AI workspaces are short-lived workloads Ankra’s AI runs for you: code-search workspaces, agent and subagent pods, and time-limited PR demos of your applications. They all run on a staging cluster you designate, never on your production clusters. Configure everything under AISettingsWorkspaces.

Staging Cluster

Pick one of your connected clusters as the staging cluster. Its agent must be online for workspaces to start - the page shows the agent status for the saved cluster. The same card sets the default AI mode new integrations start in (for example Ask, which allows read-only operations plus low-risk creates) - individual Slack, Teams, and Git connections can override it.

Preview Domain

PR demos can get a public URL. Point a wildcard DNS zone at the staging cluster’s ingress, then set the preview domain, ingress class, and TLS secret here. Without a preview domain, demos stay in-cluster only. See PR preview environments for the full flow from pull request to running demo.

Time-to-Live

Workspaces clean themselves up:
  • Workspace TTL - how long code-search and agent workspaces live.
  • Demo TTL - the default lifetime of a PR demo.
  • Per-role caps - the longest a member of each role (admins and owners, operators, members) can keep a demo running.

Active Workspaces

The bottom of the page lists every running workspace and PR demo with its cluster, namespace, and expiry. Admins can terminate any of them; the workspace’s namespace on the staging cluster is deleted shortly after.

Permissions

Changing the staging cluster, preview domain, or TTLs requires organisation admin. All members can see the active workspace list.
