground your AI answers.
Brand AI Assistant
An AI assistant configured to speak in your brand tone and answer questions 24/7.
How Many Workspaces Do I Need?
Most businesses need exactly one Workspace. A single Workspace provides all the tools required to manage your website widget, conversational AI, team inbox, and customer context.
When Should I Create Another Workspace?
Account owners and administrators can create additional Workspaces under Settings → Workspaces in scenarios such as:
If your company operates distinct sister brands or product lines that require unique brand names, different website chat widgets, and separate logos.
If you want a dedicated sales widget with aggressive lead capture and a separate support widget grounded strictly in technical documentation.
If your organization manages localized subsidiaries with dedicated knowledge bases and operating hours.
