# Creating and managing projects

Every workspace contains at least one project.

A workspace project contains one or more local databases and database connections, along with the workflows, plans, and mock API endpoints used to generate and work with the data.

The Data Agent chat spans the project.

## Creating a project

The project is added to the current workspace, which is listed with the account under the user name.

   The [project selection panel](#switching-to-another-project) also contains a **New Project** option.
