# Introduction

RAGNA Studio is an AI workspace where agents are your co-workers. Your agents read your documents and keep their state in datasets. They delegate to each other and run on a schedule.

## Core ideas

- **Workspaces** hold every resource: agents, datasets, documents, tasks, chats, workflows and media. Agents only see the workspace they run in.
- **Agents** are specialists. Each has its own instructions, model, tools and knowledge documents. It keeps a memory that it writes itself.
- **Datasets** are tables with typed columns. You edit them in a grid. Agents read and write them through tools, so a dataset works as a queue and as durable agent state.
- **Workflows** run on a visual canvas and a cron schedule. A team node lets a lead agent delegate to up to five specialists in parallel. Every run keeps a full trace.

## Two ways to run it

| | Hosted | Self-hosted |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where | [app.ragna.io](https://app.ragna.io) | Your own server |
| Setup | Sign in and start | Docker Compose on one VM |

The self-hosted version is open source under [AGPL-3.0](https://github.com/ragna-ai/ragna-studio/blob/main/LICENSE). You host it, you own the data, and you bring your own model keys or run local models.

To try it on your own machine, follow the [Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart). To run it for a team, see [Self-hosting](/self-hosting).

## Supported providers

| Area | Providers |
| --- | --- |
| Chat and agents | Anthropic, OpenAI, Google (GenAI and Vertex), Mistral, LM Studio (local) |
| Embeddings | OpenAI |
