AI Studio Pods¶
Pods are autonomous AI project teams that work on your objectives. Each pod operates as an independent unit with its own goals, tasks, team members, and file resources.
What is a Pod?¶
A pod is a self-contained AI project environment:
- Objective — The high-level goal the pod works toward
- Tasks — Specific work items broken down from the objective
- Team Members — AI agents and human collaborators assigned to the pod
- Files — Documents, code, and resources attached to the pod
- Token Budget — Allocated AI compute for the pod
Creating a Pod¶
- Navigate to AI Studio
- Click Deploy New Pod
- Configure:
- Pod Name — Descriptive name for the project
- Objective — High-level goal (e.g., “Build a REST API for inventory management”)
- Initial Tasks — One or more starting tasks
- Team Members — Add AI agents or human collaborators
- Model Preference — Select AI model (optional)
- Click Deploy
The pod is created and begins working on the initial tasks.
Pod Structure¶
Objective¶
The objective defines the pod’s mission:
Example: "Migrate the legacy PHP monolith to a microservices architecture
using Node.js and deploy to AWS"
The objective guides task prioritization and AI decision-making.
Tasks¶
Tasks are the individual work items within a pod:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title — Task name | Short description |
| Description | Detailed requirements |
| Status | Pending, In Progress, Review, Complete |
| Priority | Low, Medium, High, Critical |
| Assigned To | AI agent or team member |
| Attachments | Files related to the task |
Adding Tasks¶
- Open the pod
- Click Add Task
- Fill in task details
- Assign to a team member or leave unassigned
- Click Save
Task Status Flow¶

A[Pending] --> B[In Progress]

C --> B Team Members¶
Each pod can have multiple team members:
| Member Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Senior Architect | AI-powered lead (included in every pod) |
| AI Agents | Specialized AI workers for specific tasks |
| Human Collaborators | Team members who review and guide |
Adding Team Members¶
- Open the pod
- Click Team
- Click Add Member
- Search for a person or AI agent
- Set their role (Contributor, Reviewer, Viewer)
- Click Add
File Attachments¶
Attach files to provide context to the pod:
| File Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Documents | Requirements, specifications, designs |
| Code Files | Existing codebase, examples |
| Images | Mockups, diagrams, screenshots |
| Data Files | CSV, JSON, database schemas |
Attaching Files¶
- Open the pod
- Click Files
- Click Upload
- Select files from your computer
- Files are stored securely in the
ai-studio-filesbucket
Files are accessible to all pod members and are used as context for AI operations.
Pod Dashboard¶
The pod dashboard shows:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Overview | Pod status, objective, progress |
| Tasks | Task list with status and assignments |
| Team | Team members and roles |
| Files | Attached files and resources |
| Activity | Recent activity feed |
| Token Usage | AI compute consumption |
Multi-Model Support¶
Pods can leverage multiple AI models:
| Model | Best For |
|---|---|
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | Complex reasoning, architecture, code generation |
| GPT-4o | General tasks, documentation, refactoring |
| Gemini 1.5 Pro | Large context windows, multi-file analysis |
| DeepSeek Coder | Cost-efficient code generation and refactoring |
Model Selection¶
- Automatic — The system selects the best model per task (default)
- Manual — Specify a preferred model when creating tasks
- Per-Pod — Set a default model preference for the entire pod
Token Usage¶
Each pod tracks its own token consumption:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Tokens Used | Total tokens consumed |
| By Model | Breakdown per AI model |
| By Task | Tokens consumed per task |
| Budget Remaining | Tokens left in the pod’s allocation |
View detailed token usage in the Token Usage section.
Pod Lifecycle¶
Active¶
The pod is actively working on tasks. AI agents process tasks, team members collaborate, and files are managed.
Paused¶
The pod is temporarily suspended:
- No new AI processing occurs
- Existing work is preserved
- Team members can still review completed tasks
- Token consumption stops
Archived¶
The pod is completed and archived:
- All work is preserved for reference
- No further modifications
- Files remain accessible
- Token usage history is retained
Managing Pods¶
Duplicate a Pod¶
Create a copy of an existing pod:
- Open the pod
- Click Duplicate
- Modify the name and objective
- Click Create
The new pod inherits tasks, files, and team members.
Export Pod Data¶
Export all pod data for backup or migration:
- Open the pod
- Click Export
- Select data to export:
- Tasks and status
- File list
- Activity log
- Token usage report
- Download as JSON or CSV
Best Practices¶
- Define clear objectives — Specific, measurable goals lead to better outcomes
- Break down tasks — Smaller tasks are completed more reliably
- Attach relevant files — Context improves AI performance
- Review regularly — Check pod progress and redirect as needed
- Monitor token usage — Stay within budget by tracking consumption
