Hops has a few key ideas. Once you get these, everything else clicks.

​
Spaces

A Space is a project room. It’s where your team has conversations, shares docs, maintains standing context, and works with agents — all in one place.Create a Space for a launch, a client, or an ongoing team channel. Everything inside becomes context your agents can use.
One Space per project or workflow keeps things focused and makes your agents more accurate.

Agents

Three kinds of agents in Hops: the default Hops agent, the private Personal Assistant, and a Custom Agent (Legal helper).

Agents are the AI members of your team. They live inside your Spaces, respond when you tag them with @, and use your team’s actual context to get work done.
  • Default agent (@Hops) — available in every Space, no setup needed. Uses admin-added connections plus your personal connections.
  • Custom agents — built for specific roles with their own instructions and connections. Tag with @[name].
  • Personal agent — private to you, reads only your personal connections.
A Space can have multiple agents. Tag different ones in the same thread and each responds from its own specialization. See Agents for the full picture.

​
Shared context

Your agents remember. Every conversation, every doc, and every connected tool adds to a Space’s shared context. The next question already has the background — nobody re-explains the project.Context comes from:
  • The Space Context document — a pinned brief agents always read
  • Conversations in your Spaces
  • Docs, files, and artifacts shared with the team
  • Tools you’ve connected (Slack, Drive, Salesforce, etc.)
  • Previous decisions and work
Set up Space Context early — it’s the fastest way to make every agent in the Space sharper.

​
Connected tools

Hops connects to 2,000+ apps via the Pipedream catalog. Once a tool is connected, agents can read from it instead of you copy-pasting.
  • The default @Hops agent uses admin-added connections plus your personal connections.
  • Custom agents get their own connections.
  • Your personal agent uses only your personal connections.

One search covers your whole workspace. Click the Search icon at the bottom of the left sidebar (or press ⌘ K).You’ll find Spaces, docs, files, tables, and messages you have access to. Filter by From, In, Type, or Shared with, and sort by relevance or recency.
Search is scoped to what you can access. Private Spaces you’re not in won’t appear.

​
Activity

The Activity tab in the left sidebar is your unified inbox. Every notification lands here — @mentions, thread replies, agent updates, and Personal Assistant nudges — so you don’t have to scan each Space.
  • Click any entry to jump into the source thread.
  • Filter to narrow to mentions, replies, or a specific update type.
  • Mark all as read with the double-check icon.

Visible work and control

Every agent response shows what it used and what it did. Anything with real-world consequences (sending an email, updating a record) asks for your approval first.
