AltStudio documentation
Guides and reference for building with the canvas, working with Alto, managing knowledge, and automating work with agents.
AltStudio is an AI workspace for knowledge work — research, analysis, and the documents, decks, and deliverables that come out of it. You work alongside Alto, an AI partner that can hold a conversation, build visual workflows on a canvas, draw on everything in your knowledge store, and hand work off to agents that run on their own.
These docs explain what the platform can do and how to get the most out of it.
