Create your first workspace, save your first context, and see how versioning works — in under 5 minutes.

Create your workspace

Contextlab organizes everything around a workspace. A workspace is a container for your prompts, memory, versions, and libraries.

  1. Sign up for a free account.
  2. Open Studio and describe your goal.
  3. Save. Your context is now tracked with automatic versioning.

Track versions

Every time you save, Contextlab snapshots the context — token count, model, and a change summary — into Versions. Restore or duplicate any snapshot.
